    SCH: Off-topic DIY for those of you in school

    Got an ugly book cover? Tired of that same old brown paper bag wrapped around your 200 dollar textbook? Why not wrap your book in something that looks as expensive as that darned book?

    Alright, I had a little extra time after doing some studying so:

    1. Print out a Honda logo or whatever you might want and glue it on to your text book cover. Start cutting away what ever material you see fit. I cut out the letters of the word Honda. This will be a stencil for the next step. Stuff some newspaper under the paper cover so as to not scratch the text book while cutting.





    2. Then go grab a can of black paint or whatever you have handy and spray that sucker down.



    3. Let it dry and then peel away your stencil.



    4. (optional) Lay some clear packaging tape over the paint. After my book sat in my locker for a couple periods, everything around there smelled like spray paint. The tape covering helped mask that scent.



    And there you have it, a fresh and cheap new book cover. I'll try some different designs and with different paper for the stencils when I get a chance. Have fun with it; it's pretty easy to do.

            haha Yeah I've gotten a positive response from ricers in my school. All I need to do is figure out how to put some coffee can horsepower on my textbooks and I'll have a following of student-ricers.

            I want to make a stencil out of an outline of an accord I saw here a while ago. I think it was in someone's signature... Acclude92? 92Acclude? Anyway I have it saved to my computer somewhere, I'll post it up if I get any progress.

                    Gosh I havent used book covers for so long it is incredible. I never thought taking care of books was that big of a deal until this year. I spent close to 800 dollars on my college textbooks for nursing THAT I CAN NOT SELL BACK. I have to keep all of my nursing school books to use in the future. I realized if i want them to last then im going to have to take better care of them!

                      Never understood the need for a book cover anyways. If you take care of your books they will look just as nice at the end of the year as they did when you got them. I have my Auto Tech books from 2002 and they still look brand new (other then the work book has the pages filled out).

                              hehe yeah, cd-rs in my car eventually get scratched beyond head-unit-recognition, at which point they become my coasters.

                              Yup, I know where you're coming from. The only reason I have book covers is 'cause high school teachers are picky for them. (if we don't have them within a week of getting the books, we get points taken away from our totals. i hope i'm bringing back bad memories. )
