Cast a spell with this Secret wizard book box. Cleverly enchanted to resemble a really thick book, this craft's main ingredient is an ordinary cardboard shoe box. Just the thing for magic pens and pencils.

What you'll need:

  • Cardboard pencil box
  • White cardstock or poster board
  • Black book cover paper or construction paper
  • Black marker
  • Gold "Painters" paint marker - wide
  • Gold Gel Pen
  • Double stick tape or tacky glue
  • Ruler
  • Scissors

How to make it:

  1. Using the black marker, color the edges of the lid of the box.
  2. Measure around the 3 sides of the box. Cut a piece of white cardstock to fit.
  3. Using the ruler, draw lines the length of the cardstock slightly spaced apart. These will be the "pages" of the book.
  4. Tape or glue the cardstock around 3 sides of the box, leaving the "back/spine" of the book open.
  5. Measure the black paper to fit the lid, spine, and back/bottom of the box. This creates the "cover" of the book.
  6. Cut the black paper out and glue or tape it to fit the box. If using glue, let it dry completely.
  7. Use your gold marker to create a title for your book. Let dry.
  8. Fill your "wizard book" with your wand and broomstick (decorated pencils).
