Book Bind 2: Turning Bunny Into a Hardcover 🐇 DIY Sprayed Edges & Faux Leather

[@JohnSeney]

Wow looking at the still photo I really thought there was a mass-market special edition of "Bunny!" That is great work that you do, congratulations!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you, That is a great compliment! It is coming along

[@CraftyStaby]

I’m tackling bookbinding as well. Sometimes though because I’m a rebel who knows better than people who have been doing this for longer than me, I tend to do things differently and end up with mistakes. At least I can learn vicariously this way. Also weeding tip for delicate patterns: do an offset. Weed the offset first and that makes weeding the smaller intricate pieces easier.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

That is fantastic advice, THANK YOU! And I agree, sometimes we have to learn the hard way for it to sink in lol

[@NerdyNatReads]

Oh my god, the crackling page noises 😮‍💨turned out gorgeous!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

So satisfying right?! I mean… knowing it turns out ok 😆

[@jhartman2000]

Yay! Another bookbinding video. I find the peeling of the vinyl borders and letters strangely satisfying. Looks great.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

You know what, now that I’m more comfortable with it, I feel the same. Last night I just zoned out weeding vinyl and listening to Master Chef lol

[@shadabali4313]

never thought that you would be someone who is this deeply invested in books.....so much lucky to came across your profile

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

I’m happy we connected! Happy reading to you my friend!

[@Johanna_reads]

It looks so good! Great concept for this book and execution!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! This was a fun one since it has dark academia vibes.

[@percydoeseverything]

Cracking lose those sprayed edges 😍

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

It is SO satisfying!

[@percydoeseverything]

Stunning finished result!!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! I love the classic look

[@someothercharacter]

Great result. Spray paint is a pain to work with, even on a slightly breezy day.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

It always gets in places you never intended it to lol 😂

[@BecxReadz]

Great job.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 progress

Oh, this one came out even better! I was wondering, how many hours of work did the whole process take? Including the time spent designing the cover, and the various attempts with the font?

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Ooh that’s a good question, I have no idea! Maybe about 4 hours of actual work, plus the time it needs to sit in the book press. It’s been really fun to work on it and zone out with an audio book. Or this week I listed to Master Chef while weeding the vinyl for bind 3.

Do you find that the faux leather sticks to the hinges well or not really?

[@mellissafoster2082]

That's beautiful. Where did you find the leather? The ones I've tried are so thick and hard to work with.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Hi! Here is the self-adhesive leather I used for this rebind: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095XZQ56B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@JAKandtheBookStack thank you!

[@SoliLiloo]

Love this one!! Where did you find that stunning glitter paper??? I need them for my ACOTAR rebinds, it’s just too pretty!🩷 4:37

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you!! I found the paper at Michael’s. I like that it doesn’t shed glitter. That could be so pretty on ACOTAR books!!
