Update! It's all done~ I may not be happy with the book block entirely, but wow I did so well with the elastic, and I love the colours too 👀

It's rather difficult to bind the book this way too, the covers aren't really well aligned. Next time when I do something similar it will be with coptic stitch with a new tool I'll be getting (excited!), which should align the covers a lot better.

And lastly, a soft cover notebook. I'm no good at painting, so all I painted was a simple pattern. Regardless, I loved how this turned out too. It's my second book that I've bound so far, and I already have quite a few bookbinding projects planned! 

(Also, most of my Christmas presents to others turned out blue-ish just out of coincidence 😂)
