    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

    This is really cute! It might be really cool with rebinding a paperback into a hardback and doing this! A totally custom one of a kind book!

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

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

  • @misamaivalentine
    @misamaivalentine 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

    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
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I make my designs in Adobe Illustrator (see my free series here: th-cam.com/video/hNKfp1sQUEg/w-d-xo.html). 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.

    What material do you recommend using for the stencil if you’re planning to hand paint? Masking tape has worked well in the past for hand drawn/cut, but I’m looking to purchase a cutting machine to help with this! I was thinking adhesive vinyl, but I’m worried it won’t come off the book. I just don’t want it rubbing off in the paint application process with a brush.

    Also those binding fabric on the spines are called headbands. :)

    Fantastic video!!!! Thanks for making. Is there an advantage to an airbrush vs spray paint? Do you have to apply any type of sealant to protect fading?

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Airbrush definitely gives you more options! I've seen some pretty intricate multiple-color sprayed edges. Those are definitely done with airbrush. I wouldn't seal, because the pages will likely stick together.

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have not. But, I would imagine the same process would apply!

  • @joletapetty6706
    @joletapetty6706 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Did anyone else gasp out loud when she wasted those perfectly folded edges of the paper and just slapped tape all over the cover? Literally 2 scissor snips on each side and you would barely need any tape at all!
    In case you don't get what I mean: when you've folded the butchers paper to match the height of the book, fold in one side like she did and close the book (no tape) then look at where the spine is and snip those folded down flaps. Now open the book back up and rewrap that side with the cover INSIDE those top and bottom flaps. You can tape that in place if you want but the pressure of the clamps should keep it in place. Do the same for the other side and you'll be left with 2 narrow flaps at the spine - you could leave those folded down and tape the spine like she does here, or you can gently poke those flaps down into the spine gap. This way there may be a little bit of cover showing at the hinge that will need tape, but only little slivers so it won't matter if it's masking or even duct tape.

    • @HeyLetsMakeStuff
      @HeyLetsMakeStuff  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching and sharing your method! The process may vary for each person (as well as the end result) and that's the beauty of crafting! I tend to use lots of tape for my crafts--especially sublimation!
