Duck Tape Book Cover

It was such a sad day yesterday, part of my Bible cover fell off at church service.

I have had this Bible for about 15 years and I always carry it with me with every change of purse. Every purse change it has been one ideas that is a must move. It has been to Mexico, Florida, Virginia, the beach and a few places in between. Well I did not want to replace the Bible. So I thought that if maybe people can make dresses, wallets, purses, etc. out of Duck tape then I should be able to fix my cover too. So my hubby took me to Walmart after church and I found some tape I liked.

 

So now to figure out how to do it. I like to figure things out on my own. Yup I’m a rebel, I can not stand to follow directions..LOL So here we go. I did the outside of the front cover first. Making sure there was extra to fold on the side, top and bottom.

Next fold over the top and bottom.

Then the side. I did cut a little out so there would not be too much tape.

Now line the inside.

If your tape is in a pattern that you are matching up then continues the pattern as you line the bind and the back cover.

Repeat what you did on the front cover with the back cover.

Now the binding..I did have to over lap a piece because the seem came apart on the binding but the tape blends in so you can not really tell.

I cut the tape down short and folded it inside the binding.

And there you go. It looks like a whole new book now.
