Tablet cover from a book & Dress it up!

Plain or "girly" I love it!

It is so easy to make a tablet cover from a book.
I used the directions from this website below. I saved my self from buying a $40.00 cover.  You can make different one's  to match different wardrobe colors!

It is simple to do.  I did a couple of things differently.\
I covered the inside of the book cover with scrapbook paper and I made my black elastic long enough to meet underneath and then I stitched the ends together by hand.  I just am not going to trust hot glue to hold anything this expensive and heavy in place.  I used 2 layers of card-stock on the right and then covered it with the scrapbook paper.  Then I marked the slits for the elastic on the back and threaded it through and stitched it.  I glued it all together with some book binding glue that I had on hand.  It needs to be strong.  I painted it on with a foam brush.  Then I stacked books on it to dry over night before I put the tablet in it.  I added a strip of contrasting scrapbook paper just to brighten it up.  then I tied a ribbon around the front cover and secured it with glue and sticky glue dots. You might leave it plain for a guy though. Now my husband says I have it girly enough that he won't be carrying it around!  That could be a good thing!
