Step 3Cover the Back Cover
Starting with the back cover (because it is easier without the accent to get you warmed up to glue...) lay your cardboard on the paper you want to cover it with. Add a 3/4 inch border so you can fold the extra big edges onto the other side. Then trace the board in the center of the paper for gluing and lining up purposes.
Now comes the part that makes covering the book look nice. Cut off the corners at an angle in. I will explain that also in a different way: Cut and acute angle at the corners so the paper does not bunch up when folded over the sides. The picture should explain that pretty well.
Then, as you did before, lay out to glue and then glue! make sure everything is centered. To glue this piece you want to spray the glue on the paper, lay the cardboard on it and then fold the sides over. the last picture has something else in it that you will learn later, but you can see how it looks from the inside.
