Here is my cheap necronimcan:



This one took a night to put together. There is a video on youtube for this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6HGmFxxUSE]YouTube - DIY Necronomicon[/ame]

I want to recreate this using the technique in this thread, just thought I would share a quick and dirty approach.

Willy, only one of the pics are showing? It says photobucket has deleted them. Could you "refresh" the pics please? The one pic that does show is the finished product, and man it looks AWESOME!

Just another method... here are my spell books and how to make them..

Spell Book

kammo, that is amazing. it does look just like the book off of hocus pocus

Kammo VERY cool book ... and all the ideas on our site are pretty cool! Great Job.

My only suggestion - you ask for them on your site - is that you use LED string lights wherever you can. The glass lights tend to burn out. Replacing them in your sealed signs has got to be a killer job. The cost of the new LEDs is higher, but besides less hassle in the long run, they use a fraction of the elecricity and they last longer than I will.

That is a great idea... though changing out the bulbs isnt a problem really that is a much better idea.
I have used 2 of the same signs for 5 years in a row now and havnt had to change any bulbs out because I used the lights that dont break the circut if it gos out.
But you are right about the L.E.D. lights not using as much power.. I think this christmas I will be getting stocked up on the L.E.D.s


Also thanks for the props on the site guys... I will be adding some new stuff here soon, tis the season ya know...

Thanks agian..

Last year I took VoodooWillys idea a step furthur and after making several skin covered books I started making trinket boxes. I think you could propbably cover most anything with his method! I started using taxidermy eyes for my books from VanDykes....
