Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I have a book event that I’ll be an author at next September and I plan on doing this to my hardcovers and selling them.

What a super cute project! Love the idea of stenciling the page edges of the journals I make. And speaking of cute, Gus is adorable!!!!

Oh my, your house in the forest is an absolute dream come true!! That took me by surprise, I was so engaged in following you along the process. 😄 So I just had to comment! Thank you for showing the whole process, I started edge painting books but it's so time consuming and I think I'll soon purchase a Cricut. Your video was very helpful

I'm glad you found it helpful! I still have to pinch myself sometimes when I think living in this house is just a dream!!

My daughter want to paint the edges of the twilight books. Thank you so much for this. I’m so excited to show her so we can attempt it.

Wow, hoping to try something like this with customizing Bibles soon! Like gauffering, but with paint or archival inks

Love the idea and love the series! I have them on audiobook and have listened to them multiple times.

Same! I do mostly audiobooks which is how I get through 100+ per year. But of course I still like to have hardcopies of my favorites!

This is what I’m going to do to the books I write too. Cheaper than a printing service for sure!

I love this tutorial! Thank you! Have you tried Cricuts stencil vinyl for this?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 6 ай бұрын

I have not, but I bet it would work! Glad you liked the tutorial!

@misamaivalentine 2 ай бұрын

I love this tutorial so much! Have you ever tried this with multiple paint colors? For example, spraying the edges solid purple, laying the vinyl on top of that, and then spraying them again with solid black to create a multi-layer colored effect? I have several books I would like to do this to, but wanted to get some input before trying it out with layers.

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 2 ай бұрын

I have not. I've seen some people use small airbrushes to get a multi color look. I think what you're describing would also work and look really cool!

Those turned out great! Is there any lingering spray paint smells? Also those binding fabric on the spines are called headbands. :)

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 7 күн бұрын

headbands! I love it. And no, I didn't notice any lingering smells! :)

If your clamps have a deep enough throat, put them on from the back, so they are not in your way. :)

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 7 ай бұрын

Mine didn't clamp as well from the back because they weren't quite deep enough! I needed the larger clamps, ha!

Are these normal spray paints? Or is there’s some special paints for books? I really want to try this but afraid I’d destroy them 🥺

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 16 күн бұрын

These are normal spray paints! Just do LIGHT coats so that it doesn't gloop on there and get too crunchy :)

This is amazing. I wonder if washi tape would be a good alternative to painters tape in a pinch?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 3 ай бұрын

I bet it could! You want to be sure it's not too sticky or not sticky enough, though!

@daniellehopeabrom3872 20 күн бұрын

do you have a video instructing how you made the stencils?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 13 күн бұрын

I don't, but I basically repeated the pattern and then put it in a rectangle the same size as my pages. I should do a full tutorial, though! Thanks for the suggestion.

@lilibethramirez2756 6 ай бұрын

my thing tho that i have a problem with is creating and sizing it to the book. I want to create my own designs so that i can add it to my favorite books, and then size them. how do I create the designs?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 6 ай бұрын

I make my designs in Adobe Illustrator (see my free series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn-ul6NnqLaIe8k). I measure the size of the book when it's closed and make my design that size. You could also do it in Cricut Design Space or InkScape or another program.

Have you ever used the gold metallic spray? I've heard it's doesn't stay on the edges very well.

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 6 ай бұрын

I haven't! That's good to know. Sometimes metallic paint can be more flaky than regular colors.

I couldn’t make it two minutes (literally) into this video because of the incessant uptalk. For god sakes just talk normal, or take a speech class to learn how to talk so listeners are engaged. I’ll watch someone else do this to learn.
