Thank you so much for this video! I had never done anything in the way of crafts so I really appreciated how clear the instructions were, and that they were printed on the screen instead of spoken. The book turned out great, even for a complete novice.

What a beautiful book. And this way of doing it is different than any other I have seen. I'm trying this one for sure. Thank you

Love this video. I recently made a box to display a 1/12 scale room (library). The box was pretty rough looking so - experimenting - I covered it (glued) with scrunched up aluminium foil and painted it. Looked very similar to your faux leather. Can't wait to try your version. Thank you🙂

This looked great. I was searching to make a cover for soft back book, I’m wondering if I could use this? Many the cover would warp? It’s a great video, sparks off ideas. Thanks for posting 💛
