Book Covers
Materials:
Brown paper bag, Scissors, Baseball cards or comics, Glue, tape or rubber cement, Clear, self-adhesive paper (optional)
Instructions:Cut along one of the side seams of the bag and remove the rectangular base so all that is left is a long, flat sheet of paper. Match the height of the sheet to the height of the book by making folds of equal width on the long edges of the paper.
Lay out the sheet with the folded edges up, stretching horizontally in front of you. Set the book on the paper, right-side up and about 5 inches away from the right side of the sheet (for books that are larger or smaller than a standard textbook, use half the width of the cover). Fold the left side of the sheet up and over the book.
Now, trim the ends to about 5 inches beyond the edge of the book. Tuck the two ends inside the front and back covers of the book. Secure them by slipping the book's covers inside the folds.
Your child then can decorate the cover. Add comic strips or baseball cards with glue, rubber cement or tape. For extra durability, cover the work with a layer of clear, self-adhesive paper.
