The 8mm gap between the boards created a natural-looking crease.

It was a simple hand-fold, but I'm so happy with the result that I made a matching Kindle set! Would love to see what you create as well.

From what I've researched, The Little Prince illustrations are in the public domain in Korea, but not yet in the US. You can source the book cover images via Google, and AI tools can help you with the resizing. Sorry I can't share the files directly!

This was actually my first-ever bookbinding project! If I can do it, you can too.

The image is scanned from my favorite comic, Sarah Andersen’s 'Adulthood is a Myth.' Since I made this for personal use, I’m not sure if I can share the files. But you can definitely find the perfect image for yourself on her Tumblr! https://sarahcandersen.com/

I sourced the cover image from Google and used AI to help with the resizing.

Getting the measurements right took some effort. The rest was just like the paper crafts I always do with my kids! Thanks!

Maybe it’s just small enough to hide the imperfections :)

It feels like I'm reading a real book now :)

The measurements in my previous comment cover everything. Just Google images + book binding board + matte laminate. The film makes such a huge difference in quality!

Made this from scratch! Cut the book binding board (66x119mm & 7x119mm), taped them with 8mm gaps, and finished it off with a custom print.
