When you did the final reveal, I was about to ask, "Where can I get the books?" Then I remembered that I'm watching a Book Binding Video. Damn, that really sold me!
Also typically when you put books in a press, you want the spines to stick out, so just the covers and text block get smooshed, otherwise the spine is keeping the press from fully smooshing the rest. Love your projects! You’re rocking the leather!
You're doing a good job. For the leather part: 1. Try and trim or burnish some of the suede side. I noticed it's rather hairy which creates space between leather and the textblock. 2. Try and apply glue to the leather instead of the book. That way the leather becomes lightly damp which makes it more maliable. 3. If your folding tool doesn't create the desired sharpness around the embossing you can finish it later by using a dull but edged tool which you can heat up slightly (so make sure it's metal) and then contouring all the edges again. 4. A ripe to work out he spine in de drying process when you've just applied the leather works good too. Especially around the spine.
Wow, these look amazing! I love watching bookbinding projects, the end results always look great. I think the chronicles of Narnia would look fabulous leather-bound, although there are quite a lot of them 😂
Having worked at Tandy for a while, and having done leatherwork for most of my life, here's what I'll say. EcoFlo All-in-One is exactly that. It's dye and topcoat that is applied all at once. It's vital that you get a clean, consistent coat in one go, and before it dries. If you let part of it dry, then do more of it, you'll see the line between the sections. Cova Color is an acrylic paint. It's a thin acrylic designed for leather, but it is paint. And the actual leather dye from EcoFlo, Fiebings, or Angelus...the best way to get a clean and consistent coat is to airbrush it on or lightly dampen your leather before dyeing it.
Watching this gave me the idea of doing this with my wife's copies of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, but I am NOT dexterous. Sooooo... Ordering 2 more copies of that so that i dont mess her copies up lol
I really wish TH-cam recommend me this video earlier because i love the hunger games too, I haven't read the books but I've seen all the movies (watching the most recent one in the cinema with my mother, she loves it too) and these new covers look gorgeous! You did amazing for an amateur bookbinder!
I have a suggestion for a series but it’s 3 arcs long, 5 books an arc, It’s called Wings of Fire, it’s one of my favorite book series and I’m really interested to see what they would look like in leather and what designs they could have, but it might be a 3 parter because there are 15 books total, 2 Legend books, and 4 short stories soooooo yeah!
A book series that I'd love to see you bind is Warrior Cats! I loved the series growing up, but all but one of my books were paperback (Bluestar's Prophecy was the exception, for those curious), and because I got the first series from like 4 separate places the heights don't match either. It'd be really cool to see you bind them! (Mind you, I'm only really asking for the first series, not the whole franchise. You've bound 6 books in a video before, I'm not going to ask you to do over 40 ^^')
the selection series was that book for me too in 8th-9th grade I had (and still do) a lot of trouble reading and learning things so reading was always on the hate list especially when I grew out of junie b jones and the fairy books (only because a middle school library doesn't have them). ive wanted to have the dresses on the covers for close to 10 years (except for book 2, I just don't like it its very odd). but I would love to see the covers reimagined. sorry for spelling also not my strong suit. love your work I only found you a couple weeks ago and love your stuff.❤
I'm sure there's another comment in here somewhere, but I looked up the red and blue you used. The reason they're so different from the black or green is that they're paints, not dye. That also explains their finish being gloss other than colorful leather lol
@@Web_Gremlin I did know and all I've heard is negative feedback on it 💀 I really want to read it myself (I don't think its in Australia yet), but the reviews are putting me off. I read a preview of The Maze Cutter on Apple Books, because I was super curious about The Book Of Newt. That is probably what makes me want to read the series the most tbh... I'm not sure if the second book is even released anywhere yet
@@Web_Gremlin let us know if the book is any good! I really want it, but I don’t want to waste money if it’s not as good as the others 💀 It’s hard, because maybe the next two after TMC are really good
After watching both your videos and Nerdforge's I'm having an itching to either complete a leather bound set of the Wings of Fire series or see it done. It's a big series, the main three arcs spanning 15 books, and that's not including the Legends books or the Winglets. Finding hardbacks of all 15 books isn't easy either, or necessarily cheap. I was looking at it the other day and getting hardback copies of all but two would cost a Benjamin and a half. That's not taking into consideration the cost of other materials needed and the time it would take. Still, even if not to make a bound book set, it's a pretty decent read. Aimed for a younger audience, but it's been consistent in my life since I bought the first book back in my sixth grade Book Fair. Only thing it made me regret was the amount of OCs I've created and subsequently forgotten due to it, lol.
I love WoF (currently my brother has inherited all my books). Darkstalker's standalone book was amazing. On a side note, imagine doing the Warrior Cat's series *faints* . There's close to a hundred books!
I just finished mockingjay a few weeks ago (loved the wholes series) and why am I just realizing when u said it that the mockingjay on the cover isn’t in a circle because it represents it being free?? That’s actually so brilliant
I’ve been watching your vids since your first upload, and ur the reason I bind fanfics. I think it’d be cool to see u do the Matched trilogy next (they were the books that got me into reading)
I would LOVE to see you read and perhaps bind the Artemis Fowl books? Or at least the first book. It can technically be read as a stand-alone novel, but the series gets wilder and wilder as it progresses. I've heard some say that it's almost as if it changes genres on the way through, which I totally see. Artemis Fowl is my favorite book series and I'd love for it to get some love.
I love the finished look! They turned out really well. And I can definitly relate to some things in this video, like how I constantly misspell things (note my misspelling of the word definitly) Maybe you cold try a book from the Warriors or Wings of Fire series? They are some of my favorite book series, and I'm curious what you could do with them.
why do i lowkey want to see leatherbound versions of the dork diaries series it would be like giving all of nikki’s little diaries a massive glow up lol
These look gorgeous!! Your books are so cool!!! Im super excited for the new movie i loved the book when i read it so i think itll translate relatively well into film
I think they look amazing. I have one suggestion. Next time when using "rivets", cut a recess in the board for the rivet so that the rivet will be flush and not button. I keep seeing them getting knocked off in my head
These turned out so so cool! I’m in awe over how cool they look with such relatively simple steps. Your videos are always so enjoyable to watch, thank you for all the time and effort you put into them ❤ - I would recommend the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and perhaps the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. The last book of the series comes out next year. Both of them are kinda big series with long books but I highly recommend!
So, I'm just going to hop on here and say two things... (I don't comment often, sorry) 1. These turned out great even with the struggles you had getting the green to apply evenly (I've had that problem with thinner dyes, too- it's not easy to get it just right). I totally feel your pain. I've used that last brand of dye for a while now (it's the only brand they sell at Tandy Leather and the local Michael's store), and it can be totally finicky. Light colors are especially hard to use because they behave almost like watercolors in that the layering effect is very, very difficult to avoid. Which brings me to number: 2. With those thinner dyes, I've found that, a lot of times, it absorbs more evenly and leaves you having to do fewer "coats" of it if you dampen the leather first. Some great leatherworking channels I've learned from are Dark Horse Workshop, Corter Leather, and (maybe a little surprisingly) Four Keys Book Arts. And Sea Lemon and Nerdforge are awesome! Another great bookbinding channel is DAS Bookbinding, if you're interested- I use his methods all the time for making journals and sketchbooks. Just wanted to throw those out there. I'm no TH-camr or anything, but I've done this as a personal hobby for many years, now, and I learned SOOOOO much from those channels when I was just starting with leather-binding books. (Some of them weren't around then, others were, but I've learned something from all of them.) Always love, love, LOVE your videos, Jess. You always bring a smile to my face, and your creativity is inspiring. I can't wait to see what you come up with next, and I also can't wait to watch you continue growing in your craft. You got this!
"Just look at my Percy Jackson books, they need more friends." Well, good news then. There are about twenty more books set in the same universe. That's not counting the two big ones that are just Percy recounting version Greek myths.
Omg omg omg I WAS WAITING FOR U TO DO THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!wasn't expecting to be so hurt when u ripped the covers off😭 but omg I love the hunger games so much...
I just found your channel because I wanted to get into bookbinding.... But now I'm just enjoying playing HermitCraft background music bingo 😂 The books came out amazing ❤
Hi! AMAZING VIDEO! I have a few questions, where do you buy all your leather? And what's the best type of leather for book binding? Would love to start doing this myself! Thanks!
ive been watching your content for a bit today and i gotta say i really love it, youre extremely fun and your content type does remind me a bit of Nerdforge (in the best way possible) Keep up the great work Jass!! youre awesome!
I literally just watched the first movie for the first time ever yesterday lol, and now I see this. (I heard The Hunger Games was like the Life Series so I gave it a watch XD Ngl, I did actually love it and can make a bunch of correlations lol) Edit: Those have got to be the COOLEST DIY book covers I’ve ever seen!💜
ive only read the first one so yknow kinda need to read them all Also a series i think you would find neat is Wings of Fire (though its a VERY long series so bounding it may not be a good idea)
I was thinking Wings of Fire too! Maybe only the first couple of books in the series, like the first arc? That way Jess won't have to do all fifteen, because that seems like a bit much lol
I know I am a little late to your party. Very entertaining and informative video! I have a suggestion for your next bookbinding endeavor As a reader, I am always looking for a bookmark to pick up where I left off. Might I suggest you get a ribbon and glue it to the spine? You've got it all torn apart, you're gluing all sorts of stuff together, what's one tiny little step? Vola! you have a built-in bookmark for when you are enjoying the journey through the book. It will always be there and won't get lost. Anyway, that is just my 2 cents worth. Overall I enjoyed both the Jackson and now your Hunger Games video. I am working on my own bookbinding project and you've given me a few more ideas. Thank you.
honestly when you said you were adding ribbons i thought it was gonna be those bookmark-ribbons that fancy writing books have lol. The books came out super great! i'd love to turn my four Dark Crystal books into cooler looking ones like this (if nothing else i'd at least loose the stupid NETFLIX "sticker" on the front) but i'm way to scared to touch them bc they're just to precious to me lol.
@@Web_Gremlin ikr? Personal I like the bosas movie more then the others I’ve seen (hunger games and catching fire) so I hope when/if you see it you enjoy it!!
Wow! I love your content so much! It's so genuine and makes me laugh every time! Keep up the amazing work! I can't wait for your next video! (No matter how long it takes! ;) )
"Oh that hurts, the immense pain!"
YEAH THAT'S HOW WE ALL FELT WHEN YOU DID THAT TO THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS
EXACTLY 😭
Amen LOL
The pain when you ripped the covers off 😭
IM SORRY FOR MY BOOK CRIMES
@@JessLess I screamed at 12:41 AM 😭
And the relief of the final result
I KNOW!!! I know she makes them extra pretty afterwards....but it still hurts 😂😂😂
Only a car with clowns coming out to beat me with the remains of broken books could have been worse

I have a copy where all of them are in one book and I'm considering rebinding it but idk
I would love to see that!
There’s 7 books I think. I sure she could do it!
The rip was so clean yet so painful😭✋️
I'm so happy to see how this turned out BUT THE WAY YOU HAD TO TEAR THE POOR PAGES FROM THE ORIGINAL BOOKBACKS IS JUST PAINFUL.
The amount of legitimate pain I felt when you ripped the cover off 😭
Such a good series. You did a fantastic job Jess!
First you rip the Percy Jackson books now the hunger games!! As Sejanus Plinth once said “YOU’RE MONSTERS ALL OF YOU!”
Having worked at Tandy for a while, and having done leatherwork for most of my life, here's what I'll say.

This was uploaded as I was working on a tiny notebook just for fun, so this is perfect to watch while waiting for the papers to flatten :>
These came out so perfectly it kinda makes me want to learn how to bookbind!^^
Your bookbinding skills have improved so much! Very proud of you, sending love from The Philippines ❤❤❤
I'm literally awe inspired! Gorgeous, lustrous looking edges and pages. Expert craftmanship all around

This would be so cool
Would love to see this 👀

“I DONT HAVE DYSLEXIA I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO SPELL”
Realest thing I’ve heard all day
the selection series was that book for me too in 8th-9th grade I had (and still do) a lot of trouble reading and learning things so reading was always on the hate list especially when I grew out of junie b jones and the fairy books (only because a middle school library doesn't have them). ive wanted to have the dresses on the covers for close to 10 years (except for book 2, I just don't like it its very odd). but I would love to see the covers reimagined. sorry for spelling also not my strong suit. love your work I only found you a couple weeks ago and love your stuff.❤
:00 a book press??? Thats so fancy im gonna miss pressing the books with other books and other random stuff tho
the warrior cats kid is screaming in me, yet theres too many books to choose from out of it- nor do I believe you were a fan of them growing up
For the early worry about the green dye I think it looks the best out of a great looking quartet! So clean!
I'm sure there's another comment in here somewhere, but I looked up the red and blue you used. The reason they're so different from the black or green is that they're paints, not dye. That also explains their finish being gloss other than colorful leather lol
Amazing job btw You should do the maze runner I think it will look amazing
Yesyesyes, please yes! That would look so cool 😭
Yes that would be amazing
YESSSS with an extra special book for Crank Palace

Especially because you get to deface Rowling's work
Literally thinking the same thing
These look really good, can’t wait to see how you do when “Sunrise on the Reaping” comes out.
I love this vids. Like, you teached me how to bookbind, girl. You really did.
Your rambling at the mini-press had me CACKLING!!! 😂 I absolutely loved that part! Super smart, and a gorgeous project! huge well done 😍
One video from you made me feel like I've been watching you for years.
these are so good! you did a great job book binding these

Love the book press! What works works and I'm stealing that idea!
This is Fantastic just like the Percy Jackson books you made, the next book series could be The lord of the rings possibly, luv ur vids!
I've never read the hunger games but those looked awesome in the thumbnail!
I love the finished look! They turned out really well. And I can definitly relate to some things in this video, like how I constantly misspell things (note my misspelling of the word definitly)
Maybe you cold try a book from the Warriors or Wings of Fire series? They are some of my favorite book series, and I'm curious what you could do with them.
Imagine doing Warriors... You'd have to pick a your favourite series, thats for sure
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I'M ALWAYS HYPED WHEN JESS LESS POSTS A BOOK BINDING VID
You've outdone yourself here.. they're amazing
why do i lowkey want to see leatherbound versions of the dork diaries series
it would be like giving all of nikki’s little diaries a massive glow up lol
These book projects could be really cool for giving books with beat up paper covers a new life life.

These came out so beautifully!! Wowowow
Even better it"s been announced that she doing another prequel this ones on our man Haymitch
