Just found your site, very clear and interesting. When you have made the paste paper for book covers do you have to add any coatings ie acrylic wax of bees wax to make the book covers more robust or is the paper OK as it is? Thank you Ron Jones
Thanks and apologies for the late reply. I sometimes add a mixture of beeswax and white spirits, depending on what I'm going to use it for. I have used an acrylic varnish in the past, but found that that messed up the texture of the paste paper.
This is so simple but stunning at the same time. I live it because the grandkids can make it too! They will live this project! Does it matter what kind of acrylic paint you use?
Oh dear! I can see me trying this over and over again! Thanks for sharing this.
Adding a bit of orange to blue will give a rich navy blue.
Thanks - I'll try that sometime!
Great explanatory video. Now it is up to us to add our own artistic designs.
They turned out lovely
Beautiful! I can’t wait to try this, one day.
Fantastic!
Many thanks!

Oh, very cool! Could I do the same thing with just acrylic paint?
انت رائعه شكرا
ياريت ترجمه لكل اعمالك
Great video! Thank you
You're welcome!
Very nice - the finished papers look deceptively expensive!
Is there danger of paste paper-covered books sticking together as they touch next to each other on the shelf?
