DIY Hocus Pocus Spell Book (Real stitches and hideaway compartment)

Hey lovely beans!
So this is my first time filming a DIY so bear with me. I tried to explain as best I could. Hopefully seeing me do it will make sense. I did redo some things like the skin ridges, the inside pages and the snake corners if you happen to notice they change at some random point. The methods were all the same, I was just being OCD.
Please watch till the end to see the pretty spooky set I made to show off the details! :)
Thank you!
