DIY Customized Book Safe

My nephew prefers cash to presents. I wanted to find a fun way to package it. What's more fun than a book safe, such as the one in which Andy hid his rock hammer (you've seen The Shawkshank Redemption, right? It's one of my all-time favorite movies! Thank you, Ted Turner, for showing it on TNT eleventy billion times!). 

I made this book safe with my nephew's first initial. Pretty sure he liked it! Or at least he liked the money hidden inside :-).

You will need:
  • Book you don't mind destroying. This was copy of A Divine Comedy. I feel a little bad about cutting up Dante :-(. 
  • Scrap piece of stiff paper - cardstock or thin cardboard
  • Scissors
  • Exacto knife or box cutter
  • Money and rubber band 
  • Double-sided tape
