This project was so easy! It only cost me $3 for a bag of suede scraps and I will be able to use the rest of them for another project. If you buy a bag of scraps make sure there is a piece large enough to get a 5x7 sheet out of it.
Cut a 5x7 piece and a 3x4 of the leather or suede whatever you have chosen to use.
Using 4 pieces of copy paper fold in half horizontally and cut, now you have 8 pieces. Fold again and cut you now have 16 pieces. Fold another time and do not cut.
Using the longest stitch setting on your machine, sew down the middle of folded paper.
Cut round corners of the 5x7 piece. Position the paper in the middle of the piece of suede and sew again.
Cutting in circles cut a long strip of material out of the 3x4 in piece and sew the middle of the strip to the spin of the book.
Done! So simple and it seems to me this would be an awesome homemade gift for those hard to make for men in your life!
