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

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
