As soon as those course books are handed out the first day of class, there is one thing every kid must do. No, not read it from front to back. I'm talking about putting on textbook covers.
Back in the day, brown paper was the only option. For those who like that old-school feel, it's still a nice route. There are fun, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly choices for your family to choose from. Take a look at the coolest ways to cover text books this school year.
Do you have other creative book cover ideas?

We used to do the brown paper bags long ago, but I like the gift bag idea, thanks! I have also done the book sox idea too.
I always used butcher's paper. A nice white, blank canvas I could doodle on all semester.
I work in the fabrics and crafts section at Wally World, and a lot of people come in and buy fabric for their book covers. We have a lot of fabric that is really cheap, like $1.50 a yard even, and if you look in our remnants section, you can find it even cheaper sometimes. Not sure how you do it, but I'm sure if you search the Internet there's a tutorial for it, isn't there always for like, everything? :)
Too cute!

I had to have covers on every single book in school.. my mom used calender paper or wrapping paper
