Is your illustrating Bible a little too chunky? I knew mine definitely would be if I added enough medium to the pages so I decided to rebind my Bible and split it into two halves. The whole process takes about an hour and is very simple to do with only a few tools.

Need some coils? Check out my Etsy shop and I'll send them right to you!

Once bound, I decorated the cover for the second half of my Bible and covered it in masking tape on both sides. You can laminate the material before hand if you have a laminator big enough!

Cover measurements: 9.75" x 9.5"
Measuring tape edge (for hole line up on cover) 1/8" from edge
