For the watercolor paper, our cover is going to be even smaller. Here I am using the fancier of the file folders. Again, we want the same procedure, we don't have to measure it with numbers. If we don't want, we can just eyeball it by taking our signature holding it up against the side of the file folder. And we're only really super concerned about getting the height. Pretty, pretty accurate.

So here I am, I'm going to make a little indent with my pencil and we'll cut that size and then we'll double check to make sure that it's what we want. Okay. So if I put the signature in, find out it's a nice height. So that's good. Now because we know we're doing two signatures, we're going to have to add an additional score mark. In this file folder.

It's not pre scored, but that's not a problem. You can either use your paper cutter if it has a score mark, or if you don't have a paper cutter, you can just use a straight edge. So what you'll do if you don't have the paper cutter is you'll measure the straight edge. We'll measure it a quarter inch from the original fold and we'll make a line and on the bottom, we'll do the same thing quarter inch from the original fold and make aligned we'll connect those lines and then with our bone folder score that line We'll do this a couple of times. We're not trying to get it right the first score. And what this does is it creases the paper just enough to allow us to fold it.

Here we have a nice solid crease. So after I started the fold, I'll use the bone folder again and score it further. So there we have a tiny little spine. And if we want to use our score here, do the same thing. It's all measure quarter inch from the again the original fold. And most of these paper cutters have marks here.

Of course the mark is covered. But I can see this is the one I want the quarter mark here. I'll make a mark And then I'll move it over to my score bar. And I will take my bone folder and again, I'm not trying to do this on the first score, but I'll just gently bring drag it down, and if I go off track, that's okay because I wasn't going too harsh. I didn't cut a hole through the folder. Just do it a couple times.

And then I'll start the score the fold over my bone folder. So there we have a much thicker spine. Hold it for holding our two signatures. You can see the original fold and then the ones we added. So now we just have to get the width correct. So going up against the spine.

I'm just gonna eyeball it and make a mark Want in the front. And I'll do the same thing with the back again trying to go to the scored line. Don't take it to my paper cutter. We'll double check to make sure it does
