Good way to cover a book so that title/front is visible ?

The kids have some books they read a lot, and these books are subject to a lot of handling. Any ideas on how to protect them? Fabric covers have 2 problems - even the jumbo size ones do not seem to fit some books. And, the kids like the book's face %26amp; title be visible.


So, I need something like the plastic jackets that library books have.





So, any ideas on how to cover a book, so that the front of the book remains visible. Any store carry these? Or, some easy way to make such cover at home?

clear plastic covers. u can buy them in big sheets so u just cut them in the right sizes for the books/notebooks
Reply:I Used to cover my books in clear contact paper... good for strength and lasts a long time...
Reply:there really isnt a way to cover the book without the front being covered. If you child wants the front so he/she can tell which text book it is then all you have to do is label the book's subject on the spine and front and back. This way which ever way it is facing he/she can tell what subject it is. Also What helped me was to memorize what colors go with which subject. Each year I always use the same color or print for each text book. Also have your child pick which color he/she thinks fits the subject best. For some reason I always thought of history as a red and math as a yellow and science purple. And it has always been that way for me. If you dont think this will work then I guess you could try hobby lobby and see if they have clear plastic or something to put on the books. Make sure it isnt sticky on one side because it probably wont come off and will damage the book and you might end up paying for it. So be careful! Good luck.
Reply:Clear contact paper STICKS to the book.. there was a kid who did this to his spelling book in 5th grade and he had to pay for the book. You could make your own out of a paper bag (google has thousands of results) and have the kid write the subject over and over like MATH. They should really make book covers like that =\





You can use the fabric ones too. For history, I use one thats red, white and blue.. Biology is a tiger print, and so on.
Reply:contact paper, if you dany want it to get sticky use wax paper and tape.
