So, first we need to make a hard cover. To do this, we need to connect two sheets of binding cardboard with a strip of white.

![Cover for children's certificate](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/16/1180-oblozhka-dlya-detskogo-svidetelstva.jpg)
We cut a strip of white cardboard 6.5 * 26 cm. We divide this strip into three parts, 3 cm * 0.5 cm and 3 cm, respectively. Now we draw two bending lines under the ruler.

![Cover for children's certificate](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/16/1182-oblozhka-dlya-detskogo-svidetelstva.jpg)
Using a glue stick, glue this strip on both sides of the cardboard, thus connecting the cover into a single whole.

Now we draw lines with scissors so that the cover closes well. Cut the padding polyester onto the open cover.

We have softened the cover, now we take the fabric and cut three pieces.We immediately make provisions for cutting so that we can tuck the fabric later.

![Cover for children's certificate](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/16/1190-oblozhka-dlya-detskogo-svidetelstva.jpg)
We iron the fabric and sew the pieces together. Now we lay it out and place the binding base with the padding polyester down. We smear the edges with a glue stick, wrap the fabric and glue it, carefully wrap the corners.
