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!
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!!!!
Thanks so much! The edges of a journal would be amazing! Gus says hi!
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
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!!
this such a cool idea. Thinking Christmas stencils would really make a great coffee table book!
That's a great idea!
They look awesome and Gus is beautiful. Thanks and have a wonderful day.
Thank you Mandy!
Thanks Cori. What a fun and unique idea. 😊
Thanks!
Wow, hoping to try something like this with customizing Bibles soon! Like gauffering, but with paint or archival inks
What a great idea!
Amazing! Thank you
Thank you too!
Hi Cori great video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
So cool!!! As an author, it would be fun to do this to my own books. 😍
I love that idea! I have two craft books and now you have me thinking!!
If your clamps have a deep enough throat, put them on from the back, so they are not in your way. :)
Mine didn't clamp as well from the back because they weren't quite deep enough! I needed the larger clamps, ha!
Love the idea and love the series! I have them on audiobook and have listened to them multiple times.
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 Jennifer L Armentrout has a few good series also.
@@user-yl6lj5eo9g I read the first From Blood & Ash book and just got the second!
@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.
I love this tutorial! Thank you! Have you tried Cricuts stencil vinyl for this?
I have not, but I bet it would work! Glad you liked the tutorial!
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?
I make my designs in Adobe Illustrator (see my free series here: ua-cam.com/video/hNKfp1sQUEg/v-deo.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.
Wow Im so jelly of where you live.... lol
I live here and most of the time I'm like "OMG I LIVE HERE!" It's like being on vacation in a cabin every day.
Same.
Have you ever used the gold metallic spray? I've heard it's doesn't stay on the edges very well.
I haven't! That's good to know. Sometimes metallic paint can be more flaky than regular colors.
True booklovers would never do this to a book 👎🏼👎🏼
Agree to disagree!
It’s her books if she wants she can use them as shoes, get over it
Books with sprayed edges are a thing book stores offer 😂 so book lovers buy them already, this person just chose to do it herself.
What's the big deal. Just don't watch it and leave her alone she can make whatever she wants to. You need to work on being respectful.
@@Cocopretty100 destroying a book is disrespectful. You could just ignore comments as well…
