vol. 1 - rebinding a paperback into a faux antique hardcover.
because i have a deep hatred for modern book covers, but i love to read modern books.... this is my solution.
eventually i would like to also show how to rebind with cloth or faux leather, as well as how to rebind hardcovers.
as always, i simply made these for myself and thought i might share the process.

notes i wanted to add: -if your paper is large enough to fold over the hardcover you might not need to paint (up to you). If it folds over on all sides then miter the corners so they fold neatly. -i dislike the painting step but it was the only solution i could come up with to fill all the white parts that printing could not cover. -you’ve gotta seal them when finished. if any water drops get on there it will bleed since its just printed paper. xx

Gold would look nice on the edges I think like instead of the blue.

@cozykitsune 3 года назад

funny you say that, i bought gold leaf paint so i could try that out!

@ginnybair2533 3 года назад

Have you tried it with fabric for kind of an old clothbound look? I've been wanting to but I'm afraid I'll mess it up. I imagine that would be less likely to need paint or bleed, but it wouldn't have the antique titles etc., and I really like that about yours!

@fairyfarms 3 года назад

you're very talented!

@r.g.36 3 года назад

@@douae5857 exactly what I thought when saw her mixing paint to get the right shade.😅

@alicemilton8756 3 года назад

I'm impressed that you never seem to get stuff all over your clothes when doing crafts

@cottonkandii 3 года назад

I suppose the other option you could have too, if you're graphic design inclined, is to design/create your own antique looking cover prints, with the correct titles. Then you don't need the extra labels on the books. Its a lot of work...but I mean if you're already going to the effort of recovering your books anyway (and have that design/art skill set) I figure why not! Love the aesthetic and relaxing vibe of the video btw.

I enjoy the aesthetic of the video but the blurry effect makes it difficult for me to focus, as I feel like it’s my own eyes Unfocusing

This is the most McKenna video in a long while! For some reason these DIY videos are always like tiny worlds of their own, they're probably the only DIY's I ever watch repeatedly even if I'm not crafting anything myself. Beautiful, beautiful!

I love this! Quick tip for anyone who wants to try book(re)binding: make sure the paper grain (of the replacement cover) is parallel to the spine, that way you'll prevent a lot of creasing and unevenness when folding and gluing the paper. I suggest looking up different ways to check the grain, there are quite a few easy techniques and it makes all the difference when binding books :) (the grain direction on A3 sheets is most often parallel to the shorter side - in this case, the spine - so if you're working with the same dimensions as mckenna, you should generally be fine)

@lornatw 3 года назад

It's like you in book form, with pretty aesthetic and then the genre inside a different vibe of fantasy and adventure other worldy! ❤🌙

@ginnybair2533 3 года назад

I haven't even watched this yet (I'm about to) but I've never been so excited by a notification in my life. This is exactly what I want to do with some of my books!

Here I was, looking for instructions to convert my Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows books to hardcover, and lo and behold here u are converting Six of Crows!!!

@beth4107 3 года назад

this is inspiring me to add a hardcover to my favourite books 🥺 i definitely don’t have the commitment to do all of them but i could definitely manage a couple favourites! i’ve made books before with fabric covers and it could be a cool idea to get the design you want printed on some fabric (you can get it custom printed!) to take it a step further. this has got so much inspiration flowing for me 💕

@nizidafabie 3 года назад

It's been great seeing you grow. I hope to see many more great videos like that from you 💗

@neelyohara88 3 месяца назад

so pretty and so happy you didn’t destroy old books-some people do and it is so heartbreaking. this was beautiful.

@janaund 3 года назад

I love the look of this! Not sure whether I'm actually going to try this since it appears to be a lot of work and I have a ton of books, but maybe one day when I have some spare time and want to push my library aesthetics to a max ♥ Thank you for uploading and inspiring me! + yes, I would love the other video ideas you mention in the infobox!

@xcherrykinsx 3 года назад

such a good idea! i can only imagine how beautiful your shelves must be. if you're open to a few tips, i'd love to share my knowledge of bookbinding as well. namely, i'd recommend using a ph neutral glue (which will maintain its flexibility and won't yellow over time) and binders board as opposed to mounting board. binder's board is made in such a way that it is denser than most other materials at a similar thickness and so it resists warping better.

Thank you for uploading this DIY! The books turned out beautiful. I was kinda worried about the titles not being on there, but the tag was a brilliant idea. I cannot wait to attempt this myself! Where did you get the brush for the glue?

@ipeedsohardilaughed_ Год назад

I have a question can i use the picture paper or like the paper for yk like those polaroids Or whatever idk what is it called... That thick paper? Maybe that won't leak as easily as normal paper right? Idk can we?

@MrsPinkyChiChi 3 года назад

Really good idea I wish there were some way to preserve the original cover as the first page though. I also wonder if it’d be possible to photoshop the cover with the actual name of the book before printing.

@beth4107 3 года назад

you definitely could photoshop it if you’re confident enough with photoshop! not sure about preserving the original cover though, seems like it would be tricky

@katiewright4191 2 года назад

Hi! How do you know the printed antique paper cover will be big enough? Do you specifically find printed antique photos that will be big enough for the book in question? Or how do you do that? Thanks. :)
