Helloooo Neverland! Good morning Mr. Smee! Okay, sorry. I saw the commercial for Peter Pan and thought of Hook with Robin Williams. So lets get back on topic. I have been making these blank books with my Yourstory from Provocraft. It is a book binding and laminating machine. I really like it. I was searching around on Youtube trying to find a way to maybe possibly make my own book covers instead of having to purchase them. I ended up finding an awesome tutorial by 2tinytreasures (Be sure to go check her out on Youtube. She is truly so creative!) I changed a few things and this is my version. All materials will be listed in detail at the bottom of post.
Thanks for watching!
