Your notebook should be dry enough for the next step!
We need to glue the fabric to the sides of the notebook now. Run a bead of white glue down the side of the front cover – slightly narrower that the flap of fabric. It should look like this:
Fold the fabric over the glue and smooth it out – make sure there aren’t any bubbles or puckers in the fabric.
Repeat on the back cover.
The book should now look like this when it’s closed:
The fabric is nice and smooth on the front cover, and the book closely flat.
Let the glue dry overnight and we’ll start the next step tomorrow!
