Four-Flap Enclosure Workshop Supply List

Find everything you need to follow along with our FREE virtual Four-Flap Enclosure Workshop with Rebecca Elder!

Four-flap enclosures are ideal for books that are too flimsy or fragile to go on shelves unprotected. They're great for pamphlets, paperbacks, and books with detached boards.

With the materials listed below you can make an enclosure for a book that is between 5" and 6" tall and 1/2" to 3/4" thick.

Note: Rebecca recommends the 1/4" wide 3M™ 415 Polyester Double-Sided Tape (part no. 6265A) for this workshop.
