Skills You’ll Master
Bookbinding is a skill that takes practice to perfect—your first book might have a few quirks, but that’s part of the handmade charm! Embrace the imperfections or grab some refill kits to keep honing your craft.
📖 Rebinding techniques – from casing-in to covering with cloth
🛠️ Spine reinforcement – ensuring durability and longevity
✂️ Precision trimming and finishing – achieving professional edges and clean lines
🎀 Ribbon embellishment – adding a decorative or functional touch
🖋️ Working with vinyl – mastering weeding and application
Please Note: We’ve selected black book cloth as the easiest option for beginners, as it won’t show extra glue. When customising your cover, keep in mind that some vinyl designs are more intricate to weed than others—take your time and enjoy the process!
