Do you want to protect your beloved books from wear and tear or simply give them a fresh new look? Covering books with a paper roll is a simple and affordable solution. Whether you’re a student, an avid reader, or just someone who values their book collection, this step-by-step guide will show you how to cover books with a paper roll effectively.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • A roll of paper with the desired pattern or color
  • Scissors
  • Double-sided tape or glue
  • A ruler
  • A pencil
  • A bone folder or credit card (optional, for smoothing)

Step 1: Measure the Paper

Start by measuring the dimensions of the book you want to cover. Place the book on the paper and roll it across until it covers the entire book, adding a few extra inches on each side to allow for folds and finishing.

Step 2: Cut the Paper

Using your ruler and pencil, mark the measurements you obtained from the book on the backside of the paper. Connect the markings and cut along the lines to create a rectangle of paper that will fully cover the book.

Step 3: Fold the Edges

Place the book in the center of the paper, aligning the edges. Fold one side of the paper over the book, leaving about an inch of excess paper beyond the book’s edges. Crease the paper firmly along the book’s spine and repeat for the remaining three sides.

Step 4: Secure the Cover

Using double-sided tape or glue, apply adhesive along the inner edges of the paper cover. Press the cover against the book, starting from the center and smoothing it outwards to eliminate any air bubbles or wrinkles. Trim any excess paper if necessary.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Take your bone folder or credit card and run it along the book’s spine and edges to ensure a smooth and tight fit. This step is optional but recommended for a professional-looking finish.

There You Have It!

By following these simple steps, you now know how to cover your books with a paper roll. You can repeat this process for multiple books to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing bookshelf. Not only does covering books protect them from external damages, but it also adds a personal touch to your collection.

So, go ahead and give your books a makeover with this easy and cost-effective method. Enjoy your books for years to come!
