Many thanks!🥰 I used HTV, heat transfer vinyl

Thank you so so much! ❤️

Ciao, grazie mille! I font li cerco su dafont.com mentre le immagini su pinterest e di solito prima di inserirle su cricut design space ne rimuovo lo sfondo (sempre su un sito, io uso www.remove.bg/it ) in modo che il taglio venga il più preciso possibile. Per quanto riguarda il vinile io adesso preferisco quello termico, dopo averlo provato non lo lascio più! Spero di esserti stata utile! Grazie per il commento e buona rilegatura 😄

@@tesswoodall6545 thanks! I used acrylic paints, and in this case, I added a powdered gold pigment :)

I think the iron-on is the best, it blends perfectly with the material and you can hardly feel it. Once I tried it, it became my favorite!

@ thank you!

It's permanent vinyl :)

@ Does it say permanent on the packaging?

@@j05h94 yep!

@@havangardo thank you! 🥰 I use pics from the internet, mostly on Pinterest

@@ByAnnieBasson Keep going! You might want to try using thicker cardstock or even proper binding board. I personally use ones that are 1.5 mm thick with a weight of 945 g/m², and since I discovered them, I haven’t looked back-they’re incredibly sturdy! If you glue them and let them dry for 24 hours in a press or under heavy weights, they won’t bend at all. With practice, I’m sure you’ll achieve even better results over time. 😄 By the way, I’ve also tried hand-sewing notebooks, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with the results. I ended up setting it aside to focus more on making book covers. Still, I’d love to pick it up again and improve! I completely agree-they would make amazing gifts!

@BookishDIYChronicles thank you so much!!!! Do you just use normal PVA glue?? Because there's so many glues and it's overwhelming 😂😂😂😂

@@ByAnnieBasson I totally get you! I've tried a lot of different ones, and now my favorite is a quick-drying PVA glue for wood 😂

I wasn’t a fan, and I liked the silver dust jacket even less. But I guess it’s all about personal preference :)

Thank you! I'm happy you like it ❤️

Thank you so much! 🥰

Sorry, I don't know who he is 😅

You're welcome! 🥰

When I started bookbinding, I mostly used recycled materials :)

@@BookishDIYChronicles and how is it after some time? Is it durable enough?

Yes, it is. I'm very satisfied with that cover because the cardboard was very thick, and even after a year, it has remained sturdy. On the other hand, other covers I made with thinner cardboard have warped a little. I plan to remake those with better materials eventually 😄

Thanks!!! ❤️

Thank you!

Thanks! It's a non-branded vinyl, but despite that, it’s of great quality and works really well. I purchased it on Temu

Thank you! I use a sponge to apply the paint, and it works great for solid colors, decorative effects, or even blending shades. Personally, I prefer it, it’s super easy to use and gives great results. Another good option might be a flat brush with soft bristles for a smooth, even finish :)

@@BookishDIYChronicles I really appreciate it!

Yep

@@FarheenSiddiqui-q3i removable vinyl

@BookishDIYChronicles could u plz share the link

amzn.eu/d/15gv0Ju or I also use smart stencil amzn.eu/d/8oq7VAk :)

Thank you so much! 🥰

It’s a small spatula used to make the vinyl stick properly :)

Thanks! I looked for an image as clear as possible on internet and printed it at home 😄

@ was it regular paper? Or cardstock? I am about to try my first book and want all the information I can get 🤣

I use 205 gsm a4 paper, it works well for me. Go for it! 💪🏻😄

Yes, I absolutely can. I'll try to do it as soon as possible. Thanks for asking me! 😊

@ thankuu☺️

Ciao, grazie mille per il bellissimo commento 😍 sono felice che ti piaccia! La rilegatura è un hobby impegnativo ma molto soddisfacente, io ho iniziato poco più di un anno fa, ancora faccio tanti errori ma per fortuna riesco anche a risolverli (la maggior parte delle volte). Tu da quanto sei appassionata? 😄

Thank you!! ❤🥰

Thank you! I bought it on temu, but it can also be found on amazon :)

Not at the moment, do you think I should start taking commissions? ☺️

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for your comment! 🥰 Not leaving 1 cm of space without glue shouldn't cause significant issues unless the cover is extremely rigid. If flexible materials are used, the book should still be easy to read. That said, this cover isn’t very practical due to how I decorated it. Every time I open it, it sheds particles. For this reason, I think I’ll redo it someday 😂

Thank you!!

It depends on the size of the book. I usually add 1,5 cm or 2 cm to each side :)

@ Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comment! 🥰 It truly means a lot to know I’ve inspired someone to start creating their own book covers! I’m still learning too, experimenting, making mistakes, but the process is incredibly fun. So, dive in, get creative, and enjoy every step of the journey. The results will always be rewarding because they’ll be uniquely yours. ✨❤️

I bought it on temu, but it can also be found on amazon. It's adhesive fabric for forniture repairs :)

@ thanks!

Cricut Joy, it's a cutting machine :)

Thanks!

Thank you for watching and for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

If that scares you, then you could place the book on top of the endpapers, trace the edge with a pencil and cut them out before gluing them on :)

I only add a few mm to the height of the boards :)

@BookishDIYChronicles Nothing added to the width then? Thanks for replying. I'm going to use your canvas method to do my first book cover. I'm hoping to assemble it all and then use spray paint to make the canvas/cover dark blue. Would that work do you think?

Correct! I think it will work, I've spray painted some covers myself, and they turned out well. Let me know how it goes and best of luck with your project! ☺️

It's faux adhesive leather, which is very sticky but also practical. I bought it on Temu, but you can also find it on other sites, like Amazon. As for your second question, it is possible to remove some pages, but, as happened to me a few times, others might come loose as well. In those cases, I was able to reattach them with glue. Just be careful, and you’ll see that it will turn out great! :)

Fake leather :)

@ where did you get this kind that has adhesive on the back?

@@j05h94 Temu or Amazon, you can find it easily by typing "adhesive fake leather"

Thanks! In this video I hadn't added the endpapers yet, that was still the old paperback cover :)

​@@BookishDIYChronicles Sorry, I just realized I made a mistake. This book is amazing! But what I want to ask is, did you print the pattern on the backing paper of Howl's Moving Castle? Thank you.😊😂

No problem 😂 thank you and yes, I printed it myself 😊

THANKS!​I didn't expect that a photocopier can also print thick paper cards😂😊@@BookishDIYChronicles

@@elaine7698 I used 205gsm A4 paper, it’s not much thicker than regular paper, just slightly heavier than cardstock. Not a professional print, but it works pretty well 😄

I bought it :) maybe I can make a video where I show all the materials I use for book clothing, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! Now that I've become more familiar with the htv I prefer it only because to the touch it almost doesn't feel on the cover

Hi! Thank you for your questions! There are various types of vinyl, so it really depends on which one you choose. Generally, you don’t need glue, as most vinyls are either adhesive or can be applied with heat. In this video, I used permanent vinyl, which is highly resistant to both UV rays and water, and it's guaranteed to last at least 3 years. However, since it's applied to the cover of a book and kept indoors, I believe it may last even longer. Additionally, it's easy to apply with the help of transfer tape. Even better is the heat transfer vinyl (HTV), which adheres much more strongly to the cover. If you're curious to see how it works, I used it in my recent videos. You’ll need a mini press for this method, and the application is a bit more challenging, but if you're patient, the results are truly satisfying! I hope I was helpful, and if you have any other questions, let me know! 🥰
