Protect Your Books! - Build a Slipcase that Lasts

Video Description

Hello Everyone, In this video, I’ll show you how to make a Slipcase, a simple box to protect a special book. We’ll start by lining the boards with paper, then build the shape step by step, and finish by covering it with bookbinding cloth. This is a great project if you’re just getting into bookbinding or paper crafts. You don’t need fancy tools—just some care and patience. Follow along and make something beautiful that’s built to last!
