Step 4Glue the Spine
Now we need to glue the spine.
Picture 1 - Cut out a section of material the same height as your pages, draw on the where the spine will sit (take measurements from the stitching stage) Leave about 40-50mm on either side as flaps.
Pictures 2 & 3 - Take your wood glue (pva), and smear it all over the spine of your book. Leaving the fabric sat on the table, carefully place the book spine down onto the section drawn previously. Run your fingers up and down the spine to get the fabric stuck, add another layer of wood glue ontop of the fabric also.
Picture 4 - Make sure the fabric is tight, and hold in place with the clamps, or under some books (clamps work better, as you can end up with glue all over your books, or the books sticking and causing a mess)
Picture 5 - Leave this to dry for about 30min - 1 hours, you should have a result like this picture.
