To start the cover of my "A Lot To Do About Nothing" book I collected some materials, cardboard folders, craft glue, gold leaf, elastic etc...
To start I took apart the folder and using a measuring tape and pencil i cut the card to the correct size for my book, leaving 1cm extra either side of the pages. The folder has some grooves molded into that helps the flap overlap the pages, as the folder fills, it can be bent to accomodate the extra content. These grooves were very usefull to me as the card bent to form a spine for the cover of my book.
Now that the cover is in its basic form it's just a matter of jazzing up the little bugger (:
