Last summer I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Anna Marie McLemore's queer trans gatsby retelling, Self Made Boys. The cover was fairly bland in comparison to the published cover so giving this baby a rebind was one of my first binderary projects!

I of course didn't want to lose the original cover with the "exclusive" sticker on it so I made a little pocket in the back to keep it in.

The only thing its missing now is the title on the spine which I will hopefully be printing once I have access to a cricut at my local library and maybe some cute corner protectors.

you know, it’s more the being unknown

something something turns out the person who you’ve known your entire existence doesn’t understand you on a base level 😭

another binderary project!

cool things about this baby:

💕 my first perfect bind!!

💕 used my handmade paper

💕 everything used to make it (save for the glue) was a recycled or repurposed material!!
