We lay out two binding rectangles evenly on the table, and between them a binding strip; now we measure out two narrow strips from cardboard and glue them to both joints of the cover.

Glue and level. We use scissors where the strip bends so that the base is well covered.

We put them together and get these little books. Now we glue the padding polyester onto them with double-sided tape.

Now let's take the fabrics. We combine and cut off the pieces, don’t forget to make extra for the hems. Cut two strips of lace for each notebook.

We iron all the pieces of fabric and sew them together. We sew lace at the joints. Now we wrap the binding blanks with fabric. We smear the edges of the binding base with a glue stick, fold the fabric and glue it. For now we put it aside.

Let's prepare the blocks. For our blocks we need to make colored endpapers from scrap paper. Cut two rectangles and fold each in half to the height and width of the block.We smear the edges near the spine from top to bottom with a glue stick, and glue the endpapers in front and behind the block. Now we cut off strips of white paper, wrap it and glue it in such a way as to glue the top and bottom of the block along with the spine. We clamp the blocks with paper clips and set them aside.

Glue the blocks. Glue the endpapers of the block onto the sides of the cover and you’re done. We clamp with clamps and let it dry. Then we put on the metal corners and the notebooks are ready. Thank you for your attention and good luck to everyone!
