Book Cover

  Cut the bottom off a paper bag and wrap the remaining paper around a school book, making pockets for the front and back cover. Secure any folds with tape, and leave enough slack for the book to close without ripping the bag cover. Write the name of the book or the subject on the front and the spine. Slip the cover off to protect the book if you're using permanent marker. Personalize the cover however you like.

  When a dragon carries off her prince, after destroying her castle and clothing, Princess Elizabeth goes to the rescue wearing a paper bag. Bring Robert Munsch's "The Paper Bag Princess" to life by drawing the princess' arms, head and neck or printing a template. Color them, decorate the bag and then cut them out and paste them onto the bag. Her head goes on the bottom of the bag and her arms on the sides.

  Stack three lunch-size paper bags together and fold them in half. At the crease, punch two holes, making sure to go through all layers of all three bags. Insert the ends of a rubber band into the holes from the back and secure by putting a craft stick, pencil, paintbrush or other sturdy item through the rubber band loops. You now have a pocketed book to decorate and use for storage.
  
  

Caterpillar Book

  A caterpillar book is one made up of a series of square sheets of paper folded a certain way and then glued together. A series of 4-by-4-inch squares form a 2-by-2-inch square book when closed. Using four squares, fold each sheet in half both ways and then again diagonally. Pull the diagonal fold in towards the middle of each sheet. The first sheet should look like a diamond, with the diagonal crease facing up. Glue the left-hand square of the second sheet, with the diagonal crease facing down, onto the right hand square of the first sheet. Add the third sheet to the second, alternating which way the diagonal crease faces. Repeat for the fourth sheet. You should end up with a set of interconnected diamonds to decorate and fold into a single square book.
