DIY Book Cover Using a Map

Summer will soon be here! It’s the perfect time to incorporate some beach or coastal themed objects into our summer home decor! And, you don’t need to live at the beach to enjoy some coastal elements in your summertime home! Today’s post is an easy and inexpensive DIY to give you that look!

Have you ever made your own book cover? When I was in school, back in the age of dinosaurs, we were required to cover our text books! Back then, most used paper grocery bags! And, when my boys were in school, we bought “book socks” that were stretchy and fit tightly over the book! But, I wonder, ‘Do classrooms even use textbooks anymore?‘ I’d love to know!!! Anyway, it’s easy to make a simple DIY book cover and using a map gives it that coastal look!
