THE BOOKMARKS
IN THIS STEP WE WILL USE THE PIECE OF THE CARDBOARD FILE WITH THE SAME LENGTH AND WIDTH WITH OUR BOOK'S SPINE, THAT WE KEPT FROM THE 1ST STEP.
WE HAVE ALREADY PAINTED THIS PIECE TO LOOK LIKE THE REST OF THE BOOK.
WE HAVE ALREADY PAINTED THIS PIECE TO LOOK LIKE THE REST OF THE BOOK.
SO, WE SUPERGLUE THE RIBBONS AT THE SPINE OF THE BOOK AND THEN WE GLUE ON TOP OF THEM THE SECOND "SPINE" AS SHOWN ABOVE IN THE SLIDESHOW.
BINDING OUR PAGES
FIRST OF ALL, GATHER YOUR PAGES. MAKE A BEAUTIFUL FIRST PAGE WITH AN INCATATION WRITTEN ON IT (AS THE ONE AT THE LEFT OF THE PICTURE ABOVE).
THEN, MAKE THE ENDPAPERS (The endpapers or end-papers of a book are the pages that consist of a double-size sheet folded, with one half pasted against an inside cover, and the other serving as the first free page. Thus, the front endpapers precede the title page and the text, whereas the back endpapers follow the text {FROM WIKIPEDIA}).
TO MAKE MY ENDPAPERS I SIMPLY PAINTED FOUR PAGES A NICE, RICH GOLD COLOR WHICH SHINES WHEN IT IS PLACED UNDER A LIGHT SOURCE

AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE YOUR PAGES. (KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MAY HAVE MORE OR LESS PAGES THAN I DID)
FOR YOUR BOOKS BODY (PAGES STRUCTURE) FOLLOW THE CHART BELOW
NOW THAT YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE BINDIND STRUCTURE, WATCH THE NEXT SLIDESHOW TO SEE HOW TO BIND YOUR PAGES. (THE FOLLOWING BROCEDURE CONCERNES THE FIRST STEP, IN WHICH WE MAKE BOOKLETS OF SEVEN PAGES. ON THE SAME BASIS WE BIND THE REST OF THE BOOK'S PAGES).
THE TWO FINAL BOOKLETS
I don;t own the design of the pic shown above, it;s a handpainted page resembling one of the charmed book of shadows.
