6. Glue the 5¼x8¾” Inside Spine Cover to the inside of the book cover, aligning the edges with the outside spine cover and centering from top to bottom. Gently exercise the hinges at the spine.
Making the Tri-Fold Sections1. Identify the four 7½x8¾” Right and Left Wing

2. Score each 9x6¾” Bottom Wing Paper horizontally at 1”. Fold and burnish the score lines.
3. Score 1” from each outer edge of the 8¼x9½” Slider Pocket Papers. Cut the squares that are formed by the intersecting score lines from the two upper corners. Cut the remaining two corners at a slight obtuse angle.
4. Score the 6x8¼” Slider Papers horizontally at 1”. Fold and burnish the score lines.
5. Temporarily arrange the papers for one tri-fold section. Place one 6 ⅞x8¾” Back Paper vertically on your work surface. Arrange one left and right wing on each side and a bottom wing beneath. Glue the 1” wing flaps into place onto the back side of the center paper, starting with the left and right wings.
6. Fold in the flaps of the scored pocket paper, starting with the short square flap first. Next, fold in the two long flaps, and tack the last angle cut short flap to the long flaps with a small dab of glue in each corner. Brush glue onto the three 1” flaps and attach to the back side of the bottom wing
