I tried book binding!

It looks stunning Ruby

Good result:)

That's so cool! Welcome to the community!🎉
As a trained bookbinder myself, I have some tips for you:
- try putting the glue on the end paper instead of on the book block and the covers
- glue the gauze only to the back of the block at first. Only paste the rest of it down when glueing on the boards
- when covering the boards, put the glue on the cloth (works best with a big brush or a paint roller)
- try not glueing on the spine of the cover to create a hollow back - most casebound books have one and it will be much easier to open the book. If you don't like that you can look into the spine, you can use the endpaper paper instead of masking tape to make it look prettier.

Have fun experimenting!

hi ruby, how much in total did it cost you?? ive been meaning to start book binding as well!

U have no idea how much I love u and wish I was one of ur family cause u the most person that inspires me in the whole world ❤

I love bookbinding!!! I had lots of scrapbook paper so found out how to make notebooks. Now I've got an Etsy. I work in a school and I'm making story books for our yearly production 😁

Every Bookbinder has that box that hides all the first attempts and learning books. I made the horrendous mistakes of learning on my good books and ruined them, after 32 years of binding I still haven't got around to fixing them...Happy Binding...

I would definitely mess this up

I love books 📚 as well as magazines

Amazing ❤❤❤

Miss Reads Girl 📚 👌👌

I am surprised you didn't up-cycled something from your kitchen for the book covers You can use cardboard from food packaging.

Hahaha the transition between "I love books" and aggressively rips cover of a favourite book was startling

Interesting!

I love how she’s actually had a good attempt and included the not so good parts too 👏🏼

In my days, we used to bind books by using clothes, cardboards and threads

Um

Sexy.

Great work Ruby! 👏 Please tell us how you printed the gold lettering on the spine. Or did you write using a gold-ink pen?

You did great! Well done.

Why do they always skip the gold foil part?

love your videos ruby ❤

Where u buy thay hard cover plz pin link

You r cute😊

yoo😮😮 i seriously need you in my life🥺🥺...you are awesome

They taught us how to bind books in art foundation class so that we could make our own sketch books, any size we liked. It a skill I treasure to this day, not something I thought I would get out of art school but truely a privledge to be have this skill!

Bravo

FUN!

Explain how to do the foil stamp please

Beloved

Welcome!

Does anyone recognise the company the custom bookboards came from?

What materials woukd you recomend? Where do we find them? Thanks

With what did you di the text?

QLindaaaa Ruby GrangerBaby I love you yes..............

Wow ! ❤️ this takes some skill and patience!
I think you did a great job and should be super proud of yourself 🤗
I would love to try this , but would be scared to mess it all up. I will add this to my bucket list of things to try though 👍🏼

- I love books
- oh, really?

Excellent first go.

Hey, What did u use for decorating the book spine?

I never new you have to buy all cardboards for binding we just use old files especially box files cover it's cheap and more sturdy and use binding cloths in middle for more sturdiness 😅😅😅

a solid 1st edition haha hell yea I wish I could get the courage to do this to all my books. I would make an entire wall design out of the spines since its my library. great job though dude

I started book repair/ bookbinding aswell! You did really well

Beutiful girl

That isn't actually book binding, it's just recovering

I’m about to be really nitpicky and I would like to apologize in advance

This isn’t exactly book binding. Book binding is typically the entire process of putting the book together (i.e. making signatures, sewing them together, and making the cover). What you did would be considered “rebinding” or “recasting”. This is specifically redoing the cover to a book and is often used as a form of restoration for older books.

Still, this video was really cool and amazing for your first time!

My heart broke when you glued the spine.

Isa.26.3 - You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isa.26.4 - Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock.

Jesus is coming so soon, how prepared are you? He is knocking at the door of your heart

Thank you
