I just finished the last coat of sealer on this last night. I adapted and painted a Donna & Kenna design for the cover and sealed it up really well.

This is a great thing to do for a little treasure box for a kid. If you can't paint then decoupage or put stickers or something to make a new cover for them and use stick on letters to personalize it.

I used an exacto knife and cut through a few pages at a time. This is time consuming but it's the only hard part about the whole project LOL.

Once it's all cut and trimmed I used modpodge (or you can use white glue, whatever your weapon of choice is LOL) and carefully brush on around all the pages on the outside to seal them together solidly. I let that coat dry and gave it two more, letting it dry properly between each coat. I also gave the inside of the box a couple coats. Optional, is to glue a square of felt inside to give it a nice lined box appearance.

I think that's about it :) Just click on the pictures to enlarge them.
