How to Apply Lower Tape for Book Binding

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Gary for Expert Village. We go ahead and do that as well to the bottom of the book. It is going to be a little tricky over here because we see the binder is coming off so we won't get as clean of a look as we did on top but let's see what we can do. I am going to rip the tape again and we'll do the same thing; put it over the edge, hold it down, take our snip its into the side there so we are going to fold it down easier. Now we will open it up, we'll fold this part down here, bringing the middle up, folding the side and open up this side. With this we don't have the back of the book to tuck it in but I am just going to open up cover to make it a little looser. I am going to try and separate the pages from the yellow ribbon that holds it together just from the top. You can see there is a little bit of a space there and that is the space that I am going to use to tuck in the tape. I am going to put it right in between that ribbon and I am going to put it right in between the ribbon and the pages. It's going to be a little bit hard but it will go in and just be careful you don't won't to rip off the pages. Just want to tuck it in to give it that clean look we had on the top. So there we have it tucked in a little bit, we've separated it and now when we close it, we have a nice clean look without any tape hanging over the sides. "
