Leather bookbinding I really want something personalized for the cover. Like engraving or burning a logo or some text. But it seems quite hard to make it look good with no tools.
Leather bookbinding Made the first book

Leather bookbinding Picked up a craft knife and some glue, I will just use some old plastic cutting board instead of buying a craft board.
I just need paper now and I can start.
Leather bookbinding Bought the materials. The leather was surprisingly high quality. The paper sucked though, it's the wrong size and has thin flimsy pages.
What I need next:
- Probably 4 A5 or A6 book blocks
- PVA glue (flexible bookbinding glue)
- Cutting mat, ruler and craft knife
- Clamps or binder clips
Will probably cost ~700 kr
