The task was to create custom spell books using different craft supplies.
The text was created using stick on letters. The dimension and creature face were sculpted using air dry clay.
A video tutorial was filmed by the content coordinator where I show the steps to making the custom spell books.
14 Materials Needed:
Hardcover Sketchbook or Wood Book, Tissue Paper, Dimensional Sticker Letters, Craft Foam, Air-Dry Clay, Brads, Metal Accents, Acrylic Paint, Rub n' Buff Antique Gold, Mod Podge, Foam Brushes, Paint Brushes, Hot Glue, Sculpting Tools

1 Add dimensional sticker letters onto cover of book to spell out title. TIP: Use stickers, findings or create your own shapes with craft foam.
2 Paint a layer of Mod Podge over surface of book cover. Crumple up and then open a piece of tissue paper, place onto surface leaving wrinkles for texture. Add a top layer of Mod Podge then let dry. Repeat on back and spine of book.
3 Use air-dry clay to sculpt large, more dimensional designs onto cover. Let dry overnight.
4 Paint entire book with base color. Dry brush black acrylic paint over surface to distress.
5 Create faux metal details with craft foam and brads. TIP: Seal craft foam with Mod Podge for a smooth surface.
6 Hot glue metal accents onto book if desired. Highlight embellishments with Rub n' Buff, then distress with black paint.
7 For wooden books, paint the "pages" off white and detail with lines.
After creating these I was asked by a co-worker to create a spell book for her daughter as a gift.
