1-after you cut your fabric glue one side first of the book cover lightly and spread it evenly and stick the fabric and press it so that theres no air bubble. do the same to the otter side to . 2-cut the corners in an angle (its the second last pic) so when you fold it itll make a nice corner. 3-glue the edges of the inside of the book and stick the extra fabric by folding it to inside ,repeat it on the both sides of the book . 4-glue the edges of glued fabric lightly and stick the first page on the both sides of the book and let it dry for 15 minutes to half an hour ,and remember to put some thing in between the cover and the pages so it wont get glued to..

Secure,decorate

Reuse and Recycle

you can always reuse the cover by 1- tearing up the used peppers and bunching new ones . 2- recycling the used peppers for gardening or any diy project
