A thick book is ideal. The pages should be slightly yellowed and have that great old book smell.<\/p>\n<p>When you get the book home, start to gather the items that you want to incorporate into your project. Print out photographs in black and white or sepia tones.\u00a0 Find old tickets, maps and charms. Next, start cutting and gluing! Use an X-acto knife to cut compartments out of the pages.
