So I picked up a new hobby π I wanted to try rebinding books after getting hooked watching many, many reels. I went to goodwill and picked up some 99 cent books that were in rough condition to practice on. This was my first attempt. I learned a lot for next time, but overall I'm happy with the outcome.
Rebidding involved removing the cover, sanding the yellowed pages to be white again, adding new end pages, reinforcing the spine, making a new hard jacket, and designing a new cover to cut on my cricut. βπ»Not too bad for a 1980s romance book I think!
I still am crocheting and embroidering and everything else, but man it's so much fun learning something new!
