I never got into book binding because I used to think that it was boring but holy shit that looks fun. I love the entire process

[@boobs3204]

I mean, if i could skip or speed up all boring and long parts with a power of a montage in real life, i would be in bookbinding too.

[@OliverOnic]

It looks fun at the end but so painful in the making not gonna lie I would love to do this but I feel like its too hard for me

honestly last year i really loved watching nerdforge's book binds, and now that you're doing bookbinds of mcyt related books, it's like combining both my obsessions into one! i really love! don't be too hard on yourself, this turned out amazing! i'm deffo gonna try to make something similar (cz u've inspired me), and i hope it turns out as good as yours

your Ranboo book video is actually what inspired me to take up bookbinding! I've finsihed about 8 journals since then and am working on aging paper for a 9th as im watch this :D

[@marissacarrillo9589]

I really love how this turned out! a suggestion for ur next project could be Captain Puffy's captains log / journal she keeps

[@DudaBear]

Wwwoooowwwww This diary you made of Karl was really cool! ✨✨ He needs to see this! ✨✨

[@sollylolly731]

I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED MAKING MINE BASED OFF YOUR RANBOO BOOK AHHHHHHHHH

[@bonitessinorademichaornou807]

This is awesome. I bet if Karl knew, he would like to see your book. It wasn't professional, yeah, but I think that this added more life to the book. Like, did you really think that Karl from TOTsmp bought this book? No, he probably maked it himself, even though he's not that good at it. Good luck with new projects. Hoping for The Revaival Book (and yeah sorry for my bad english)

[@meowmeowdefnotafurry]

That’s what i say with my lmanburg flag, like, it’s supposed to be messy the idea is that Tommy painted it, do you think they bought nonexistent flags? Nah bro they made them

and its better she used faux leather

[@maaraxmina_7932]

This video was very helpful for me! I’ve been planning on cosplaying Karl so it was definitely a big help, and the Ranboo memory book was also incredibly helpful since I am a Ranboo kin and I tend to cosplay him when I’m bored.

[@ericajenna]

is there really such thing as a book binding class in college?? it sounds so fun and I’m very interested in it!

[@aphel2275]

I took a class like that in uni this past spring actually. It was labeled as Publication, and it covered book contents, book design, and book binding. And I can assure you Yes. Book binding a hard cover book is as fun as it looks here.

@@aphel2275 sheeesh!

[@jadespaceoracle]

Me buying materials: So how much glue would I need for this project? YES

[@Vorocard]

altenative title : Jess Less talked about how glue is very useful when it come to bookbinding btw the book came out amazing! hopefully u do more in the future with video like this its really relaxing to look at ngl and can u also do the dream reviving book?the book dream use for reviving tommy and wilbur it would be amazing to see how your design going turn out!

[@confidentmiscommunication3297]

This is poggers!! You’re so relatable and funny, it’s so easy to follow your instructions. Honestly you’re like a friend I’ve always wanted but never have.

[@basilgum]

this was so cute, i'm off to watch your ranboo book right away! i've always loved bookbinding and i appreciate how honest you are about it. like 'this took four hours' and 'yeah i just glued it on'. it just shows how you can make something sick even if you don't really know what you're doing. plus, i think the 'mistakes' like the faux leather, corner decorations being too small, the tea stain logo, etc... add a lot of character. it feels like karl made this book using all kinds of different materials throughout his journeys, and just ahh nice job! i know i'm only one person but you got a sub from me :D

[@_lau_99]

CONGRATS ON 10K!!!! I've always been interested in bookbinding and your tutorials explain stuff that "professionals" take for granted (and it's so comforting to see parts you also struggle with because i feel less alone hahah) so thank you! Definitely gonn try this one or ranboo's for cosplay! 🌺

[@strawberryjelly8442]

THIS book Looks amazing great work

[@birdgirl0073]

Nice job! Despite all the glue, it looks fantastic!

You know what let's make every journal or book existent in the dsmp, no cap I love this

[@chomkyman1228]

i dont usually leave comments but this was done so masterfully i couldnt resist! the amount of work you put into this is amazing and it looks so freaking cool!! i know you had your problems with the cover, but it honestly looks good and i think it adds a nice worn effect to the whole thing. also, i love how you added the tales of the smp details into it. i genuinely thought you’d just leave the inside blank because the whole book was so much work. you’re a really determined person and your attention to detail is stunning!! cant way to see what other stuff you post :D

[@christinaxanthopoulou1866]

I saw you on tiktok and after that i new you would make this video, by the way you are really talented

Can we just appreciate how much PATIENCE this girl has! If it was me I would give up the first ten seconds after realizing I don’t have paper

[@holyheckincow]

AMAZINGLY AMAZING! I think you could do technos will or maybe the prison forms

[@Brenilla]

Really epic. The main difference (in terms of use) from fake to real leather is that real leather is stretchy where as fake leather dosnt (very well) Also getting leather scraps from a factory is a good way to get some. It will smell like factory though XD

[@infiniti3e473]

That was a very smart play to age the pages with tea 👏👏👏

[@blueblade6174]

This is really cool! Imagine Fire Emblem tomes made like this. I'd absolutely love that!

[@exomadi1262]

Hello! I have never done bookbinding before and you have inspired me to try it! I love Ranboo and Karl's books, I think they look amazing! Also, I don't know if this was said in the comments already, but you said folding the material on the outside of the book was difficult to do around the spine. I remember in your Ranboo bookbinding you wrapped the outside of the book first before putting the pages in and I think that might help you feel more satisfied with the end result. But it look's amazing either way you do it!!

[@LocalLolbiit]

Honestly, it looks fricken awesome. I would never be able to do something as amazing as that.

[@dungeon_mast3r208]

Ahhhhhh I love this soooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuch

[@by-iris3680]

So for folding the excess leather let’s use the top edge down (and the bind on the left) example (for folding onto the cover that is).. you should probably cut a tiny slit up (opposite to the way you’re folding )with scissors where a major bumpy fold would be because that’s where the fabric is curving the most! I hope this tip helps I’m not sure if I’ve done this from sowing or covering things in fabric but I’m sure you can look it up! Have a good day and great work💛✨

[@idkman3751]

The fact i have most of these things you need to make this is making me so happy. BUT GUESS WHAT? IM ON VACATION FOR 4 MORE WEEKS UGH

[@goldenkingyo]

This is absolutely amazing!! You did such a good job and even if it does have minor imperfections, it gives it even more detail like a real adventurers/time traveler’s book!!

[@aphel2275]

Tip for painting stencils: paint the back ground/base colour first and let it dry completely before painting with the colour(s) you actually want the stencil piece to have. The base layer of paint will act almost like a seal to block any gaps or imperfections where the stencil is against the base material. That way when youve got it painted how you want it to be and you remove the stencil you should have crisp clean lines. You don’t need a whole lot of paint for the base colour layer, just a really quick thin layer is enough to do the job. A thick layer of the base paint and the final paint will cause raised areas after the stencil is gone, and those will be liable to chip off and get damaged a lot easier than thin layers would. Hopefully that helps in your next stencil project and hopefully it’ll save you some time as well!
