Instructions
- Cover your book with artwork and pictures. Be creative!
- Add your Animal Squad name label.
- Measure and cut the book covering to the correct size – about 10 cm extra on each side of your book.
- Open your book and place onto the book covering sheet.
- Cut covering in the centre to where it meets the spine of the book. Make a half-diamond cut out, the point of the diamond touching the spine of your book.
- Cut each corner off diagonally.
- Peel a small section of the covering material off and place the book on top. Fold the overlap down.
- Turn the book over and slide your ruler along the book to remove the cover peel. Stop when you reach the book’s spine. Flip and fold the remaining overlap.
- Use your ruler to remove any air bubbles.
- Repeat on the other side of the book.
- Finished!
