My nifty paperback Bible's font cover was falling off, so I fixed it using a roll of duct tape and a luggage strap. It cost me $2.00.

Signing UpStep 1: Reinforce Edges
The first thing I did was use the duct tape to cover up and reinforce the torn edges, both the outer edge and the edge where the cover meets the Bible.

Sounds like your bible is as flimsy as your religion :)

The images are backwards cuz they were taken with a webcam. The velcro square is really on the front of the bible.

What I did is black duct tape with a white cross. But after that, I cut a piece o tape that would stretch from the front cover around the front of the bible to the back cover. Then, I put a piece of duct tape sticky side down onto the other piece, leaving enough sticky side free to stick on the back. I then put velcro on the front and the strip to hold it closed.

That's cool. I never thought of using velcro. Sticking the velcro to the duct tape strip is a good idea. Maybe I'll do that on my next one. It sounds like it would work a lot better than my luggage strap. :)

Thanks! Yeah, hockey tape would look incredibly cool because it has that texture to it.

Oh wow, I love duct tape...but Never thought of this! My Bible's cover is a nice leather-ish cover, but what's the sense in having a nice black cover when you can have something with duct tape? It totally makes the Bible even cooler... it's like... gives it the look of all-power and strength. Lol Verrrrrry cool and verrrrry creative! :-D awesome!

Totally! I'm looking forward to when the duct tape starts to get ragged and used-looking.

It's not half as fancy as yours. It's just a bit more silver now and a bit less falling to bits. I shall take a photo.

I look forward to seeing it. Hey, I bet duct tape covers look pretty neat as they age and get a bit ragged!
