Making the book cover, start with a rectangle just a little over twice as wide and twice as tall as the booklet is open on it. Fold top and bottom edges towards center, and make sharp creases in the center to make the spine.

Then fold the covers in half, so they meet up with the spine of the book.

Insert front and back pages of the booklet into the pockets formed by the cover.

Here's a printable journal to try it out for yourself with the fold lines clearly marked. I LOVE this technique!
