Step 1: Glue Pages
Smear a layer of wood glue along the edges of each book you plan to cut open, to secure the pages in place. If you plan on stacking two books, glue them together without putting glue in the area you intend to cut, as this will make it more difficult to cut through.
Step 2: Mark Cutting Area
Mark out the area you intend to cut out in pencil.
Step 3: Cut Pages
Use a craft knife to slice out the area you marked. Cutting through the cover can take a lot of effort, but just keep going - you'll get there. :)
Step 4: Add Plastic Lining
Once the cut area is as deep as you want it to be, glue a piece of a clear plastic bag (such as a ziplock bag) into the cut area, and trim the edges to the height of the book cover. This will stop water and sand leaking into the book when you put your plant in.
Step 5: Add Plant
Put your plant into the book, and look after it according to its needs.
