Book Jacket Backgrounds

For an added personal touch and artistic flair, use a book jacket as a background. This scrapbook technique looks especially nice when the book jacket is from a book by the reader's favorite book or author, adding a wonderful personalized touch, or from a vintage book.

Be aware, however, that the glossy coating on the book jacket creates an added challenge to sticking objects to this background. Alternative attachment methods include sewing and eyelets.

You can also scan in your book jacket, or even a collection of book spines, and then print your own background paper.
