How to Pin a Handle on a Paperback Book Caddy: Pt. 1

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Okay, now we'll place our ribbon handle. We've sewed our Velcro on all 4 corners. I'm just going to fold those in now on each other like that. That's what's going to hold our book and flip it over like that. It'll be helpful to put some pins into our ribbon before we start. First, measure 6 inches on your ribbon and place a pin. Then measure 7 1/2 inches right there and place another pin. Now, you want to measure the length of our book cover from the folded edge to the folded edge, and we'll place another pin. Now, measure again 7 1/2 inches and place the last pin there. Okay, now let's start our placement. Put your first pin right on the edge of the folded book cover and 2 inches from the side edge to the side edge of the ribbon. You want to pin that in place without going through all thicknesses. So you can put your finger in behind there like that. Don't put it through all the thicknesses. Then this end here we also want it to be 2 inches from the edge and pin that in place like that."
