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!!!!

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much! The edges of a journal would be amazing! Gus says hi!

My daughter want to paint the edges of the twilight books. Thank you so much for this. I’m so excited to show her so we can attempt it.

Have fun!

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

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

I'm glad you found it helpful! I still have to pinch myself sometimes when I think living in this house is just a dream!!

So cool!!! As an author, it would be fun to do this to my own books. 😍

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

I love that idea! I have two craft books and now you have me thinking!!

@user-yl6lj5eo9g 4 месяца назад

Love the idea and love the series! I have them on audiobook and have listened to them multiple times.

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

Same! I do mostly audiobooks which is how I get through 100+ per year. But of course I still like to have hardcopies of my favorites!

@HeyLetsMakeStuff I'm sure you'll love it. If you are interested in any of the others, let me know and I'll send you the series titles I loved.

Wow, hoping to try something like this with customizing Bibles soon! Like gauffering, but with paint or archival inks

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 3 месяца назад

What a great idea!

@CarolBondOldDragonMama 9 дней назад

That would make such a beautiful gift for someone! Love this idea!

@LithosAndLasers 4 месяца назад

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

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

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

@misamaivalentine 6 дней назад

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 11 часов назад

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!

@mandyarcitio6976 4 месяца назад

I love this tutorial! Thank you! Have you tried Cricuts stencil vinyl for this?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 4 месяца назад

I have not, but I bet it would work! Glad you liked the tutorial!

@lauriegibson4803 29 дней назад

This is amazing. I wonder if washi tape would be a good alternative to painters tape in a pinch?

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 28 дней назад

I bet it could! You want to be sure it's not too sticky or not sticky enough, though!

@lilibethramirez2756 3 месяца назад

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 3 месяца назад

I make my designs in Adobe Illustrator (see my free series here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hNKfp1sQUEg.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.

@sandrawest8515 3 месяца назад

Have you ever used the gold metallic spray? I've heard it's doesn't stay on the edges very well.

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 3 месяца назад

I haven't! That's good to know. Sometimes metallic paint can be more flaky than regular colors.

@veronicavanderver7270 29 дней назад

Have you ever tried this method on a bible

@HeyLetsMakeStuff 28 дней назад

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

@EdgarAllanGo 17 дней назад

I couldn’t make it two minutes (literally) into this video because of the incessant uptalk. For god sakes just talk normal, or take a speech class to learn how to talk so listeners are engaged. I’ll watch someone else do this to learn.
