Step 8Wrapping the edges
Ok, now we need to wrap the leather around the edges.
Picture 1 - At the corner cut in at a straight across angle
Picture 2 - Fold the two side edges inwards, again, push the leather around the edge to get a nice fit, hold for a few seconds, the wood glue should now hold it by itself.
Picture 3 - Cut straight down on the top flap, and fold down and glue into place.
Picture 4 - fold the corners over, feel for the edge of the leather underneath using your thumbnail, and mark
Pictures 5, 6 & 7- Cut down the corner along the marks you just made, and glue into place.
Picture 8 - Repeat for the other side, again, place a sheet of paper imbetween the cover and the front page. PLace under some hefty books, of place it in the vice and clamps again. Leave this for at least 1 hour.
