DIY Weekly: Back to School Tip

          Here's a back to school tip! I have to carry around my spanish textbook :( Hey! Why not carry it in style!? This tip you've probably saw before. Based on my poll results, I am trying to commit to this new post type called "DIY Weekly." These are post in which I will be showing you how to do creative things "yourself." If I skip a week, forgive me or give me a comment to boost me up. Sometimes I am busy and might not be able to commit every week but, I'll certainly try! School first, then blog! Anyways, I used a paper grocery bag and turned it into a eco-friendly book cover. The process is pretty simple. All you have to do is cut the paper bag so that the whole thing is flat. I would cut the folded part on the side and work my way through from there. I also used clear scotch tape (the fat one) to tape everything up. As you can see, I taped the inside cover on the actual textbook... It will most likely tare the book a little by the end of the year, but that's what my school gets for making me have a cover in the first place! Anyways :) I then printed a little "sumpthin-sumpthin" and I was done. I hate having to carry a "piece of school" knowing that a lot of other people carried it and took it home as well. So, now it's officially "clean" in my eyes. And for some strange reason, it doesn't have pictures drawn of inappropriate "things" in the cover. I think that was more of a middle school thing :-/ Wow that was a lot of ""-ing. This clever trick was known a long time ago and is still used today. It's eco-friendly, affordable, and simply stylish! Have fun!
