Directions for Assembling the Book Covers
GATHER SUPPLIES
To make the covers you will need two 4.25" x 2.75" pieces of chipboard, two 5.5" x 4" pieces of black construction paper, a glue stick, and a pair of scissors.
ATTACH PAPER
Glue your chipboard in the center of your construction paper.
SNIP CORNERS
Snip off the corners of the paper at a 45° angle. Be sure to leave a small space between the chipboard corners and the new paper edge. Do not cut right to the board, or leave too much space.
FOLD
Fold down one side of your paper. Then apply glue to the side of the chipboard and the paper flap. Fold over and smooth it into place. Repeat on the side opposite of the original fold.
PUSH CORNERS
Use your finger to push in the corner pocket made from folding over the paper. Do this to all four corner pockets.
REPEAT
Repeat the folding and glueing process on the remaining two sides. The paper should now be securely and neatly attached.
DECORATE
Use white, black, gray, silver and/or gold media to decorate the covers of your book. This can be done in colored pencils, sharpies, crayons, etc.
