Sometimes you have a beloved book that has been so well-loved, the cover is just about gone.

Or you love the book, but the cover leaves something to be desired.

Or you have a set of books, but the covers don’t all match.

Or maybe you just want a fun little weekend project.

Whatever your reasons for needing a book cover, one of these seven ideas will have you and your books, well, covered!

1. Painted Books
A little paint can make your book collection coordinate with any room. This look is so fun and bright.
