  Step 1

  Gather your supplies!
  You'll need-
  24inches of ribbon (less depending on the size of your book)
  Hot Glue Gun
  Needle and Thread
  Button(s)
  Pencil or Pen
  Scissors and Ruler

• 

  Step 2

  Start buy gluing your hair elastic to the ribbon. About 1 inch from the end,=.

  If it has a connector bit, like mine in the picture, you want to cover that part with the ribbon.

• 

  Step 3

  Then fold the short end of the ribbon over the elastic and glue the end down so it lays flat.

• 

  Step 4

  To find out how much ribbon you'll need, open the book, place the ribbon midway through the book, close it, put the elastic around the tip of a pencil/pen and stretch the elastic up to the other end of the ribbon and make a mark where the button should go.

  You want to find a good spot for the button, don't make your elastic stretch too much that it is hard to stretch, but you don't want it too loose that it might fall out.

• 

  Step 5

  Take the ribbon off the book and trim the long end 1-2 inches from the mark you made.

  Sew your button on where you made your mark.

• 

  Step 6

  Add hot glue to the end and fold it across the knot where you sewed on the button.

• 

  Step 7

  Voila! Your done :)

  Enjoy <3
