DIY Spell Books / Potion Books - CHEAP & EASY HALLOWEEN DECOR!

I'm super excited to share this video! Last year I made some spell books which were a very last minute project made literally the night before Hallowe'en. I knew I could make some better ones, so here is a step by step guide to how you can make your own spell books using very cheap and easy bits and pieces. I love how these ones turned out. Which is your favourite?
Materials used:
3 large hardback books from the charity shop (£1 for all three)
Very cheap plastic snakes and spiders (I used a small number of each)
Metal cogs I bough off eBay 3 years ago
PVA glue
A few sheets of kitchen roll separated into single ply sheets
Black acrylic paint black to cover the books
Metallic bronze, copper, gold, pewter and sliver acrylic paint for dry brushing
Craft foam sheets for the corner pieces painted with bronze paint
Leather scraps for the book strap but you can use craft foam instead
Badges cast using hot glue and silicone mould (I'll be showing you how I make those in my next video all about potion bottles).
I also hand-painted a couple of glass cabochons with a dragon eye design, but you don't need to do that. I just really wanted a dragon eye somewhere on my book.

Wow the spell books are stunning, I love crafting, at the moment I'm, making potion bottles for the charity shop I volunteer for. I took 16 in this week and sold 14 to one lady, who has now asked me to make three spell books for her. I came home yesterday with three books from the charity shop, with not a clue where to start, your video has inspired me and I now think I can do it. Oh and when working with those piders I have to be careful not to drop them, they look so realistic and I'm terrified of spiders😄

Our public library sells old library books for a dollar and sometimes 50 cents.

Love how you did these books. I would love to try and recreate the looks, but I don't have any machines etc to make letters, dragon eye. What do you do with the pages, do you write over the top of the original print or tear pages out? TFS 🤗🤗

Is there anyways to actually paint all the pages so you can write in the book?

[@lynnebell3211]

What was the font that you cut the letters out with please?

[@kathympage]
