1. Select two pages from maps/magazines to use for your covers. (5 min.) **Put up the magazines and pass out other supplies.**
 * INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE BOOK:**

2. Place the card on the opposite side of your picture, then trace the card making a square on the page. Repeat with the other page.

3. You now have a square drawn on each of you magazine pages, now you need to use the ruler to make another square around that square a ½ an inch bigger on all sides. Repeat with the other page.

4. Now cut out the square along the lines you just made. Repeat with the other page.

5. Next cut a slit in each corner of the square from the outside square to the inside square.

6. Take your square white card and put glue on one side then place it in the center of the inside square. Repeat with the other page. Then apply glue to the magazine paper hanging off the edge of the square and fold it on to the card. DO that on each side and cut off excess paper.

7. Take one sheet of 7x7 square white paper and fold it in half, open it and then fold it in half the other way and open it. Next TURN IT OVER, and fold it diagonally then open it, lay it on the table with the diagonal fold up and the corners of the paper pointing down. Press your finger into the center of the paper where all the folds cross and it will buckle, then bring the corners toward each other and flatten the paper making a folded square. Repeat with all the other pages.

8. Now take one folded square and place glue on the inside over one of the squares that is created by the folds. Then take another folded square and place it square to square facing opposite directions. Repeat with the other pages until they are all glued together.

9. Take one square card and place your picture faced down, then apply glue to it and lay the yard across the card. Now take your folded papers that are all glued together and place them on the card OVER the yard. Apply some pressure.

10. Finally glue the other card on top of the folded paper completing your folded book.
