This was the first Do It, Gurl video that I ever watched in 2013. I was obsessed for a few years after, but haven’t been back in so long. Now I actually have textbooks I could cut.

It is not a waste of a book, if you leave the title alone.  I have hundreds of books, and did this project years ago without touching the outside covers at all.  In it I placed all of my expensive jewelry, then placed it back on the bookshelf.  I have been robbed twice, but my really valuable stuff remained safe.  Use a larger book for your valuable documents, shares, bonds etc, as robbers know the hiding places for safes, and simply work them out.

I remember watching Theese back in 3rd grade now I’m in 8th wow throwbacks 😂💓🤷‍♀️

Guys, just use a book that's already missing pages or has a little water damage so you won't feel bad about cutting it up.

[JamiePetitto]

DEAL! I've got some projects in the works right now, but can't wait to brainstorm on this one for the next round of DIYs!!!

I love this but can't do it. Seeing the book being cut up alone makes me want to flinch. But doing it myself would have me crying in a ball on the floor. XD

[IMAmara]

Jamie I did this one at home and it was so much fun to do. I cut my finger in the process but it felt so good when it was all done and complete, I had decided to use one of my moms old dictionaries. Thank u for the inspiration
