How to Make a Magic Spellbook -Corded Binding-Sewn in Head/tail Bands-(P)leather Bound- ~Halloweek~

[@fjolliff6308]

Another thing to do for more realism/authenticity, place herbs and small flowers between some of the pages. Weeds are fine since they are actually herbs that nobody uses anymore.

"your colorful paper, I used black..."

[@ruth540]

*sees a DIY book video* and to think I wasn't going to make my own BOS

[@noniefuss]

That moment when your prop book is cooler than my actual grimoire LOL I love the attention to detail you put into this book!!!! (I'd also totally love a separate video for the headband design and construction since it was a touch hard to see) You did a GREAT job on this!! xxoo

[@angelbryan2547]

Her spellbook puts all 12 of my grimoires to shame 😂😂😂

[@crimsonthemumchrysallia6433]

hahaha i feel this too.. 😸😹

[@maddrawer8497]

Such a big mood ;;

[@geministargazer9830]

There’s a bunch of bookbinding videos out there, you could check them out if you were wanting to make your own

[@czostrineklein6986]

I’m using this to make mine😂😂😂

[@ElliLovett]

thank you so much that's exactly what i looked for ...not a tutorial where you destroy an existing book and cover it with random decor, but an actual book tutorial ^^

[@Crosshill]

its some good inspiration, for example how to ad hog those chord supports. im pretty tempted now to screw in some hooks to the underside of this ladder in my room, and work underneath it. those chord bumps on the spine just look so good for a thick book, and if its thick, you naturally want a handsown headband

[@tammyt3434]

I've seen a few book making videos, this is the first one that explained what the head and tail bands were for. Thanks!

[@wesjordan1908]

Great project. I've done a book similar to this for a friend. One note if you want the cords to be a little more defined and you're using veg tanned leather you can place the book in your clamps/jig and dampen ghe leather going over your spine. And use some extra coding to keep pressure on the spine while it dries. Also the embossing looks great on here. If never thought of using poly fill to help press in the embossing.

[@colemyst]

I just watched this again and remembered how much I want to finish making my Halloween spell book. I started mine with full size 8.5x11 inch paper and have to figure out how to finish it. Very helpful by the way.

[@Moth_Maiden_Meggie]

Using coffee works well too for dying your pages, also adds a grimy element if desired if you dry them with some of the grounds on the sheets. Also baking the sheets in the oven on a flat pan until they rise off the pan makes them look older.

[@kebi7792]

That's not gibberish, that's freaking Rovás - Old Hungarian alphabet. And the text is legible Latin! I deciphered "N(y)unc facilisis in erat a ultrices" at some point. Incredible work tho! ------ Edit: Okay, after some further analysis I can confirm it's Latin, and the writings are both in Rovás and mirrored Old Latin (Old Italic) scripts. One "spell" I managed to read: ULTRIPES TURPIS *orbi sodales imperdiet dui pellentesque Auctor aliquam pretium leo vitae erat viverra mollis. Nulla facilisi, [szed] sed luctus purus. Anyone speaking Latin here?

[@chezlin]

Oh snap! I had no idea! That's really cool, I wish I knew it was a real alphabet when I made this stuff- it would have been fun to try to make the words make sense. Or as much sense as I could do, not knowing how to speak Hungarian... 😅 Thanks for letting me know!!

[@valkyrie_skyborn8507]

I knew that it was an actual language, but i thought it was an adaptation of Elder Futhark. Any how, good investigative work on your part. : )

[@Crosshill]

latin students should group up and have fun using that dead language. legit latin is cool as shit, even if its only in sentimental value. having a song or a spellbook and knowing it makes actual sense is just neat

[@minusmimik8622]

it says some weird stuff about a lion and mourning chilli according too Google translate.

[@williamholloway1408]

I thought it was toleikns dwarvish

[@NirvanaForeverOhYeah]

This rocks! I love how you go above and beyond to show us a glimpse at traditional book binding. Keep it up!!

[@kookycoco7865]

i think that is the best diy witch spell book ever

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

Very nice and detailed. I think I'll use a little sandpaper & shoe polish to age it some. Thank you for sharing

[@Anaentrelinhas]

This is the best tutorial on book binding I've ever watched!! You are amazing, all the details, the design, everything! It's exactly what I've been looking for

[@marsofthecosmosbird4775]

if you want to add age to the raised design take some darke shoe polish and rub it over, not sure how well this works but it could work amazingly

[@martialartsnerd1246]

Marsofthecosmos Bird Darke?

[@fayerinart1198]

I started following you because of your art was very creative and inspiring but i must saw your crafts are equal good! I love them so keep your lovely work!

You did a nice job on the book. Suggestion, on the ends of the book spine, the white thread. How about tea or a light brown wood stain something you can put on the white thread and wipe off leaving a dingy brown, yellowed look making the stark white thread that you can see look yellowed, dingy and old. Sanding spots and using some of the same stain you can distress and age the leather as well. Nice Job!

[@Angelologies333]

I thought the tea in the list was just for laughs, but I was surprised when you actually used it for the spell book

[@Cassiterit3]

Love the tutorial, and I will be coming back to it often. Gotta say, though, that when you are teaching a specific stitch like the head and tail stitch, that putting jump cuts in your editing makes it extremely hard to follow what you are doing.

[@monatousley3889]

If you really need this i can help you i know offa real spells caster magic man that can help you because he's one's who helped me if you wanna get in touch with the spells caster text or call him directly or you message him on WhatsApp [phone] He also teach how to cast spell

[@firebow2810]

I just made this, it was so much fun to make! I actually find cording a lot easier that normal stitching

[@Gynwaith]

Easiest like I've ever given a video in my life. This is so awesome!

[@lucasyoungers]

Okay, this is epic. I had a spare bit of parchment, and wanted to make a spell book for my d&d warlock. I was just going to do something simple with a hole punch and some string, but I decided to take this project on. The cording was the hardest but, but I'm past that now, and am about to apply the leather cover. Great tutorial, I subscribed, and wish me luck!

[@mollykate422]

i usually never do diy's but im really contemplating doing this omg

[@AliciaCraft]

I've been making notebooks for a while now, but this is a REALLY cool tutorial for the extra stuff. Really goes above and beyond. I'll be incorporating some of these techniques myself, especially sewing the head/tail-bands. I'd also like to know how to prepare book pages for printing- the formatting and such. Maybe I'll research that next, unless someone already has a tutorial they could point me towards.

[@anelguerrero801]

it might be a lot of work, but the out come is awesome and it's not too hard if you really like crafts. I will be trying your regular diy book tutorial.

[@Mourning.Moof3r]

I love how much time you put into your projects and you really try your hardest to make it the best! I think you're so talented that it's a crime you don't have more subscribers because you are such an inspiration

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Thought this was excellent. Would love a slowe bit about the sewing with the cord I got well confused. Great book😀

[@MisKandi]

Wow! Awesome book. The instructions you give are kind of hard to follow but I’m really impressed with all the effort put in the authenticity of your book. Well done!

[@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032]

[@ASMRArtofSound]

You're incredibly creative! I'm like wooow girl... You're a master! 😱😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thecrimsonfairy3526]

Hi was wondering on how you made the pages for the spell book as I'm planing to make a fictional field journal book of my own (as those books are really hard to find but really fun to read) with your similar technique on printing it out as it will be easier then hand writing it all. thank you and awesome video it really helped me out.

[@EDH-kp6xi]

I loved this tutorial and will now hungrily view your playlist for any more gems like this - great work !

[@nupurlal_abhijaysingh8609]

This is soo detailed...i never knew that traditional book binding has soo many steps!!..Also lipstick looks cool ;)

[@username4391]

sorry if no one cares but i have the same white pen as in 6:30 i love your vides and im totaly gonna do this too

[@motherpops]

I clicked on your video without realising because I was talking to my daughter. I'm glad I did I just couldn't stop watching. I really love the details. I couldn't follow the raised top bit though as you went really quick. do you have another video where you do it?

[@Manifestwit]

Very lovely! I am going to be following this video when i work on my books of shadows, im a wiccan myself and this tutorial was helpful

[@karah8613]

This is super late, but last Halloween I made this book and a shrunken head from your other video. They were both HUGE hits with all my guests! Thanks for the awesome tutorials :D

[@Leafveins]

Dude, seriously so good. Like WTF this is so cool. And for next year, keep on doing the props and decor ideas, I really like those. Doesn't necessarily need a theme. I can't wait to see what you're gonna make for the rest of the week :)

[@aliciap.f.7390]

That is soooo cool omg!! One tip: instead of using so many tea bags you can also use some spoons of coffe 😊

[@gabriellemazdurr329]

This is seriously impressive. I am really happy I stumbled across this video! LOVE

[@michaelph0ne]

Thanks for explaining the cording!!! I watched another video which didn't have great instructions so this really helped!! Also it looks wonderful!

[@frangish9579]

I loved today's video. I love thinking about Halloween decorations!

[@magdalenejeanne]

Why am I already ready for Halloween

[@Twilight.Knight]

Don't worry your not alone 😂

[@secretwitch7342]

Thank you for the pages. That’s actually runic. The language on the paper. It’s the old Nordic/ Anglo Saxon tunic script. The Vikings used that language. I’m going to see if I can translate it because I know that alphabet really well if I wind up translating it I’ll post what I’ve done in a message. Thanks for the video I love binding books. I made a book of shadows a little while ago and am thinking of making another one. I haven’t done it with the cording so that will be really fun to try. I also do belegarth and the sca which is midevil re-enactment with sword fighting so this will be a fun flurby prop.

[@claudinecandaes2236]

This is excellent! I love the detail you went through. Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea how much time it took you (minus the pressing/drying)? Thanks for all your great art and craft videos. You are very talented!

That's an amazing tutorial, although I checked and in case anyone is interested I'm pretty sure that the pages are written in Dwarf, also known as Angerthas.

Yes. The parchment used 200 years ago was made from animal skins and made into paper through a long arduous process. That is why it was so expensive at the time.
