Doctor Who bookcovers
See the rest of these bookcovers here.
Part One:
Today, I finished my Doctor Who themed quiet book.
My two year old is going to FLIP when I hand him this to play with on our two day car ride!

Making a Simple Tardis Bookcase ================
~ $60 + 15 hours (lots of it in between waiting for paint/ wood glue to dry)
bill of material:
1. structural (use screws)
2 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 18” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 18” at HomeDepot)
4 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 36” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 36”)
24+ pcs screws - I used #6 x 1.25” (anything #6 - #10 and 1+” long works)
1 pcs - 19” x 36” (backboard; can be cut from big 4’ by 8’ of of thin plywood)2. top decoration (use wood glue)
2 pcs - 3.5” x 0.75” x 12” (sold as 3.75” by 1”, cut to 12”)
1 pcs - 3.5” x 0.75” x 19.5” (sold as 3.75” by 1”, cut to 19.5”)
1 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 17.5” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 17.5”)
3. fine decoration (use wood glue)
6 pcs - 31.75” x 2” (cut from big plywood sheet)
12 pcs - 2.625” x 2” (same plywood. * I used 11/32” thickness, but any works)
4 pcs - 2.625” x 1” ( just break two of above into 4 pieces)4. For the top tardis alarm light, I used a PVC pipe connected to a pipe cap
5. your choice of blue spray paint (white for window too) + wood glue
You can buy all these from HomeDepot, and get most of them cut for free there as well. If not, any saw would do the trick, just a bit more work on your part. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I made some CAD drawing for anyone who wants to try this as a weekend project. Good Luck and Cheers!
These are the cutest bookmarks of my life.

River Song diary
100% handmade. The pages are painted with coffee, the cover is leatherette. The TARDIS desing was done with coating, so the cover is convex. Painted with waterpfoor black ink. 300 pages.
Fantastic idea for bookshelves!

I made this book (and cheesy promo video) a couple months ago—it’s an interactive children’s book based on the adventures of Doctor Who.
I had to rewrite the story to fit it in 26 pages, and make it more suitable for children. I also did all the illustrations myself, cut each piece and assembled/bound the book by hand too. More pictures can be seen here
