Glue book
Before you learn how to make a book for dolls, you need to prepare materials:

- Paper napkin.
- PVA glue.
- Cardboard.
- Cover material (leather, fabric, paper, foil, etc.).
- Paints.
- Ruler.
- Pencil.
- Scissors.
What do we have to do:
- From the paper, cut the pages of the required size (about 1.5 by 2 centimeters).
- Put them together to form a book. Coat the future crust with glue and apply a piece of cloth.
- Make cardboard cover details out of cardboard. Two large rectangles the size of the book itself and one small the size of a crust.
- From the material prepared for the cover, cut the pieces 3-5 mm more than the prepared cardboard. Leave a small gap between the cover and the crust so that the book can open and close. Glue the protruding parts inwards.
- Make an flyleaf, for this you need to cut out two rectangles the size of a book from paper, bend them both in half and stick one side of each rectangle on the inside of the cover so that the second side can then be glued to the main sheets.
