I have several small counted cross stitches my Mother started but didn't finish. I decided to finish them but wasn't sure how to use the. Then I saw a facebook post by Bep van Gasteren who uses counted cross stitch on the covers of her books.
I followed her post to make a small book with a counted cross stitch butterfly on the cover. Below are all the pieces for the book:
I prepared the book cover: Cutting a hole in the center of the front cover. Attaching the reinforced counted cross stitch. Punching the spine.
I prepared the book pages: Cutting the paper. Folding the signatures. Cutting front and back signature covers. Punching the six Signatures using 2 guides.
I assembled the book using Keith Smith "arrow" binding for 3 signatures.
I am happy with how this first little book turned out.
