Box of unwanted books

Printed publications began to lose relevance. Imperishable masterpieces still deserve the best places on the shelves, but one-off editions are only suitable for kindling the fireplace. You can also make an excellent box with your own hands from such a book.
Materials and tools for work:

• Book;
  
• PVA and “Moment”;
  
• paper;
  
• scissors;
  
• colored felt;
  
• pearlescent shadows;
  
• paper knife;
  
• decor;
  
• ruler;
  
• pen.

Stages of work:
1. Line the covers and pages with paper.
2. Glue the edges of the sheets.

3.Draw the size and shape of the internal space.
4.Cut an internal recess to the entire depth of the book.

5. Cover the sides with felt rectangles from the inside.
6.Wrap the outside of the book with a large piece of felt, coat the covers with Moment, and glue them on.
7. Fold the free edges inward, cut out extra squares at the corners, glue, and press the entire structure with a press. Tuck the remaining loose strips of felt into the binding.

8.Glue the inside with felt of a different color on all remaining surfaces and glue the bottom to the sheets.

9.On the outside, cover the edges of the sheets with golden pearlescent paint, mixing it with PVA glue.
