Ginger Snap Crafts: Faux Leather Book Cover

Ginger Bowie

November 17, 2016

I remember the first time I walked into a Hobby Lobby store. I was 17 and my grandmother brought me in. I was blown away! Back then I was obsessed with all of the art supplies. I was in Art all through high school. I loved it! And today I am obsessed with just about everything else: the home décor, craft supplies, fabric, holiday decorations – everything!

Recently on a trip to Hobby Lobby I spotted these awesome faux leather table runners in the fabric department. Of course, my crafty mind started thinking of a thousand ways to use these besides as a table runner. Today, I’d love to show you how I made these Faux Leather Book Covers. Let’s get started!

For this project you will need a few supplies:

Faux leather table runner
Twine
Buttons
Sketch books or journals
Needle and thread
Fabric scissors
Permanent marker or pen
Yardstick or straight edge

I love this table runner. The leather look is so popular now, and this can be used for so many projects!

First, roll out the table runner on a flat surface. Place your sketch book in the top corner. Using the yardstick, draw a line from the bottom of the sketch book just a little bit longer than you think it needs to be. It’s better that it be too long than not long enough.
