• Print off the pattern on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
• Working one book band shape at a time, cut around each of the individual pattern pieces.
• Place the pattern over the denim and cut the pieces out along the solid line.
• Cut a piece of elastic 9” long for a smaller bookband or at 18” for a bigger elastic bookand.

Assembling the Elastic Book Band

• Glue the ends of the elastic on to the top side of one larger cut out shape, avoid twisting the elastic. Once glued, it will form a large loop.
• Stack the remaining pieces so that the smallest piece is on the top rotating the direction for each layer and sandwich the elastic in between.
• Use the hot glue gun to glue the layers together in the center.
• Wrap the elastic around a book to hold your place.
