Wow this is so cool, Kay! I have never even entertained the idea of doing this myself, but you are tempting me to give it a shot. Especially with shipping costs of international special editions, this seems like a great way to give my own little beauty makeover to my books. Loved this video!!
I used the clear matte Ultra Cover from Rust-Oleum I believe is the company name. You can see the bottle at 5:56 to 5:59 if that helps. Good luck with your book and spraying the edges!
Love it! I've been thinking about trying this myself with stencils for that added uniqueness. We'll see how it works! It's honestly the idea of finding a press that's been stopping me, but you make a good point of thrifting it. Or maybe Andrew can whip one together for me. We'll see!
I’d love to see how yours turn out with the stencils Tricia! I’m sure Andrew can whip something up for you. I know Home Depot here has employees who will help cut wood for you. So if you have something like that nearby you could ask them to cut the plywood and then get 4 clamps. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
I’m glad you found it helpful! There’s more videos from other creators on the subject, including full tutorials in the description if you’re interested.
This video was sooo helpful thank you so much! And if you do decide to get a cricket later you should look into the cricket joy it’s for little projects so it’s perfect for books and it’s a lot cheaper then the big ones 😊
Awesome video Kay! Very neat idea and the end result looks great IMO. I think the clamping is critical, especially to prevent the paint bleeding onto the pages
Thank you! I'm glad they turned out as good as they did consider they were my first attempts. Agreed, getting that fast spraying motion with the spray paint is also a big help.
I will blame you for the addition of ANOTHER hobby 😂❤❤❤
I will happily take the blame on that! 😂 have fun and I’d love to see photos of any you paint.
I would literally paint the book closed forever. Great video! It's going to be so helpful to people who are crafty!!
😂 that would be a skill Brian! Thanks for watching and that’s the hope 🤞

I would love to see how it turns out for you if you give it a try!
Very straightforward video with great b roll. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you found it helpful! All the best if you decide to try it for yourself.
What did you use for the base clear coat? Im considering trying that out on my books!

This was really interesting Kayla! I’ve never known anyone to do it as a hobby. Very cool!
Thanks for watching Chas! It was fun to experiment with and hopefully the video helps others if it’s something they want to try out.

We definitely have to try this! I would LOVE to be able to offer sprayed edges
Very interesting! I've been seeing these for a bit and was curious how it could be done. Thanks!

@@KaysHiddenShelf Maybe if I get a wild hair and want to try it myself, but this was a great introduction to it.

That’s wonderful to know! Thank you so much for the recommendation and I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

That's so cool! On the other hand, my poor wallet. I like second hand books, and this is a great way to restore them! Thank you for sharing!
Haha! I know that feeling, it all adds up in the end. I hope you enjoy the process and results if you decide to give this a try for yourself!
Love this video! Super cool
Thrilled you enjoyed it! 💜
