Book of Mystery and Spells KIT

This kit comes with full, hand illustrated instructions, lots of vintagey goodness, and pretties to make your own Book of Mysteries and Spells.  I always believe in using the "Good Stuff" and with this book you get some of the "Best Stuff"! Velvet, silk, old millinery, vintage rhinestones. And the tiny crystal gems on the witch's shoes and dress are not the type of crystal you get at a craft store, these are vintage new stock from the 1930s

The Kit Includes:

• Complete, illustrated instructions
• A hand drawn coloring page over a collage of vintage text
• A book cover, painted, reinforced and ready to use
• Vintage wallpaper to line the interior covers
• Textured, paintable wallpaper for the back of the book
• Vintage lace, paper clay, and a spooky eye with clay to make the eye socket, for you to create the front cover (with your own modelling paste)
• Photo of two witchy sisters and all of the embellishments you need to foof them up to add to the front of the book, including the elements to make a magic wand and broom
• Hand dyed silk ribbon for the closure, and a vintage rhinestone button to add to it
• Vintage velvet ribbon and hand dyed velvet ribbon trim for the cover
• Hand dyed silk ribbon to tie in the pages
• A beautiful, old, millinery rose in white to tie onto the silk along with  key and fleur de lis charms, and lace
• 1 piece of parchment cardstock, 1 black and white, 1 plain, and 7 pages of cardstock printed with scanned pages of an early 1900s fortune telling book  
• A scrap pack of vintage papers, images, lace, and old millinery to get started on finishing your interior pages 

Supplies needed:

• Hole punch or cropodile
• Modelling paste and something to spread it
• Scissors- regular and small for details
• Glue (I prefer Crafter’s Pick, the Ultimate, stored upside down in a cup on my desk. Always leave this glue upside down)
• Ink pads, brown or black
• Brown marker
• White opaque ink pen and a metallic pen
• Sanding block
• Acrylic craft paint (I used white and cream for the book and green for the eye)
• Glaze (or you can water down the paint, if you don’t have glaze)
• Clear glitter (I like clear, crystal, fine glitter)
• Paint brush
• Water based clear coat

There are two little witchy sisters on the front, the way I have made the book.  You can of course, play around with the kit and change things up, there are plenty of "Good Stuff" supplies to work with.

I am working on kits for standing witchy girls now.

I do have the names picked out for them, that is a great start, right?  Rowena, Agatha, Elmira, Leitha, Hazle, and Luna will soon be available as kits for you to make for your own home.

If you think you might want a little witch as well as a book, please go ahead and purchase the book kit, and let me know that you might be interested in the girls too. I'll hold your kit and combine postage after you decide.

Each kit comes with some images to use on the inside pages. Which means, that you can also switch up the witch on the front. Here is an example of the book with Rowena on the front instead. She is holding her magic wand, but I still wanted to add a broom, so I put it across the bottom of the cover.

I also left off the eye this time for a different look. The supplies in the kits can be used in many ways, but I loved the ties and charms on the first book that I did, and repeated them the same way on this 2nd book. Although, with vintage items, usually the end results never look exactly the same

Here are a few of the pages I've added in my own book.  Your kit will include scrap packs of goodies for you to work with so that you can start working on the inside of the book too.

As well as softly faded old flowers and plenty of lace to dangle from the pages.
