Preparation tools: A4 paper, scissors, ruler, brush, a cotton thread about 50cm long, thick sewing needle and double-sided adhesive tape.
1. Make the inside pages of the book, and fold A4 paper in half for three consecutive times.
2. After folding, cut off the two thin lines at the top and right to get an openable booklet of 16 pages.
3. To bind the inside pages of the book, we turn the booklet from the middle two pages to the back, mark four pages with equal distance on the dotted line, put on a needle and thread, and insert it from the back 1, paying attention to leaving about 10cm at the end. Then, we put the needle and thread through No.2, No.3, No.4, No.3 and No.2 in turn, and the last one was typed at 2 o'clock with the thread just reserved.
4. Make the back cover of the book and cut out a piece of cardboard for the cover. Pay attention to this cardboard. The expanded booklet is one size larger, and each side is about 1-2m wider than the side of the booklet. Then, stick the cardboard with double-sided tape to pages 1 and 16 of the booklet.
5. 1 page is stuck on the cover of the book. The second and third pages after opening are the front ring lining of the book. The front lining of many picture books is also telling stories.
6. Page 4 is a "copyright page", which usually contains publishing information. The fifth page is the "title page", which is usually very similar to the cover, with the title, author, publisher name and so on.
7. This is our own little picture book. Let's design a character image for ourselves first.
