how-to of the day - fabric covered notebooks, part I’m not sure…

by Chloe on August 19th, 2008

 Okay, let’s get back to this poor, neglected covered notebook!  When we last saw our notebook, the edges were glued down, but the corners were still loose.  Our next step is to glue them down.

To begin, fold back the fabric on the corner of the book and cover the fabric underneath with glue:

 Now fold the loose piece of fabric in half, like this:

 And press it smoothly into the glue, so it looks like this:

 Use clothespins or clips to clip the glued corners closed until they’ve dried - so your book will now look like this:

Never fear - we’ll take off the clips in our next step :-)
