The spine is done and the cover is halfway there.

Here is the completed spine, reinforced with ribbons, fabric, and craft paper.

I also made some wheat paste for the fabric covering.

2 tablespoons wheat flour

2/3 cup water

mix to combine then cook in a pan on the stove, mixing constantly, for ten minutes

Saving all those plastic containers is useful when you need a container for something like this.

Here's the book before covering. I had to cut new book board pieces since the first ones were a bit small.
