  • I'm super excited to share this video! Last year I made some spell books which were a very last minute project made literally the night before Hallowe'en. I knew I could make some better ones, so here is a step by step guide to how you can make your own spell books using very cheap and easy bits and pieces. I love how these ones turned out. Which is your favourite?
    Materials used:
    3 large hardback books from the charity shop (£1 for all three)
    Very cheap plastic snakes and spiders (I used a small number of each)
    Metal cogs I bough off eBay 3 years ago
    PVA glue
    A few sheets of kitchen roll separated into single ply sheets
    Black acrylic paint black to cover the books
    Metallic bronze, copper, gold, pewter and sliver acrylic paint for dry brushing
    Craft foam sheets for the corner pieces painted with bronze paint
    Leather scraps for the book strap but you can use craft foam instead
    Badges cast using hot glue and silicone mould (I'll be showing you how I make those in my next video all about potion bottles).
    I also hand-painted a couple of glass cabochons with a dragon eye design, but you don't need to do that. I just really wanted a dragon eye somewhere on my book.

    The books turned out cool. I must admit, the spiders creeped me out. Too real looking (you've guessed my fear). So I'm about to make a few for Halloween props and have most of my stuff. I bought a kit of corners and knobs for a jewelry box and that will do a good portion of my adornments. I took your spider idea (and was looking for snakes too) and went to the dollar tree. I was alble to find a bag with 16 peices of "reptiles" all about the size of the spiders you have. There are frogs, scorpions, beatles, crickets and a couple of lizards. All for $1.25. All are either red or black. I'll paint some of them for placing on the spine, anything that goes on the front will likely be painted gold or bronze, some may go under the paper as part of a raised look.

    Was not expecting Ghost in a craft video about how to DYI a grimoire-est notebook for my D&D Warlock... Right ON!!!
    Edit: I realize it isn't really Ghost, but it does have a similar sound/progression, I guess.

    Wow the spell books are stunning, I love crafting, at the moment I'm, making potion bottles for the charity shop I volunteer for. I took 16 in this week and sold 14 to one lady, who has now asked me to make three spell books for her. I came home yesterday with three books from the charity shop, with not a clue where to start, your video has inspired me and I now think I can do it. Oh and when working with those piders I have to be careful not to drop them, they look so realistic and I'm terrified of spiders😄

    🇧🇷 Depois de ter visto este belo e satisfatorio video a anos atras voltei aqui para o admirar novamente Após ver a história da Prensa de Gutemberg
    E pensei... se já era trabalhoso fazer a copia de livros mesmo após o surgimento da prensa de Gutemberg q ja adiantava muito o trabalho de transcrever e copiar livros q antes eram transcritos e copiados manualmente
    Imagine então depois disso ter q juntar as paginas em ordem fazer o recorte para alinhar as folhas igualmente, unir umas as outras, pegar um coro tratado e fazer a capa do q no final seria um Livro
    Ta ai o pq livros eram muito caros
    Antigamente kkk

    Love how you did these books. I would love to try and recreate the looks, but I don't have any machines etc to make letters, dragon eye. What do you do with the pages, do you write over the top of the original print or tear pages out? TFS 🤗🤗

    • @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417
      @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks so much. If I paint the edges of the pages gold or silver with acrylic paint is usually sticks most of the pages together so I don't do anything inside. I have seen people creating stunning paint designs on the edges of pages, and they use clamps to keep the pages really tightly together and afterwards they can still leaf through the book. I don't what paint they were using, it could have been an alcohol based paint which may be less destructive than acrylic. I need to investigate this more because it would be great to add spells and potion recipes into the pages inside. If it's a book I might read I just leave the pages alone

      @@marymcintyresfxartcraft7417 Thank you for replying. I have a book that I don't want to read but would love to use for spells etc. It would be great if you could investigate more about the pages as that seems like a fab idea 🤗 I have subbed as I'm really interested in your books etc 😊

    How did you make the hot glue skull?

    • @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417
      @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417  6 месяцев назад

      Sorry for the late reply. If you have a silicone mould you can squeeze glue from your hot glue gun into it and once fully cooled and set you can pop it out and you have a badge or medallion. The skull I used here was actually half of a two-piece cake fondant mould and when you put the two pieces together it gives you a full 3D skull. I only needed the front half so I just filled that with glue then painted it. It took a lot of glue, but now I do a lot more work with epoxy resin I would use that if I made this again. It's much lighter once cured

    Is there anyways to actually paint all the pages so you can write in the book?

    • @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417
      @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417  Год назад

      I have definitely seen other people painting book pages in a way that doesn't stick them together but I'm bot sure what medium they painted it with. I guess alcohol activated paint would dry faster and wouldn't leave then pages stuck, but I don't know if it would bleed into the pages and make a mess

    What was the font that you cut the letters out with please?

    • @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417
      @marymcintyresfxartcraft7417  2 года назад

      Hi Lynne, I don't know exactly what font the letters are because I just used the cutting die for my Cuttllebug machine that had the alphabet on it. However, looking on Word, the two closest fonts to the ones in my cutting die are Forte and Monotype Corsiva. Hope that helps.

    🇧🇷 Olá saudações Brasil
    Parabéns pelo trabalho viu gostei muito
    Voce poderia fazer o Black Book of Hermaeus Mora ?
    Acho que ficaria incrível 😁
    Se quiser saber sobre Hermaeus Mora eu acho que deve ter uma descrição sobre ele na Wikipedia
    Só pra caso voce queira ter um contexto sobre o que voce ta fazendo 😅rs
    Mas em resumo ele é um ser de um game chamado The Elder Scrolls
    E no universo desse game ele é basicamente um ser divino que armazena conhecimento sobre tudo
    Em sua grande biblioteca
