So you say you want to cover your textbooks? There's always the ever-available paper grocery bag. And sure, it's sturdy and doodle-friendly. Now, I'm not trying to knock the old standby...just trying to inject some craftiness into your daily life.
These oh-so-fancy-fancy bookcovers are made from old tshirts. But no need to stop there! You could very well use a swatch of jeans, sweatshirt, or any other material that will make you smile everytime you pull out your math book. The directions call for a sewing machine, but they could definitely be stiched by hand. And if you're not the sewing type...I'm sure you put a quick cover together with staples or even fabric glue. Really, the possibilities are endless. Oh, and, it's not like you need to do this every year. These covers are totally reusable. I so so so hope to see some fancy textbooks in the Teen Room this fall. Have fun!

I am definitely putting some of these together to cover my own textbooks, and will gladly share tips if you run into me in the Teen Room.
