Necronomicon: Book Of The Dead

Step 7 Book Burning

I let that dry over night. I wanted to really make it look like this book had been through hell, so I burned the edges. I took my lighter and started burning the edges of the book one small section at a time. I would blow out the flames and then I used a cold bowl of water to make sure each edge was completely put out. Becareful when doing this you don't want to catch you or your book on fire. That's why I use the water, because blowing out the flames may not put it out completely, using water guarantees it's out, even better use a spray bottle full of water.

Kids, always make sure you get adult supervision when making your own book of the dead.

It's gonna get messy. You'll have burned and wet edges on your book, so you'll get your hands covered in water and black soot. But it does give your necronomicon a nice rugged look, the messier the better. You're gonna wanna let this dry over night, or once again, cut some corners and use a fan.
