    I'd never seen the tip of using an iron to help remove the covers before - I love it when I learn a new tip/technique 👍 I do really like the pace of your videos and your voice is really good for me (I'm getting on a bit and sometimes I find things hard to follow). I have to agree with Srestha - you do deserve more subscribers.

    This looks awesome! Although I have made my own notebooks before, I’ve never really dared to change my book covers, but now I really want to! Some tips like the iron to remove the covers are new to me, and I’d love to try that gilded image technique. You took away the fear of me ‘ruining’ my books, so I’ll definitely give it a try now! Thank you!

    thank you so much for this tutorial, i’ve just finished my first book and i’m so excited!!
    some advice from my mistakes for anyone covering or binding their first book - make sure to double check the placement of the text block in the covers, i’m not sure quite what i did wrong the first time but even with leaving an unglued cm of endpaper, my book could just not lay flat (i think maybe i shoved the book too far back into the spine??) - after nerve wrackingly prying my endpaper off the covers, i re-positioned it and clipped it into place to check that it could open properly before gluing the second time - would recommend doing this initially to save yourselves some very tedious procedures if you’re not 100% sure 🙈

I took a horrible modern cover version of one of my Enid Blyton books and luckily I had pretty much all of the materials to turn it into a hardback book! I just used some canvas linen but luckily the glue didn't go through, and for my first try doing it abit rushed, it came out damn near perfect!!!! I will definitely be using this method when I recover a set of Harry Potter books in the near future, thankyou so much!!!
