Kindle Book Cover

Kindle lovers are universally book lovers as well! For this swap, we will unite two passions and each swapper will create a cover for our partners Kindle out of a hardbound book!

The covers need to be functional, meaning there must be a way to secure the kindle to the cover. This is commonly done with elastic, a fabric pocket, or by creating a "hollow book" with a snug space for the kindle to rest.

I have put together a set of example photos on my flickr:

and there are tutorial video here and a blogged tutorial here.

The specifics:

You may use either a leather or cloth bound hardbound book.

Choose a book that is in good shape, meaning: a sturdy spine, free of water damage.

Please consider your partners tastes when selecting a book, e.g. if their profile indicates they enjoy poetry and biographies, please do not send them a kindle cover made from a historical romance. Please make sure that you complete the "books" section of your profile, to help inspire your partner.

Do your very best work, send something clever, creative and functional!

Ratings

Because this swap is labor and time intensive I am setting the minimum swapper rating at 4.95, with a minimum of ten type-3 swaps. Additionally, I will be checking every profile and reserve the right to remove any swapper who makes me uncomfortable. On the off-chance someone does flake, I will be glad to angel.

One week to sign-up and a three-week turnaround.

Happy crafting!
