How to Cover a Book With a Paper Folder | You could be in a situation where you are imposed an agenda or planner with an unpleasant cover. You could also be in a situation where you need to cover a book you like in an artistic way. If you're switching from folders to binders, it's your lucky day because this tutorial can be made with an old paper folder.

Things You'll Need:

1. A paper folder
2. An agenda, which is smaller than one of the pages of the folder
3. Tape
4. A cutter
5. Rope or an elastic (optional)

Step by Step:

1. Cut the middle of the paper folder and a little piece of paper that will be used for the binding. Remove the metal brackets and keep them for later use.
2. Bend one page of the folder around one of the cover pages of the agenda.
3. Cut anything that comes out from behind.
4. Tape the cover onto itself. Don't put tape on the book, that way you'll be able to reuse the cover for same sized books. 
5. Tape the binding on one of the covers.
6. Fit it in place.
