How Do You Create A Paper Bag Book Cover?
If you feel environmentally friendly, or you just don’t like to use plastic wrap or fabric covers to cover your books, then paper is a great alternative. Making a book cover with just a brown paper bag is easy, fast, and fun! • Cut open a brown paper shopping bag. • Remove the flaps formed by the bottom of the bags so that you have one large sheet of brown paper. • Place the book in the center of the paper. • Wrap the paper up across the bottom of the book, and make a crease along the bottom cover. • Repeat Step 4 for the top of the book. • Remove the book from the paper. • Fold the paper up at the bottom crease and down at the top crease.

Remove the book and fold the other flap. Slip your book into the cover and secure all of the edges with tape. Try to contain the tape to the paper bag to prevent it from tearing your textbook. Remove your book again so you can decorate the bag cover
