Instructions

  1. Small 0912101630 00 1284336227

    Get a paper bag. Mine's from Albertsons :)

  2. Small 0912101631 00 1284336239

    Rip the bottom open and cut a line from the bottom to the top so you have a long roll.

  3. Small 0912101632 00 1284336253

    Grab your textbook and place it on your paper bag. Fold the paper to the top and bottom slightly so you can see what the height of the book is.

  4. Small 0912101634 00 1284336545

    Fold the creases down and make sure it's the same height as your book. You wouldn't want it to be too small or too big!

  5. Small 0912101636 00 1284336550

    Fold the paper around your book and leave about 2.5 inches hanging off each side.

  6. Small 0912101637 00 1284336562

    Cut out the extra paper.

  7. Small 0912101642 00 1284336569

    Tape the corners of the sides. (As shown in the picture) You can see there is a slight opening in your paper bag. Place your book cover in this opening.

  8. Small 0912101650 00 1284336583

    Do the same for both sides and tape the inside and outside cover so it can stay.

  9. Small 0912101651 00 1284336853

    And tadaaa! You have a book cover that you can keep as it is or even draw whatever you want on it!
