Bookbinding TikTok ✨

[@lunarvclipse]

This reminds me of how when I was younger I wanted to be a bookbinder after reading the inkheart trilogy! I remember I even covered some notebooks with construction paper and fixed some old dictionaries after being inspired by that series 😂

[@maggiem6209]

That leather stamper just enlightened my soul. I've been into bookbinding and leather stamping for a long time, but I JUST HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO GOSH DARN PRETTY.

My boyfriend gave me the paperback set of the Harry Potter books and told me for our wedding he wanted to replace them with hardback. This is definitely something I want to do to keep those beautiful paperbacks in good condition

[@oliviabridger2106]

If hypothetical bf gave me the hp set...........its done he is the one marry him right way

[@W1ltedRos3]

This is really cool. I wanted to do this but I didn't have much, I just tinted some bond papers with coffee, asked my grandma to help me sew it together and used a folder as the book cover. It wasn't the best but I'm sure as hell proud of it:)

The adhd and autism feel when you get a new special interest in bookbinding and hyperfocus on it for like 5 days but because of your sensory issues you can't touch any paper besides like, trashy printer paper and even then only barely I JUST WANT TO MAKE A BOOK JHDFKJDSJKSDKH

[@stateofgrace03]

could you use gloves?

[@Webdragon444]

Have you tried the paper they use for copics? Check around art stores near you, if you can, they generally have a remarkable variety :)

[@Ghost-ql6tn]

I relate so much, I hope you find something that works for you so you can make beautiful books one day!

[@RehAdventures]

People book bind their fan fictions? Huh-Never knew…

[@hobbybugs1286]

Im glad im not the only one who has completely rebound tolkeins books I did this with no experience some tape and time to read

[@thesparks00]

I'm here so I can learn how to bookbinds my fav fics.

[@imadrawer9721]

I just started book binding and it’s really fun ☺️

[@booksbythecrow]

This is great! Very cool to see three of my videos here :) (I’m lizzardbird btw)

[@irisfilmproductions]

Bro I'm in love with your work

[@trinityisnottrinity]

1:58 worked really well for me :)

[@ellis_little_life]

I love bookbinding, but after binding like 10 books that are just sitting in my cupboards I decided to instead try and restore old books of my grandparents💕

[@amu-chan_B.7435]

That's so cool ! These people are so talented ! ^V^

[@Max_Le_Groom]

So versatile.

[@irisfilmproductions]

WheRE IS EVERYONE FINDING CHEAP LEATHER TO MAKE BOOKS OUT OF

[@kammavonwowern99]

Why are you so underrated u deserve much more attention!❤❤❤😚

[@squanchy8798]

wait i just used a thick needle snd thread and sewed the papers together and to hold it together kinda like pins while sewing it closed i used a glue stick for the top-

[@asobimo5532]

I made my first book and gifted it to my friend. I JUST HATE HOW PAGES ARE UNEVEN! It hard to cut the paper to be pđrecise when you are using a box cutter/scalpel. I really need to buy those nice big paper cutters with grids

[@FeralJester]

brUH lemme know if any of these people ever open paid commissions I'd love for the first printed copy of my fiction book to be hardcover, and I'd be supporting an artist so they can continue doing this absolute witchcraft like bro how they do this? with such simple materials? am shook

[@abfarrow3596]

I plan on recreating a book from a show. This is amazing..

[@oishisjournal8184]

What is this pressing tool used for making patterns in the cover? The one that lizard used?

[@twiggyjali]

it's called a bone folder. arts & crafts stores usually sell them.

[@the_introverted_otaku21]

I think you’re looking for leather stamps?

[@bonecag3]

thanks! Time to hyperfixate and boil in my unending desire to do this even though I can’t bc I don’t have the supplies or space required

[@skylerjayy9956]

You don’t need that much space and you can always try suuuuuper simple book binds like perfect binding to start. I used bulldog clips, glue, paper, Stanley knife and my coffee table lol

[@icamxxx5723]

Okay so your telling me that instead of figuring out what page number goes with which for each page to create a book layout, taking days + hours figuring it out and still messing up a little that there is an APP THAT DOES THIS FOR YOU ?!?! 😃🔫

5:02 What does uploading fanfic have to do with book binding?

[@toffeebiscuits]

i think they mean uploading it to a publishing service's website to get it printed? the legality of fanfic is tricky and in order to be safe, youre not supposed to make a profit from it - paying for a service like that would mean they would get the money from it. (they're also mentioning it in the first place because bookbinding tiktok is drowning (/lh) in people doing fanfic bindings- especially harry potter lmao)

[@deaththekat5499]

@@toffeebiscuits so can I print out a book and bind it as long as I don’t intend to sell it? Cause I have several Chinese translations I’d love to have as physical books but can’t find any in English unless it’s in pdf form.

[@toffeebiscuits]

@@deaththekat5499 theoretically, yes! i'm not versed in copyright so take this with a grain of salt, but generally if its only for personal use you'll be fine :]

[@lupajupiter5605]

@@deaththekat5499 You can definitely print out a book and bind it for personal use. It would only be bad if you intend to sell it

[@aditiasangi]

1:00 is the song name mikrokosmos?

[@LS-oc2oc]

yep, it's by BTS.

[@annakatelyn4053]

does anybody know the name of the material they use to make hardcovers?

[@katarinarose3379]

I think it's wooden fiber board but I'm not sure so don't blame me if it's wrong lol

[@twiggyjali]

chipboard is the stuff that looks wooden, but using cardstock for the spine is better, more flexible

[@bonsai-is-a-lie]

wait what’s a “signature” in book binding??

[@celestialedits9339]

Basically they're the pages

[@bonsai-is-a-lie]

@@celestialedits9339 thx!

[@ThunderStruck15]

A signature is a collection of pages usually folded together and stitched. Most are 5-7 pages thick. You stitch those together to make a book.

[@parkjiminismylight6441]

1:04 isn't that Mikrokosmos from BTS?

[@shakira7301]

Yes

[@verybarebones]

Publishing fanfic isn't illegal tho

[@ThunderStruck15]

It is. Mostly they don’t prosecute it, though.
