How to Hollow a Book

By , About.com Guide   July 6, 2009

Follow me on:

Most desktop publishing projects involving books are about how to design a book but some design or arts & crafts projects are more about destroying them -- sort of. Have you ever attempted to create a hollow book -- as a decorative container or a secret hiding place, perhaps? I've done it. It can be tricky. How to Hollow a Book in 80 Easy Steps by Heather Rivers (her blog at Tumblr) is one of the best illustrated tutorials I've seen on doing this.

That’s a great idea! The pictures make it really easy to follow along. She did a really good job. Ever since I saw a hollowed book on “The Shawshank Redemption” I’ve wondered how that was achieved. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
