Back to School
Book Cover Techno Craft

With all the excitement of going Back to School, here is a fun activity to get ready and at the same time make a useful craft. Book covers are a standard requirement in most schools, so if you have a free afternoon and some really cool photos, then you are pretty much good to go on this one! What you will be making is a front cover that is a special memory as well as a fun way for you to cover a book. The craft will not actually be a complete cover but a do-ahead front piece that can be attached to the books when you arrive the first week of school.

Materials:
Photos
Old cardboard or the back of a cereal box.
Scissors, glue, tape, stickers and colored paper

Directions:
Print a great picture from your computer off of your digital camera* (or you can use any photo you already have printed). Glue onto the cardboard and decorate with stickers, text from your computer, colored papers and markers.

When it’s time for school and all the books arrive home, you will have great book cover artwork to glue onto the books once they are covered in brown paper or some other decorative paper. Happy Back to School!

*If you have a photo program on your computer, have fun experimenting with the photo with the special effects. You can also add type.
