Fabulous Back To School DIY Notebook Covers

07/20/2015 By Nicole EtolenCategories: Crafts for Kids

Looking for a fun back to school craft for teens? Check out these DIY notebook covers that take your store-bought notebooks from boring to totally YOU!

These Back To School DIY Notebook Covers are a perfect project for you to make right before school begins.

I love making my books look totally unique to me instead of that plain boring cover they come with.

Some schools don’t allow book covers, so make sure just in case ahead of time.

Even if they don’t allow book covers on your text books, you may still be able to create some fun notebook covers that can go on your binders, composition books and more.

This Silhouette Notebook Cover from Create and Babble is awesome if you have a Silhouette machine. It’s simple, cute and way easy to make.  Of course, the Silhouette machine may be tough for you to find and use if you don’t already have one, but the idea and pattern included could be remade by hand on craft paper if you wanted.

Going Reno has a great tutorial on DIY Fabric Covered Notebooks that is awesome.  These can be super simple, or intricately designed.  These are by far my favorite since you can create them in so many different ways so easily.  Use scrap material you have on hand, or go out and buy something special.  I love the fact that I can easily match these to my locker accessories, wardrobe or favorite comic book stars.

These DIY Stamped Kraft Covers are totally sleek. Using simple stamps and ink you can make them have your name, the textbook name, subject or something totally off the wall.  Small letter stamps are easy to find a craft supply stores for pretty inexpensive.  These are definitely favorites for me since I can even use the letter stamps to write a poem or a favorite movie quote on the front.

In the last few weeks before school, you can spend time making these fun back to school DIY notebook covers so your books and you will stand out at school this year!

    I will have to pass this one onto my kiddo who is going into middle school next year. She will love it! Last year, she covered her stuff all in duct tapes. This will give her some new inspiration.

    My wife and daughter just did one up for her using an old pair of jeans that turned out great. Much more unique than the trapper keepers I used as a child.
