This week I came across a post over at Ohdeedoh on how to make custom hardcover books out of old paperbacks using cotton fabric and some labels I made as a free downloadable last year. One of their contributers, Katie Steuernagle cleverly printed my labels directly onto fabric-covered cardstock, and then proceeded to cover the book. Click here to get all of the directions and here to access my labels. Thanks Katie, great idea!

Well this is fantastic for personalised gifts or just a notebook for yourself (as who doesn't love to collect notebooks). Thanks for sharing :) Will definitely be wanting to make some of these!
This is a great and doable project. I'd love to try it!
Love this idea :)
Lovely idea! Those Ramona books were my fave when I was little.
This post is so cool! Now I wish I was the crafty type. Love it.
Love those colors really pretty
Love your blog really cute
such a great idea! i'm definitely going to have to try it.
when i was little and our paperbacks wore out my mother, who is an amazing artist, would draw new covers for them. it's wonderful to be able to make something new again and beautiful in a whole new way.
How fantastic! I just love this idea! Now I have a project for rainy days in winter. :)
Hi Jan! Thank YOU so much for the adorable labels! I was so happy when I downloaded them to see how high res they are. Absolutely gorgeous! They printed beautifully onto the fabric.
Best wishes,
Katie Steuernagle
