love this!! I was so sad I missed out on the sprayed edges but now I'm not anymore!! Especially when it's so EASY to DIY!!! I'm definitely going to do this with my other books that I've been wanting sprayed edges of as well!!!

I'm here because I just pre-ordered the 3rd book yesterday in the special edition. I've never bought one a special edition book with sprayed edges so I'm excited haha. But I bought the first 2 at walmart with plain edges. So I'm definitely going to be doing this! And to other books as well!

It turned out great. Looks like you bought it that way. I've been wanting to do this with some of the books as well. While I'm willing to pay for someone else putting in the time and effort I think some of the pricing is too high (plus shipping on top of that) and in the long run it would be less expensive for me to learn how to do it myself. Thank you for showing us how it can be done. Take care.

@angelazhou7321 10 ай бұрын

Thank you so so so much for making this in-depth tutorial! Everyone else gatekeeps how they make their stencils and do the sprayed edges, so this was much appreciated!! Do you think for more intricate stencils that you would need to use transfer tape to apply the stencil onto the book edges?

@TorisBookmarks 10 ай бұрын

Thank you!! Yeah you probably would need to use a transfer tape. My concern for more intricate stencils would be them not sticking down well enough all the way around causing the spray paint to get under and distorting the design. Transfer tape may keep this from happening but in general, nothing adhesive likes to stick to book pages very well.

Or are there any other problems that would deter me from doing this with some of my books?

I measured the thickness of the book first, and then when picking the size for the stencil, I left about 1/4 inch on both sides so it wouldn't touch the edges. The exact size will be personal preference, you just want it smaller than the thickness of the book pages when pressed shut
