Trimmed book spines to hide fuse box

[Bluubird]

I'm trying to hide an ugly fuse box with some books, and found a few companies selling these trimmed book spines on Etsy:

Example 1

Example 2

They'd do the job perfectly, but they're all from American companies, so the shipping is pretty steep. Has anyone come across an English company that makes a similar thing? TIA!

It would be fairly straightforward to buy some hardbacks from a charity shop and do it yourself, I’d have thought.

Go to the charity shop and make some? You just need a good craft knife and a hot glue gun.
You can choose the novels you want then too

Could you make one yourself, you can buy sets of lovely old books on ebay for about £20 a bundle. Unless you're absolutely useless at anything crafty. 😬

Also timberyards usually have a big electric saw you can use for a few quid.

Did you set the filter to only show things from the UK? I came across this, so a fake book you could easily cut down as no pages.

There are lots of similar things if you scroll down that page.

It doesn't fit (looks odd) next to the PC / electrical equipment. Are there any alternative designs?

Depending where your fuse box is, the other option is using a top hinged box with the back cut out, and a framed picture on top (now the vertical front of the box)

do you actually mean a fuse box (the mains electricity fuse board where you turn the electricity on and off and the circuit breakers are) or do you mean something else?

If you do mean the mains fuse box, I would check whether it would be wise/safe/ok to cover it with something like this for lots of reasons - fire risk, obstruction when you or emergency services may need to access it very quickly, 'hiding' it when emergency services may be looking for it urgently.

I am phenomenally uncrafty @Ljufr ! I did think about it, but I don't quite trust myself with a pile of books and a saw! 😂
That's really useful @PhoneEarHead , thank you so much!

😥 RIP
