The Cover
cut your cardboard to the size you would like.
The Cover Design
Add two colours of paint and blend them together to create an ombre effect. You can keep yours in the corner like I did or cover the whole cover.
Once your paint is dry you can draw your design on the book with a sharpie or any marker.

The Paper
You want to make sure that every piece of paper is exactly the same size. Cut the paper so that there is a boarder all the way around the cover of at least half a centimeter
The Spine
Add three holes using pins. Thread the cotton onto the needle and begin sewing threw the cover and the paper.
Basically just sew it all together.
