    Instructions

    Difficulty: Easy

    Size the Cover

    Step One
    Gather the materials: the textbook, a ruler or tape measure, a brown-paper grocery bag, a pen, scissors and clear tape.

    Step Two
    Measure the height and width of the textbook.

    Step Three
    Calculate the following numbers: Add 5 inches to twice the width; add 2 inches to the height.

    Step Four
    Mark off a piece of the grocery bag of these dimensions using the tape measure and pen, then cut the piece.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Cut in straight lines. If you don't, the cover will be harder to make properly.
    • If you don't have a brown grocery bag, try thick construction paper.

    Make the Cover

    Step One
    Spread out the piece you cut flat on a table.

    Step Two
    Center the book vertically, making sure the top and bottom edges of the book are parallel to the top and bottom edges of the cover. There should be about an inch of cover on the top and on the bottom.

    Step Three
    Fold the cover up at the bottom, making a crease at the bottom of the book. Do the same from the top. Then remove the book and fold along the creases for the entire width of the cover. The cover is now as tall as your book.

    Step Four
    Place the book back onto the cover, lining up the top and bottom edges of the book along the top and bottom edges of the cover. They should line up perfectly; if they don't, redo the above steps.

    Step Five
    Slide the book towards the right edge of the cover, stopping 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the edge.

    Step Six
    Fold the cover up from the right, making a crease at the right edge of the book. Remove the book as before and fold along the crease for the entire height of the cover.

    Step Seven
    Insert the back cover of the book into the pocket you've created. Push it in all the way and close the book.

    Step Eight
    Fold the left end of the cover over the book's front cover, making a crease at the edge of the front cover. Fold along this crease for the entire height of the cover.

    Step Nine
    Insert the front cover of the book into this new pocket. Close the book.

    Step Ten
    Secure the cover with clear tape: one or two pieces for each of the four corners.

    Step Eleven
    Decorate at will!
