Materials (figure A): Old books Color copier Scissors Thin sheets of plastic foam Glue gun - Stack sheets of plastic foam until they're about the same height as the book when it's lying down.
- Glue the sheets together.
- Make color copies of all sides of book and cut them out. Cut the cover all the way out, but leave some excess paper around the edges of the sides of the book. The excess will fold down over the foam, ensuring that all of it is covered.
- Start with the copied sides and glue them down onto the foam (figure B).
- Glue the cover down over the foam.
Products: Plastic foam can be found at craft stores, and old books can be found for bargain prices at stores that sell used books.
