Cutout Book: Finished!

I've just finished my hollow book and I'd like to see what you think! Now, let's see, where were we?

So you've just begun cutting out the beginning of the book, correct? Well, now you get to continue that step for a looong time, until you hit the back of the book. When you begin to get close to the back, I would recommend putting a thin cutting board between the last page and the back cover. I didn't do that until I realized that I had actually sliced through the back a little bit :)

Now you should have a cover, 1-3 pages in front, a whole lot of pages with no middle, and a back cover. Here's what you need to do now:

Use your glue mixture to coat the back of the block of cutout pages and press it to the back cover. Next, do the same, but for the front and those extra pages in front.

Now, you get to wait again! Pile books on top and let the glue dry once more.

Open your book. You should have a cover and then 1-3 pages that are glued to the rest, making it look like an ordinary book (sort of). Take your X-acto knife and carefully cut the front pages to the same size as the rest. The only real purpose this serves is so that you don't see the pencil lines you drew before.

You're done! Now, nobody will suspect a thing...

I hope you enjoyed it!
