Instructions for Making and Folding Book Covers
Nice looking book covers can be made from anything...jeans, fabric, brown paper bags, newspapers, comics, gift bags, wrapping paper, etc. See the above diagrams for directions. To make these book covers follow carefully directions given with the pattern shown on this page. It is a nice toch to to put the name of the book on its new cover.

How to Make a Comics Covered School Book Cover with a Brown Grocery Bag - As my kids get older and older, there seems to be more and more books that we need to cover. I have become a pro at turning brown grocery store bags into neat little school book covers. I decided to turn my son’s Math book cover into a fun comic book cover. I covered the book cover with contact paper to protect the comics. I also put a word search on there, which can be done over and over again since the contact paper can be used as a wipe-able surface for washable markers.
How to Make Laced Book Covers
Measure the book that you want to cover...then cut a piece of felt, leather, or plastic that will fit around your book plus an extra 1/2 inche on each side of the book. Now use the same material to cut 2 flaps that are about 2 1/2 inches wide and the same height as the book that you are covering. Now lay the cover out flat, with the wrong side of the fabric facing up and then clip flaps at each end of the cover with paper clips as seen in the picture above. Now use an awl or punch to punch holes all around the edge of the cover ... each about 1/2 inch apart (about 1/4 inch from the edge). Make the first 2 holes at each corner only 1/4 inch apart...see sketch above. Now start lacing at the center bottom and lace all around the cover ... and lace the flaps in place for pockets. You should use ribbon for felt covers and plastic lacing for the leather or plastic covers. Overlap ends of lacing and tie or sew in place. Now you can place the book into your newly crafted cover.
