Valentine's Day Box

My daughter wanted to hollow out an old book for her Vday box

Need:

Old book

scissors

ruler

pencil

I wasn't sure how to go about this...so I made up my own way. I am sure there is a MUCH easier way...but hey, it worked!! :)

I bent over a few pages at a time, drew lines of where I wanted to cut. I used the width of the ruler.

Then I cut a bit on the bent/folded part, unbent the page and cut. 

I continued until I had it as deep as she wanted it:

Then she decorated the cover:

Happy Valentine's day!
