Book Bags for Teens

While it is possible to buy professionally made book covers, creating your own from a brown paper bag is a cheaper alternative that also serves as a fun afternoon project. It requires only simple materials found around the house and a little bit of patience. Using a paper bag as a book cover is a great way to recycle them as well. And when you’re finished, you can decorate the cover any way you wish.
Open the book. Draw a line across the bag at the top and bottom of the book. Remove the book. You will have one line about 3 inches from the top edge of the bag and another about 3 inches from the bottom edge, depending on the size of the textbook.

Fold the top of the paper bag down along the top line, and the bottom of the bag up along the bottom line. Your paper bag should be the exact height of the book, although still much wider.

Place the book back in the center of the bag and open it up again. Draw a vertical line on the bag to mark the right and left edges of the book. Remove the book. If there is more than 3 inches between each vertical line and the corresponding edge of the bag, trim off the excess with scissors. Then fold the edges of the bag inward along those lines.

Slide the front hard cover of the book into the left fold, then tape it closed. Do not tape the bag to the book itself. Instead, tape only the top and bottom of the folded part. Do the same with the back cover of the book on the right side. Then use a marker to write your name and the name of the textbook on the front of the book.
