While I await for a printer so I can print out some endpapers, here is a project I’ve been working on for a few months — a rebind of Revenge of the Sith. I’m thinking about putting a quote from the movie on the back cover, but not sure which. Really proud of how this book is turning out 💜

Clear dust jacket | wip

Testing out an idea I’ve been wanting to try out for a long time — clear dust jackets! I used the protective sleeve from one of my records and played around with some paper. I’m loving the way it looks. However, I need to be more exact with my measurements next time so that it fits more snug around the book.

This isn’t what I wanted….

Recently finished making the front cover for my current rebind. So far I’ve only added the title in red adhesive vinyl, I need to add the title to the spine, as well as some text on the back cover.

I’m so obsessed with this design! Can you guess the inspiration for this cover? 💜

Hi! I’m Lacey and I’m an amateur bookbinder. I made this blog with the intention to share my creations with you (and also keep the bookbinding spam to a minimum on my main lol). I started bookbinding in my mid-teens, but I’ve been doing it a lot more lately. I’m self-taught, but I’m trying my best to learn the craft and I’d be happy to connect with fellow book binders on here. On this blog I’ll share my wips and give you updates, as well as post resources. If you guys have any questions, feel free to send them my way and I’ll try my best to answer them. Thanks for reading! Hope you like what you see! :D
