Need ideas for making recipe book cover

[STAMPTAYLOR]

Hey everyone,


I have a monthly scrap/stamping group, and for this month I want everyone to make 6x6 recipe cards, bring them to the meeting, and I will put the cards into books, and they will go away with a nice holiday gift. What besides chipboard could I make the covers of the books out of? Cereal boxes?
Trying to use stuff I could probably have laying around the house, or scrap room, and not go out purchasing more stuff. I have plenty of Christmas paper, and embellishments to jazz up the covers, just need idea for the actual cover of the book.


TIA

Head on over to east Texas, and join the group.

I don't know what brands of supplies you use, but some of the Stampin Up things come with a nice square of chipboard to keep the DSP from bending in shipping.

I always save them, thinking some day I'll put them to good use--a project like yours would be good!

Maybe you have something like that lurking in your craft room?

cereal boxes, the backs of notebooks/notepads/paper pads, some thicker dsp w/or w/o acetate cover... all I can think of right now
