How many times have you noticed your child's books torn? Well, your child's books and notebooks would not have been in a miserable state had you made the effort to cover them up. Covering your child's books and notebooks not just protects the books from being torn but also beautifies them. Your child is sure to pick up a book that is packed in a beautiful cover.
Covering the books can be a mundane task. You can easily cover them up with one of the brown covers available in the market. But you do not have to make your child's book covers boring when you have creative ways to go about doing the same.
Discard the old brown paper and go in for beautifully colored and patterned sheets to change the way books can look. You can consider covering up books and notebooks with glossies and colored paper. Fluorescent sheets are also an option if you want to make your child's books colorful and vibrant. Handmade paper sheets also work well as covers. Their thick nature protects the book, while their vibrant color tones beautify it.
Apart from covering your child's notebooks with different kinds of sheets, you can also do various other things to decorate the notebook. One of the simplest things that you can do would be to draw your child's favorite cartoon character on the cover. In case you are not good at drawing, you can easily get one of the readymade cartoon stickers available in the market. Stick them on and you are done.
Sparkle pens also work well in decorating the cover of notebooks and books. Bring in different colored glitter pens and create an abstract pattern using them. Even if you draw criss-cross lines, the final pattern would look very nice. But, make sure that you use dark colors such as pink, blue, silver, golden and the like.
Using stick-ons is also a good idea for those who are not very creative. You can easily get these stick ons in the shape of stars, moons, cartoons, triangle and the like. A simple way to use them could be pasting them across the border. However, if you wish to get experimental, you can draw shapes using these stick-ons. Random pasting of these stick-ons also works well.
Cut squares from a paper that is in contrast to the color of the cover. If you want you can use different colored papers to cut the squares. Now paste these randomly in different directions on the cover. Your child is sure to love you for this one.
Covering your child's notebook not just ensures that your child's books stay longer but they are also sure to bring a smile on your child's face every time he picks up his book/notebook.
