Step 4
Bring the top portion of the paper down toward the bottom of the book. Make a crease at the top of the book when the paper is pulled down. Take the book off the paper.

Step 5
Fold the bottom portion of the paper upward, and bring the top portion of the paper down. Put the book back onto the paper.

Step 6
Center the book and wrap the paper over the top. Start with the left portion first, and then the right.

Step 7
Fold the top portion of the paper that is above the top of the book down and make a crease. Put the front cover of the book into the crease you have created.
-
Step 8
Fold the bottom portion of the paper that is below the book up and make a crease. Insert the back cover into the crease.

Step 9
Tape the front and back covers to the book with a few small pieces of tape. Two pieces of tape on each side should hold the book cover in place.
