Day 5 – Alice in Wonderland Book Boxes!
Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Art Projects, Cat's Away... 2015, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Sale, Teri Calia
It’s day FIVE of this week of While the Cat’s Away Giveaways!
And today’s theme is Alice in Wonderland Book Boxes!
Cute, cute cute! Teri Calia has been at it again… creating not one but TWO new sets of collage sheets to make a seemingly normal old book for your bookcase, that contains a drawer and space for a hidden scene inside!
The Wonderland and Looking Glass Book Box Collage Sheets supply the faux book covers, spine, pages (and extra bits to get you started on a scene or extra decorations) to match the smaller of the Hidden Drawer Book Boxes. So you can make both Alice books by the good Reverend Dodgson.
Here’s a bit of text from Teri’s blog post as an introduction to her project:
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of my all time favorite books! Along with the sequel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, you have only to pick up either book, flip to any chapter and be instantly amused by the crazy antics of Alice and friends. That is why I couldn’t resist doing a couple of collage sheets for both books sized to use with the Hidden Drawer Book Box.
“I added The White Rabbit to the cover standing on a stack of books and holding a pocket watch. The White Rabbit is also standing on a pile of books on the back cover, where he is joined by a framed photograph of Lewis Carroll himself. Inside you find Alice contemplating a bottle labeled “drink me” as the Mad Hatter peers at her from behind the curtain.
“My favorite feature is the tiny key with a tassel made out of thread. I almost went blind making that tassel 🙂 but it matches the tassel on the book mark I attached to the top of the book so it was well worth the effort!”
Here’s Teri’s full Supply List.
Note: Teri used the Hidden Drawer Book Box as her book’s structure (with that nice big, open area to build a collage in) but today we’re announcing 2 more book boxes! Both have shelves (otherwise they are the same dimensions as the 2 original books). Click the photo at left or below to get more info. And don’t miss those fab new Alice in Wonderland Chipboard Silhouettes.
In honor of the today’s theme, ALL Alice in Wonderland Collage Sheets are On Sale today! (Note: the new Alice Book Box Collage Sheets are on one-day sale price of 20% off; all other Alice in Wonderland Collage Sheets are on sale at 33% off.) See the Giveaway below for some highlights.

I am obsessed with Alice in Wonderland right now and this is a great collection!!
I love the idea(s) to do something different inside the book than what I used to do, which was leaving it empty for people to store treasures in!

This is a great project! I love all things Alice. Thanks for the wonderful images!
The Alice book is wonderful and would have been perfect to use at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party program that I did at our public library yesterday! The children would have been delighted. This would make a great accompaniment to my mini bookshop called Brillig Books and is a fitting salute to the 150th birthday of “Alice in Wonderland” which was celebrated in 2015.
Send me down the rabbit hole. I’d love to make this darlking thing.
The collage papers would make a fun Junk Journal.

Using the Alice collage sheets for my Fairy homes would add another layer of whimsy to them! Thanks for the chance to win these! Off to see if I can find a way out of this rabbit hole I seem to have fallen into!!
