  • Once this is done you will use your glue gun to make studs or patterns on the covers.

  • Next, you will want to separate your paper towels into 1 ply.
  • Once you do this you will want to moisten them with a couple of drops of water.
  • Squeeze out any excess. You will want it to be barely damp.

  • Then, place the book open with the hardcover sides facing up.
  • Apply a layer of mod podge on the book and begin applying the paper towel in small sections to the cover, back, and spine.
  • You want to make small wrinkles and work the pieces around any lettering.
  • Apply another layer of modge podge using a dabbing motion.
  • Use the hairdryer for about 5 minutes to dry. If you don’t use a hairdryer, you will need to let everything sit overnight and it could take a few days.
  • Use a sponge paintbrush to apply black paint to the entire cover, back, and spine of the book.

  • Use the hairdryer again for about 5 minutes to dry the paint.
  • Use the small bristle brush to apply metallic paint to the lettering and any embellishments that were applied. Try mixing golds and silvers for a really interesting look.
  • Use the hairdryer again for about 5 minutes to dry the paint.

  • Use the distressing ink to apply stain to the edges of the pages.
  • Crumble and bend the pages without tearing them to create a worn-in look.
  • Finish your craft by adding gems or wrapping in ribbon/suede.
  • Pro-tip for making DIY Spell Books: I find a “dabbing” motion to be most helpful with this craft … for all the painting steps.
