Book Bind 2: Turning Bunny Into a Hardcover 🐇 DIY Sprayed Edges & Faux Leather

For my book bind 2 I am going to be turning a paperback edition of Bunny by Mona Awad into a custom hardcover. This time I want to learn how to DIY sprayed edges because that is something I always enjoy with special edition books, and I want to try faux leather for the cover.
This is NOT a tutorial - I don't know what I am doing yet. I am committed to trial and error to "learn the hard way" but ultimately get a classy collection of re-bound books featuring some of my favorites!
Here is the self adhesive faux leather I used:

Yay! Another bookbinding video. I find the peeling of the vinyl borders and letters strangely satisfying. Looks great.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

You know what, now that I’m more comfortable with it, I feel the same. Last night I just zoned out weeding vinyl and listening to Master Chef lol

[@shadabali4313]

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

I’m happy we connected! Happy reading to you my friend!

[@percydoeseverything]

Stunning finished result!!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! I love the classic look

[@JohnSeney]

Wow looking at the still photo I really thought there was a mass-market special edition of "Bunny!" That is great work that you do, congratulations!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you, That is a great compliment! It is coming along

[@Johanna_reads]

It looks so good! Great concept for this book and execution!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! This was a fun one since it has dark academia vibes.

[@NerdyNatReads]

Oh my god, the crackling page noises 😮‍💨turned out gorgeous!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

So satisfying right?! I mean… knowing it turns out ok 😆

[@percydoeseverything]

Cracking lose those sprayed edges 😍

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

It is SO satisfying!

[@BecxReadz]

Great job.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 progress

[@someothercharacter]

Great result. Spray paint is a pain to work with, even on a slightly breezy day.

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

It always gets in places you never intended it to lol 😂

[@laku_u]

Oh, this one came out even better!
I was wondering, how many hours of work did the whole process take? Including the time spent designing the cover, and the various attempts with the font?

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Ooh that’s a good question, I have no idea! Maybe about 4 hours of actual work, plus the time it needs to sit in the book press. It’s been really fun to work on it and zone out with an audio book. Or this week I listed to Master Chef while weeding the vinyl for bind 3.

Love this one!! Where did you find that stunning glitter paper??? I need them for my ACOTAR rebinds, it’s just too pretty!🩷 4:37

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Thank you!! I found the paper at Michael’s. I like that it doesn’t shed glitter. That could be so pretty on ACOTAR books!!
