1. 

   

   First of all get all your stuff ready, that is stated in the list~

2. 

   

   Cut a rectangle out ,I did it 29cm across and 19.5cm down. But you can do what ever measurements you like to fit the wanted size




3. 

   

   Measure out a 1cm margine in the middle of the card and fol either sides of the cm so it looks like this taco looking thing in the picture~ <<

4. 

   

   Then ,You'll need paper to write on of course
   Cut as much paper out as you need to the size of your front cover card peice ,But remember to take atleast half a cm off the ends of the inside paper so it doesn't stick out when you close the book then put it to the side you wont need to put it in just yet.




5. 

   

   Next you have to select what covering you want for the outside of your book ,I've got this really super cute printed paper with little pictures on. But you can do whatever you want with the covering You can draw ,paint it or whatevr you want to decorate it like ,any different choices of paper.

6. 

   

   then you have to sick it on to the card ,I used sticky tape since it's the only sticky thing i couuld find at the time but glue and anything else sticky will also work fine ,now leave about a cm of covering paper at the edge to fold it over the corners and edges of the card too.

7. 

   

   And you're done Fold the margine again to make it more ajustable and put the folded inner paper in the middle ,I've made a two wholes side by side through the whole book near the edge to fasten it all together with ribbon. but you could also try it with rope or string make sure it's sterdy an in place an you're finished ^^
   
   Fill the book with your own creativeness ideas and art*~
