There has been a trend that took the book community by storm: sprayed edges. This isn’t something new that we never saw before, there are a few books editions that have sprayed edges, but suddenly every book worm out there are adventuring themselves into arts and crafts to make their books unique. Since I love books and I love crafts, I couldn’t miss this opportunity. So today, I’m going to spray paint a paperback book!!

And I say tiny because on the spine you can’t fold in or else you would cover the pages, so the tape has to go until the limit of the glue. Step 2. Wrap the entire cover with paper to protect it. Make sure your paper is bigger than the book to be able to fold in all the excess. On the spine, you have to fold the paper back and secure with tape aligning it with the first layer of tape we did before. Note: I had a problem with the tape bleeding the paint into the pages, so make sure you tape down the paper in the inside of the cover and not on the edge. That way the paper will absorb any spray paint and dry quickly, whereas on the tape the paint doesn’t stick and takes longer to dry which gets inside the book. Step 3. If you can, use a weight on top of the book covering it as well to avoid getting it painted. Or use your hand with
