You can use anything, i just took fabric and folded it in thirds, like you were making a bias binding, sewed down the middle with decorative stitch. then stitched it to the outside of the cover. Hope this helps you. If not let me know.

I like the idea that you used a snap to keep it closed while not being read. I hate pulling a paperback out of my bag only to find it all twisted or bent up. Great tute! You did a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing.
