Use gift wrapping paper instead of a brown paper bag. It's much prettier!

That's a good tutorial. But, I think the logo on the bag should be totally on the inside.

fun tutorial.. and a trip down memory lane. we used to do it slightly differently- when we folded over the flaps (before you tape it)- we would tuck it in-- as you can see the top and bottom have small flaps that you previously folded over-- you can tuck the front and back cover of the books in between the flaps- then tape it. :)

My son needs to cover his textbook, I think we'll consider doing this instead of purchasing one. Thanks!
