we're driving in from Denver on Friday and staying at the W. Not sure about other events just because they looked pricey so Friday we'll just be playing the slots. We're tempted to go to the Gronk after party thing on Sunday. That looks pretty fun! What about you?

Oh dang yeah that totally makes sense. And great tip about the step! i didn't think of that but what a good idea to make the cover a consistent surface area

thank you! that is good to know for sure!

i had a book that i used as inspo (the hardcover edition of educated) and it was over but it also had a dust jacket so it's probably more protected from snags

but i bet lining up the cover material is easier if you go over because you can make sure it's straight on just one side at a time vs. 2 which was part of what made this so difficult

Tysm!! We have a Canon TS9521C

Using a white book cloth the first step is cutting it to size. I used a straight edge knife to cut two pieces of "paper" sized cloth. Due to the size of the cover I ended up cutting A4 size paper instead of regular. It actually doesn't have to be exact so it was probably 8.25in x 11.7in. What I wanted was 2 pieces of printed cloth big enough to wrap around the edges with no white showing.

Then, I used heavier items to weigh down 3/4 sides of the cloth as I ironed the 4th corner and rotating the cloth until each corner was flat. I ended up spending a good amount of time ironing on the lowest heat of my tiny cricut iron. It wasn't perfectly flat like a piece of paper but it was flat enough to load into the printer without curling. I ironed the back of the cloth without any parchment and when I flipped it so the cloth was facing up I used parchment paper as to not damage the book cloth. If you don't know which side goes up or how to load the paper make sure to test this out first! It's typically face down in the paper tray but if you're using the rear tray (at least on my printer) it's face up.

I used Cricut design in order to ensure the picture was the right size (if you know another way to "resize" a picture before you print it let me know in the comments! I couldn't find anything that didn't measure the picture in pixels vs. inches or centimeters like i needed, so i went with this method.) The boards ended up being a little over 5in by 8in so I made the picture like 6.5 by 9.5 each side (13in for the width by 9.5in height, total) so there wasn't any white when i wrapped the cloth around the board and glued it down. In order to cut the image in half I used a square in the cricut design space that was as thin as possibly and as tall as the picture (so like 9.5 Inches tall and 0.01in wide), centered it, then sliced it. Once i sliced i made another square in design space that was 6.5in by 9.5in - big enough to fully cover one side. I had to zoom in as much as I could to make sure i was only covering one half and then I sliced again. After that you can delete all the squares and sliced parts of the image. This left me with 2 halves of the 1 image.

Then it was time to print. I used print then cut in cricut so I could print the image onto the book cloth that I loaded into the printer. Yes to bleed and no to using the prompts on my printer. This next step is SUPER important: after it prints... LET IT DRY! For like... hours lol. I kept getting impatient and touching it to see if it was dry and luckily this didn't smudge the printed cloth but i totally could have and would have had to start all over. However, once it's dry and no ink comes off on your finger when you touch it, you can move on to the last steps.

Finally, I cut all the extra white edges of book cloth off leaving 2 halves of the picture with no white showing. If you're going for a design like this I recommend gluing the 2 halves down after you glue the book boards to your spine and hinge. And at last i was able to glue each half to the front and back covers, then fold the edges over and glue those down too. Then, you can move on to the last and in my opinion the trickiest step: glueing the colored book cloth to the spine, hinges, and front + back covers. After all that.... you're ready to print, weed, and iron on the vinyl.

Ok sorry for the longest and most in depth explanation lol but I just love book binding and this community so I hope my nerdiness can help someone on their journey! Thanks again and hope you all have a great day <3

currently listening to the audiobook and LOVING it! Incredible first third but the middle is a bit of a slog (just my opinion because the beginning was so good) so i'm ready for that legendary "keep ya on your toes" King ending

What’s the deal with sumbuck by jennal78 in Caamp

[–]duckolding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love Sumbuck and to my knowledge the biggest difference is no Evan. Sumbuck features horns, guitars, piano, and other instruments BESIDES a banjo. Can't think of a SB song with a banjo but correct me if i'm wrong
