DIY Bookcover

credit: Pugley Pixel template

Here is a great way to re purpose a paper bag. We made a book cover old school style for my daughters school book, then added duct tape to modernize it. Here's how:

1. Supplies: paper bag, scissors, book, duct tape, and ruler.

2. Cut down one side of bag then cut bottom out.

•  Lay bag flat with logo facing inside ( if you do not want logo to show).
•  Put book in the middle of bag. Fold the top down and make a crease at top of book.
•  Repeat for bottom.
• Take book off and fold top and bottom flaps at crease.
• Put book back in center of paper, it should fit nicely lengthwise.
• Fold left side of paper over book to cover the front of book. 
• Fold again at the edge of the book.
• Slide the hard cover page of the book inside the folded cover.
• Repeat on back side.

3. Tape edges of paper bag closed so the bag doesn't open up.
4. Use duct tape to decorate the outside, get creative!
Have Fun!
