journal cover elastic

Here's a closer look at the steps to threading the elastic on your journal cover. Rotate it so the top edge is on the left and bottom edge on the right. The inside of the cover is facing up and the holes you punched with the Kit 5 tool will be in this orientation:

String in this order:
up D, down C
up A, down B
up E, down C
up F, down G
up E, down D
Adjust the the elastic so that your end pieces are roughly equal in length. Flip the cover around and knot at D. Knot again around 100mm along the elastic so that it can be stretched around the cover holding it closed.
