For the front and back pages you will need to measure your book again. Things might only have slightly changed, but every mm will be important now. My book came out to 16.1cm by 14.3cm in the end. For the front and back pages you have to double the length of the book, so in my case 16.1 times two. the 14.3 stays the same. Cut two pieces of paper in this size. You can use the same paper you have for the pages, or use different coloured paper, whatever you like.

Once you have your two pieces of paper, fold them in the middle.

Now add the front page. To do that, you apply some glue on the usual spot, the folded over narrow paper. on there you put your front page.
The back is a bit trickier because you don't have any guidance on how much glue you can put on there. What I do is basically just imagine a 1cm line on the back at the binding, apply glue on it and then stick the back on.
