Turning My Book into a HARDCOVER 📚 | I spent 3 days on this lmao

the hyperfixations won & it was 100% worth it lmao

I made my book from scratch! First from my brain, and second with my hands!!! Watch me try my hand at bookbinding (as an impatient autistic person who spent an entire weekend thinking about this back in December before finally giving in and doing it lmao)!

Was super inspired to do this after watching this video from @JessLess who is much better at bookbinding than me lol! https://youtu.be/y3jae1cuvSo
