Secret Safe Books Studio Feature

Kara from Secret Safe Books' niche product is a series of books with their insides cut-out so that valuables can be hidden within.

What I love about these books is that they are real. Kara is happy to accept custom orders if buyers want a specific book used or a particular shape cut-out from within the book. This customization ensures that the book looks perfectly natural in your home/office. This is important because you can use these Secret Safe Books to hold your passport, money, keys or other valuables. . .and the uniqueness of the book means that it won't easily stand out on a shelf.

Check out Kara in her studio:

Even if custom ordering isn't what you're after, I'm sure you'll find something that you'll like from the extensive collection of books in both the cult classics/pop culture and classics/keepsakes sections. Just take a look at some of the 'pre-made' books Kara has on offer:


You can look at these books and others in the Secret Safe Books site.

What book would you want to get custom fitted? What would you hide inside?

I love, love, love the secret books. I've wanted to make one myself for a while, but I have no idea how one would go about it in an easier way than gluing every. single. page. together. And that seems like it would take ages.

I'd hide several things that were important to me. A letter, a locket, a picture, a red porcelain heart from Venice... oh so many special things. :]

I couldn't believe Kara's prices on these books when I saw her site! I'd rather her make me one to my specifications than try to cut out all those pages myself. Don't even know where I would begin!

Lovely shop. Another heart for another great shop on Etsy!

Many people have those Twilight books, so that last photo's book wouldn't stand out - no one would know if was a stash book. :)
Hey there! Kara of SecretSafeBooks.Etsy.com here :) Thanks for all the great comments. I used to actually cut the books by hand with an x-acto until last year when Santa brought me a scroll saw. Santa is awesome!
