Sew each of the two folios, using the diagram as an illustration.

Make the Cover.

11_hide_6.jpg

Cut a sheet of heavy cover paper, 11.375" (11 3/8") by 4.5" (4 1/2')

(I cut down 12" scrapbooking paper when I have it. Otherwise, you can cut 8.5 x 11 heavy paper for a slightly smaller cover. After the folios have been glued, you will need to trim the page edges, unless you can live with the overhang!)

Fold so that there is a 3/8" spine in the center.

Place a strip of hot glue (yellow) slightly to one side from the center. (NOTE: The diagram is for a single-folio book. This book has two folios, so there will be two strips of glue.)

Place Folios Into the Spine.

Fold the cover (red) as shown.

Place the first folio into the cover and press against the hot glue (blue dot).

Open. Put a second strip of hot glue (second blue dot).

Place the second folio into the cover.

Trim the cover if necessary.

(Optional) Make the Magnetic Figures.
