Book binding...



actually loved this. probably because I got to be crafty for the day.
sort of guide as how we made it;
- took 9 pieces of paper and grouped them into 3 sections
- folded the paper in half
- stacked the sections and sewed them around strips of material ensuring it was tightly pulled
- put pva glue down the spine, in layers, filling in the gaps
- pva a strip of material along the spine
- measure and cut card for the front and back cover and spine
- wrap the card in the textured material
- use the front and back paper to attach the cover to the book with pva glue

I realise they aren't the most comprehensive of instructions but it's enough to remind me of the process...
