............ kidscrafts Covering Textbooks Design custom covers with heavy construction paper, road maps, or wrapping paper.

Add a Pocket Fold Covering a book with two pieces of heavy construction paper gives you a pocket.

The blue sheet should be as tall as the book plus 2 inches to fold down at the top of the book; the orange sheet should be half the book’s height, plus 2 inches to fold up at the bottom.

Add a Plastic Pocket Everyone can use an extra pocket.

Stuck to the front of a book, these keep a class schedule in plain view.

Use the staple gun to secure the batting and fabric onto the board, stretching taut as you go.

Turn the memo board faceup. Arrange ribbon on the board how you like it and cut it a few inches longer than the distance across the board. Wrap one end to the back, and staple in place. Stretch the ribbon taut to the opposite corner, wrap the end to the back, and staple. Repeat with the other ribbons, secruing them into the positions you’ve chosen for them.

Using scraps of your fabric, make covered buttons for each intersection, following the manufacturer’s directions. Alternatively, use regular buttons.

Now you can either insert a staple at each ribbon intersection and hot glue the buttons on (hiding the staples at each ribbon intersection) OR you can sew your buttons on.
