Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Okay, now we're going to pin and place our ribbon for the handle. First we're going to measure and put some pins in. We have our measuring tape here. We'll measure 6 inches and place a pin like that just to mark it. Then 7 1/2 inches like this. Then we'll measure...I think it's 10 inches. 10 inches. It's supposed to be the width of the book when it's folded. We'll be marking that off, and then 7 1/2 inches for the next handle. Now, we're going to measure and just mark with pins 2 1/2 inches here. This is where we'll be folding it down to hold our book in. We're just going to mark it right now. 2 1/2 inches. I'm just going to mark with pins because I don't want to leave any marking on it. 2 1/2 inches here and here. Then on the other side also mark 2 1/2 inches. Just put the pins in just to mark it.
