I made my own with brown paper bags, too. I loved doing it. LOL, dorky!

@chopsuey119: And buying new school supplies. Heaven.....

@chopsuey119: I know. I was talking to DH the other day about it when I bought my LO some crayons. I always wanted a new box of crayons each year but my mom would not get them for me. So I told DH that if LO asks I will get her a new box every year!

I totally did this but I used wrapping paper! I LOVED buying school supplies. I got a new set of pencil crayons every school year!

I used brown paper bags sometimes. But most of the time I used the papers from those huge calendars that my mom would bring home from the korean market. LOL. Those papers were da bomb!

we definitely made our own covers for years! then they started selling those stretchy fabric ones and we were all over that. mine were all bright annoying colors.

We used brown paper bags (which I hated because I always drew on them and I'm a HORRID artist) or the cheapy free ones the school gave us.

I used to either use brown paper bags, or the local Army recruits would drop some fancy ones off in the office and I would use the white side of them so I could doodle all over them!

i definitely bought some and made some from brown paper bags. and i had a trapper keeper.

Some were wrapping paper, some were brown paper.

LOL! Yep!

Hah! This thread = love. Seriously, I get giddy thinking of taking future kids school supply shopping!!

We used brown paper bags (so sturdy, honestly) and then when those cool stretchy ones came out (that ripped in a week!) my mom bought me one. I thought it was so cool, navy blue with stars..sigh.

Yup, I did. I usually used a brown paper bag. I think I used newspaper from the comics section one year.

I loved getting new school supplies but we never had book covers. I don't think anybody at school did, it just wasn't a big deal around here I guess. We always just wrote our name on the inside cover so we could tell who the book was being used by.

At the school I teach at now they aren't allowed. Too much of a distraction I guess? Plus we swap books out pretty frequently (every couple of units) so it would be a pain to have to move the covers as well.

I remember my mom teaching me how to make them out of brown paper bags I did have some of the stretchy ones in high school though! haha
