CLIPPING CASE.
Follow the directions for making the cover of the "Blank Book with Paper Cover Re-inforced with Cloth," [page 104]. The envelopes take the place of the sheets of paper and are fastened in place as follows:
1. On the back and front of the envelopes draw a line parallel to and one-half inch from the bottom.
2. Fold a strip of book-cloth one inch by nine and one-half inches through the center the long way.
3. Glue one-half of this folded strip to the half-inch below the line on the back of one envelope and the other half to the half-inch below the line on the front of another envelope. Continue thus until the four envelopes are fastened together.
4. Glue half of a strip of the cloth to the front of the first envelope and the other half to the front of the cover to hold in the desired position. Do the same at the back.
5. Glue in the lining papers on the covers.
The outside may be decorated as desired.
