I made this altered book for my son's 40th birthday. It's a secret box book – well I guess it's not a secret anymore. Set a secret box book on a coffee table to corral the remotes or on a dresser top to hold keys and change or tuck it among the tomes on your bookcase to surprise friends. I don't recommend using it to hide valuables in though. Crooks are wise to this one.
The neat thing about a secret box book is that you can personalize it to match your décor or document a special occasion or honor a special person – like the one shown here. The photo on the cover is my son standing on the salt flats in Uyuni, Bolivia.
Here's how to make a Secret Box Book for your special someone or special occasion.
That's a great idea to personalize it with a photo!
