Instructions:

1. Start by measuring your naked cover and choosing paper or fabric. Once it’s measures cut the paper down to fit leaving a 1” border around all sides. Trim the corners away to make good folding corners.
    
2. Next add a layer of Mod Podge and using either your hand or a Brayer smooth the paper onto the cover.
    
3. Fold the flap over also using Mod Podge and hold to secure. Add a thick layer of Mod Podge over the top and layer more paper or embellishments from there.
    
4. Each layer should get a little Mod Podge and in the end cover the entire thing and let air dry for about ½ hour.
