How to make

1. Print the cover you’ve chosen or grab an 8.5”x11” piece of scrapbook paper. If you printed, the pattern won’t go quite to the edge of the page. Trim the left edge of the paper unless you’re using wider tape that will cover the unprinted portion. 
2. Apply glue stick to outside of front cover.
3. Line up paper along the edge of the spine tape and stick down, leaving the edge of the paper hanging over the cover. 
4. Prepare to fold the paper edges around the cover by cutting 2 or 3 “v”s to allow the corners to fold. 
5. Apply glue to the paper hanging over, fold around the cover, and stick down to the inside of the cover. Let the glue dry. 
6. Stick a piece of tape on the front cover to help stick the edge of the paper along the spine, leaving an extra inch or two on each end to fold inside. 
7. Cut a piece of the chalkboard paper to 7.25” x 9.25”.
8. Stick chalkboard paper to the inside cover to hold the edges of the paper down and create a writing surface. 
9. Optional: Add a chalkboard segment to the front of the cover. 
10. Repeat steps on the back cover. 

You can use a regular stick of chalk or a chalk marker on the chalkboard paper.

Enjoy!
