Stare no more at your unsightly black cable box or modem! This simple and easy tutorial shows you how to hide you cable box using old books.
Take the paper cover to a hardcover book and wrap it around your cable box.
If the book cover isn't quite big enough, use a second paper cover from another book to fill the exposed edge.
I cut my paper cover to fit it exactly.
Add a couple books of the same height to "fill" the paper cover so it looks like an actual book.
That's it! It's so simple and customizable to fit the size of your cable box or modem. For more details on how I made mine and to see more home DIYs, visit http://www.hammerandheelsblog.com/how-to-hide-an-unsightly-cable-box/.
