How to make a Duct tape Book cover

How to make a Duct tape Book cover
As the school year started, i bought a few book covers for my textbooks. To my complete expectations, the book covers began to rip...in the first month. so i had to find a way to make quality book covers that will last a LONG time. My solution? Duct tape.


P.S. this ible is a little time consuming but the finished outcome will be worth it.
This isnt something you will probably whant to do to all your textbooks(unless you want to), but its great for books that you probably carry around all the time.

It would be interesting to see something like this combined with some of that chalk board paint. I'm not sure how practical it would be, but it would be kind of fun IMHO.

I'm certainly going to look into making some of these for books.
