Measure the pages of the autograph book, to determine the size of your cover. - 2
Cut two pieces of soft suede leather as the front and back cover of the autograph book. Use the measurements from step 1, with an 1/8-inch added to the width and height. For example, if the pages measured 5" x 4", each leather cover would measure 5 1/8" x 4 1/8". - 3
Burn a design into the front cover, using a craft wood burner. Preheat the wood burner as per the manufacturer's instructions. - 4
Punch holes in the end of the leather. These holes must line up with the holes in the paper. Use the tip of an ice pick, or leather puncher. - 5
String a thin leather cord through the covers and pages to bind the book.
