EXERCISE 13. MAGAZINE COVER IN HALF BINDING Method of Construction. 1. Cut two boards of l j lb. or 2 lb. strawboard, each 1 in. longer and | in. wider than the magazine which the cover is to enclose. 2. Draw a line on each, parallel to a long side and one-fifth the width of the board away from it. 3. Cut out a paper pattern for a corner, one-fifth the width of the boards in addition to the | in. required for turning—Fig. 1. 4. Using this pattern, cut out four cloth corner pieces—Fig. 2. Glue these and cover two corners of each board. 5. Cut a piece of paper as long as the boards and as wide as the thickness of the magazine—Fig. 3. This is called a “ hollow.” 6. Cut a piece of cloth 1 in. longer than the boards and the width shown in Fig. 3. 7. Glue the cloth. Place the boards in position so th at the lines drawn on them are in line with the edge of the cloth. Place the paper strip, or “ hollow,” between them as in Fig. 3, turn over the lap at top and bottom and rub well down. 8. Cut another piece of cloth wide enough to overlap | in. only on the boards, and long enough to reach to within | in. of the top and bottom —Fig. 4. 9. Glue this piece and fix it over the joint on the inside, rubbing it down well between the boards. 10. Cover each board with a suitable paper, allowing it to overlap about 1/16 in. on the cloth at the corners and back, and wrap-over | in. on the inside—Fig. 5. 11. Line the inside with paper overlapping the cloth down the middle | in. and reaching to within | in. of the sides. 12. Punch holes J in. from the head and tail and fix eyelets. 13. Tie a piece of coloured cord round the back and through the holes to hold the magazine in place. 14. Neatly print the name of the magazine on the cover.
