Hello friends!
I hope you enjoy this video where I show you how to take an ugly book and make it look pretty and vintage! :) Spring and summer + books means light academia aesthetic for me, so that's the theme I went for with these two. Have you read either of them? How do you feel about book covers? Do you care whether they're pretty or not? I'd love to hear your thoughts! :)

I learned how to make my books beautiful because of Cozykitsune here on youtube. She has an amazing video going into even more depth about how to do this, so definitely go check her out! She's amazing! :)

"Sometimes I don't get a book because the cover is ugly. I know it's bad but I do sometimes" I understand that on a deep level haha. 🤣🙈

I can't imagine anyone skipping the book haul. I love hearing about the books!

[elizabethtran]

tbh the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" applies to everything except book covers tehe 😂

For someone who “isn’t an artist, ” you did great on the cover art! I’m an artist and I say you did an awesome job. 🎨

[VeronicaViccora]

I like the rebuttal a friend of mine uses in regard to book covers: whenever someone says “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” he says “well you also can’t read every book…”

I think there’s something to a magical looking book and these are, indeed, quite magical<3

My daughter gets books instead of cards for her birthday- this has seriously inspired me to recreate the outsider covers special for her too!

My senior thesis class was about book publishing. The best thing my professor taught me: There is an entire marketing team behind each book cover; they are works of art made to be critiqued by the consumer. If you like a book and don't like the cover, the marketing team did not do their job.

Also, I just love your book covers!! You really should have gone into book publishing.

Covers attract me to a book, the first paragraph let’s me know if I’m going to purchase it(if I’m at a bookstore). I particularly love books I find at antique stores!

Oh you make them look so Princesscore 💌

i was about to sleep since it's 1 AM here already, but i couldn't refrain myself from watching this immediately 🤧 honestly, tending to a book for it to "look pretty" doesn't just mean beautifying them, but it is also a form of expression in which love and care could be conveyed 🖤 (when we love something so much, we want them to last longer with us - to feel that they're a part of us so... 🙌)

Your hair looks so heavenly in this video, I love it! I always add so many books to my TBR when watching your videos, I keep having to pause after you show each book haha!

[jeannehicks]

In my opinion--people who don't get giddy over books are weird. Love you. Love your channel.

[luannecrawfordtv]

Thank you so much for the inspiration! I just redid a guestbook for my daughters baby showers.

I'm definitely going to look into What the Wind Knows. My mom is always looking for good time travel books, and that one sounds like it would be a great fit for her. I think this book craft would be great for decorating a bookish tea party wedding. Just pick up some cheap books from thrift store or library sale, have a crafting afternoon with your friends, and then you have some adorable, inexpensive table decor.

the books turned out gorgeous!! those of us who are too afraid to do something permanent but still want the vibes to a book can also make book jackets! it will still look great on the shelf, but it will also be reversible!
(i still can't even write in a book lol)

OMG THE DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST IS ONE OF MY FAVE BOOKS OF ALL TIME

[adaagreste]

The books were so gorgeous!!
I love the boom hauls! I don't know why someone would skip it, it's so practical too!
I tend to do screenshots of every book you describe, so that later I can read it

[LadyMaireSD]

Not only I have a new project that I need to make as soon as possible, but now I also have a longer TBR. And I'm not complaining.
The diy could be a great Christmas gift too for a friend that loves books

OMG 2 POSTS IN A WEEK??? IM SO HAPPY RN SJDBDBDB gonna make me a snack and cuddle up in bed to watch this

[ansleyvangorkom]

I dropped everything to watch this, because your videos always make my day. I also recently got the most beautiful teacups from my Grandma and was once again inspired to redecorate my room a little bit like yours!
