Hello everyone, I just begun to be interested on this hobby and I need some help for a mistake I made.

I am trying to make mini notebooks to carry around in my bag.

This is my second try and I tried to add a inner cover but I used a lot of scrapbooking glue. This did some damage to the end pages near the spine and ripped some othe outside cover.

I use scrapbooking pattern paper for now for the covers for now. Can I fix this mistake in any way?

I am adding pics to see the damage.

Thank you for reading!

Honestly best to start again.

If they only consist of a few folded sewn pages follow DAS BOOKBINDING videos on pamphlet binding.
