DIY Book Clutch
What you need
- Book box OR real book
- Magnet (if using real book)
- X-acto knife (if using real book)
- Glue (if using real book)
- Lining fabric or material (implied)
Directions
- Option 1 - Book Box Method (Easier): Use a pre-made book box which already has a magnet in place to hold it closed. Simply line and decorate as desired. Option 2 - Real Book Method (More Work): Cut out the pages from a real book using an X-acto knife to create a hollow interior. Insert your own magnets and secure pages in place with glue. Line the interior for a finished look. See linked tutorial for detailed book-cutting instructions. Video tutorial available on HGTV Handmade's YouTube channel.
