If I'm using an old children's book for the cover of a notebook, how do I finish off the cut edge on the book?

Sometimes I finish off with colorful duct tape. Most the time I just clean up the edges with my cutting board or a rotary cutter.

You can bind smaller pages. you would need to cut off the excess comb. A heavy pair of scissors should work fine.

You need to buy sandpaper. Buy standard full size sheets and you can cut it into four pieces. That's usually much cheaper than buying the precut 1/4 sheet paper.

We did not use the entire length of the desk top cover, so we cut a matching curve at one corner of the cover. We marked the corner and used a heavy duty pair of scissors, like kitchen shears. We also marked and cut a straight line across the side and back with ease in just a couple of minutes. We tried using the knife and snapping method, but it was very difficult to keep the line straight to cut the first scoring even using the aluminum square. We were a little nervous too when we first got out the scissors, but if you are not sureif the scissors you a using are going to work, just try to make a cut on the part you are not using as a cover.

I can offer an educated guess for a response. You should probably use a piece of linen and some fabric glue (from a fabric or crafts store). This tape is strong stuff, but it's made for reinforcing the cover hinges of books, not for restoring artwork. If you don't position it correctly, pulling it off will make the damage worse.

Yes with a cutting wheel and finish it off with a file and sand paper. Good luck

Attach the plastic cover to the surface. The pocket for the paper label is the space between the cover and the surface. Slide the label into the end with the cut-out semicircle.

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

This is clear "sticky paper" so when you cut it in half and peel the backing away, you will place your object on the sticky surface. Then you will peel the backing away on the second (half) piece and place that right on top (sticky side down) of the first piece with the object now sandwiched between the two laminating layers. Press the entire surface firmly and then trim the excess to about 1/8" of the object's edge. God bless your project.

I would suggest cutting from the extra end, since your other option is to get a wider cover which is more costly.

Not sure. I painted mine, but best guess is that the old paper would show through.

what you can do is take a graphite pencil and write on the cover and see if it shows up. Ive only used this on paper so i'm not sure of what other surfaces it will work on

I cut the paper as close to the size of the drawer or shelf as possible. Then I rolled it backwards from the way it came off the roll to take out the roll memory and get it to lay pretty flat. Once in and I put the items back into the drawer or shelf, the weight of the items tends to keep the paper in place.

If the cover is a shinny, hard leather, it should be fine. You put it on and wait and let it dry. Then, next day rub a slot cloth over it. If it is a soft doeskin-type leather maybe not. I use mine on antique leather bound books and have never had a problem. However, they are 100+ Yrs old,

I believe I cut it off with tin snips. A heavy-duty pair of scissors should work.

I do not- however, I have purchased all of my kids book covers from the original book sox- and they have a wide variety of quality covers- should be able to find what you need in those sizes.

I had a similar problem on an old frame. I always tape the edges of my needle point projects using artist's tape to protect them and help keep their shape. On an old frame I had, I would also run a strip of tape half on the dowel and half on the taped edging of my project (so the project was adhered to the dowel) then start the roll and apply the clamp then complete the rolling process (I would do this with both dowels). This provided just enough adherence to the dowels to keep things from slipping, but it was still easy to remove when done. I used artist's tape because it is archival and does not leave behind residue that will discolor the fabric over time. I have not set up on my Edmund's frame yet, so this is only a speculative suggestion that may or may not work on it.
