PLEASE show your design process for the cover/spine art it’s the only place I’m hitting a creative wall
may i interest you in some cute patterns be it flowers or dragons perhaps or you can do some realy fancy classy spines like old age books im also a fan of little landscapes such as flower fields or a lake come starry night or cute cats basking in the sun!!
Ugh I love it so much!! I’ve been going down the rebinding rabbit hole and trying to convince myself that I don’t need another hobby 😅😂
Literally same
Do it! I’ve been having a blast trying it out. I’ve been really happy with the results. A bit of start up costs, but I got quite a bit off Temu (which helps). Don’t cheap out on the chipboard, bookcloth or vinyl though.
Please look up ugh in a dictionary, it's an expression of disgust! 'Ooh' would be more appropriate 😊
Book binding is a great hobby, go down the rabbit hole and have fun.
This is literally me right now 😂 only reason I’ve held out is because I don’t have a cricut/cutting machine to do the cover designs
I tried that too.....well, I lost 😅😅
I’ve watched so many bookbinding diy videos in the past month to get ready for my first fanfic bind and this is one of the absolute best and most thorough and easy to follow tutorials. Thank you for that! I can’t wait to watch your other videos!
I agree! This is the best video Ive seen so far!
would love to see a video showing how you designed the cover/spine art, and discuss your cutting machine and why you chose that one.
and like others, our videos have been some of the best i’ve found. thank you so much!
I went to find the video on how you make your custom vinyls with the cricket and just realized you're a brand new channel. THIS IS SO CRAZY HELPFUL!!! I'm currently trying to learn news ways to continue this hobby and your videos have been insanely helpful. You give really good explanations for your process and make it really easy to follow along. I would LOVE to see a video of how you come up with/produce the custom vinyls and I've already hit the bell to be notified when you drop it. Thank you so much for making these videos, I hope you continue to grow your channel and continue releasing!!
This series was beyond helpful for my friend and I during our girls' weekend! So informative and easy to follow. We both made two books with many many plans to make more! And I also had the honor of the author of one of the books I rebound actually reposting it on her Instagram (forever gonna fangirl about it)
This rebind is so beautiful and filled with personality! It’s amazing!
The heat transfer vinyl came out so nicely. Wonderful results, thank you for this!
I’m just starting my book binding journey and your videos were so easily to follow along with and has made me so excited to get started!!! 😍😍😍
The measurements are so helpful, thank you!!
This is very beautiful and I love that you show everything real time. Thank you!
Thank you! The measurements help so much. I have scrapped too many boards - spine *plus* chipboard makes so much sense!
Beautiful work! You make it look so easy! Love it!
This video was so helpful, thank you so much for sharing. The cover turned out beautiful too!
Thank you for posting tutorials! I’ve been wanting to learn but classes are expensive so it’s nice to have this as a resource! 💖
Thank you, it is so helpful to see the process step by step with explanations!!
How clever. What a creative outlet.
This was very helpful, thanks for making this!
Love love love. It’s so helpful seeing things in real time and talking through the fixes for any issues! Thank you!! 🫶🏼
At least one thing goes wrong every time so hopefully you can learn from my mistakes 😅
I love the look of the hardcover and how it turned out. So pretty,
Love your guides, super helpful for getting into the hobby!
I love this. Thank you for making this tutorial. ❤
Just rebound my first ever book watching your tutorials - thank you so much!!❤
Your videos are so helpful! I'm looking forward to seeing how you design your covers since I also have a Silhouette machine. I'm currently designing a cover for a rebind but I'm having a hard time figuring out the right size for lines and borders. It'll be super helpful to see how someone else does it. Thanks for all these videos and your tips!
Thank you for sharing ! Love someone who is not trying to gatekeep their craft but instead takes pleasure in sharing and making sure other people will give it a go ❤
This is such a thoughtful comment 🥹
Great video! I love how it's in real time and you explain all the steps. I'm really new at this hobby and find this very useful! Keep up the great work!
I've never seen heat transfer vinyl! That's amazing! My wife has all the cricut stuff! This is a game changer!
This is amazing!!! I'm so excited to try rebinding a book! Thank you :)
Very cool and useful, thank you! I'd be very interested to see more about how you designed and cut the cover designs. I've just found a cricut at a library in my city I can use (after making a number of books without titles on them) and I'm kinda nervous about that whole process, but will be attempting to try it out soon!
Absolutely beautiful and fantastic explanations !
Super job showing this process! Clear, concise, and thorough! I tried watching someone else's video and they made it seem so complicated that I stopped watching and just gave up, really.
This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been after as I know I want to take the plunge and have a go but really wasn’t confident on how to start.
this is absolutely stunning ❤
I love your work!! I have been following you and everything you do is amazing!!
Absolutely gorgeous ✨ looks so regal
Soooo beautiful!!!
Thank you so much for these videos!! Finally someone who shows everything!! 💞💞
This is the tutorial I wish I had when I was starting
Beautifully explained. A much better finish than the junk journal book binding I have watched. I am a Harry Potter fan so would love the prize.
I'm so happy I came across your CZcams account. I love your work
I would love to rebind so many of my books 😂 I love this so much!
This is so stunning 😍 I will admit that I am commenting for a chance to get the book, but I truly love your work and think you are so talented. Thank you for sharing your work!
Thank you so much❤ It's very helpful😊
Came across this accidentally, and loved it. Thank you. Have liked and subscribed.
very cool process!
So helpful!❤
I’m considering book binding for the sole purpose of rebinding HP 😅 Will be referring to these videos when I finally cave!
Found you from IG and your giveaway! I love these binding videos! In awe of your talent!
I just came across your channel. I love learning new skills and your presentation made this a pleasant learning process! I am now a subscriber and looking forward to exploring your channel. Thank you for your time.
Stunning 😍 I'd love to give this ago ❤
This is awesome 😍
Love this!
Thank you for sharing! Every time I see your books, I want to rebind all of mine 😂
I just discovered your channel. This is amazing!❤
I need to learn how to do this!!!
Love it so much ❤
Very nice!
problem is not all chip board is cut straight by the manufacture so you have to cut in the middle to get good sides and edges. lol
Thank you for the thorough tutorial. I love the flying keys in your design. Do you have a materials list? I would like to see what you use and where to find it. Thanks for the inspiration too!
So pretty! 🤩
Love this 💜
@aboundbindery I really love the new covers of the Harry Potter books you have made in this video. Unfortunately I can’t buy the books from you due to that I work in a place for people with various disabilities and I do not earn money on my work. I do love Harry Potter. 😊
Love this video and your beautiful work! May I ask where you got your book board?
Thank you for this amazing real-time tutorial. Quick question: would the steps be the same for a leather cover instead of this type of paper?
Thankyou, thankyou. Best explanation. My books pull apart from the spine. Am I not leaving enough room between covers and spine?
This video is insanely helpful! I am struggling with adjusting the measurements to the t-spacer I currently have which is only 5mm as I admittedly did not do a lot of research before I started buying tools... Do you have any suggestions on the width adjustments I could make to maintain about 3mm overhang with zero to minimal trimming?
Ask i can say is
Holy WOW!!!
Seems a bit difficult, but not impossible. It looks very pretty! 🥰
Out of curiosity have you considered permanent adhesive vinyl instead of HTV if remelting the glue is a concern?
If you’re binding a really thick book do you recommend making the hinges bigger?
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been wanting to learn to bind for a while now so I’m really excited for this!
Do you will teach how you do the HTV designers?
I'd really love to know how long the vinyl lasts. Does it peel off in time?
What would you suggest using if you just want an easy, less expensive way to gold foil?
What printer do you use and what website for the designs?
The measurement are so helpfull! What i didnt get though was that the board was 1.8 mm thick, so why do you need to add 3mm to the spine? I didnt get how it went from 1.8 to 3 mm
You need to do 1.8 twice, since you have a board on each side. That adds to 3.6 mm and she decided to round it down to 3mm
Hi, can you please share where you get your book fabric?
Good
Lovvveeeeeeeee
I would love to win this and gift it to my mum who is obsessed with Harry Potter 💕
Hello!! I’m also based in Australia. Where do you buy your bookbinding supplies, especially the bookcloth? Thanks!
Hi @appleslions4934 - you won the Harry Potter giveaway!!! Comment your insta handle and I'll reach out to arrange shipping.
Also, I did a whole video on supplies but also have everything linked in the description :)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
which kind of cloth you used
Hi
How were u able to write the title of the book using HTV?😢
Thank you so much for putting all of this together! I’ve been wanting to get into bookbinding but have been so overwhelmed!
I'm hear as I want to rebind my tokyo alien manga as the spine for that is alfol so you can barely open the book as it only opens about 50°
I kno it's going to be so beautiful 😢 but taking off the original cover makes me so sad and hurt 😅❤
Do you commission your work? I tend to read books that only like having a "smaller" collection (say ~ 200 books) that I actually would like a great binding for them. My taste is eclectic and ranges from philosophy, to religion, to treatise on war strategy and politics (Art of War, A Book Of Five Rings, Modern Strategy), and that leads to politics, the Malleus Maleficarum, Marquis de Sade, on into The Prince, some of Kafka's works, The Divine Comedy, The Bhagavad Gita, and so may more too numerous to name). It appears you have a talent for your skill, and preserving literature to the best of my ability, is something I prefer to do instead of holding cold, tablets with no smell of the time it took to assemble and craft a high quity piece of artistry. If you work on commissions, or are available on ETSY, I would be most interested in converting something I may eventually give an heirloom they may grow to appreciate over time! I am most impressed with your dedication and your commitment to your craft! 👏👏👏👍
Does anyone know how to convert my canva cover design into cricut?
If you don’t want to use the trace and cut feature, you can download your cover as an SVG file which you can directly import into the design space 😊
Where’s the Authors name? It’s disrespectful to not include JKR’s name on her work.
It’s on the spine!

Love you for this tutorial! I wanna get into rebinding but don’t really have the time right now and don’t know where to start so your account is gonna be really helpful after my exams when I do have the time to get into it🫶🏻 Really beautiful how it turned out btw!☺️
