Arrow BOOK COVER TEMPLATE PLEASE!!

I have a small hardcover book that measures
4 inches wide
6.25 inches tall
a little over 1 inch thick including both covers.

I would like to make a book cover for it.
Yes I scanned the gallery in TEMPLATES and ANYTHING BUT A CARD and
came up empty handed.

Can someone help me please - - - -okay here comes the dumb question!!!

What if I just layed the book on a 12 x 12 piece of paper - -opened it up - and traced, cut, wrapped, and adhered it - - and then decorate it?

Judy

I Googled book cover template and got this site: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/hel...ok_covers.aspx
which has several templates for downloading. The Mass Market paperback book template looks close enough for your project.

Here's another site: http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/bookcover/
It is an onsite book cover creator.

Are you sure you want to adhere the cover to the book? What if it gets torn or soiled? On the other hand, I've torn many non-adhered covers because they were too loose...

BTW, you really shouldn't lie to us: "dumb question" indeed... :rolleyes:
