Capri Sun bookcovers

Hello!  We're back from our little trip.  Had fun, but good to be home again.  It was weird to not be thinking about the classroom or the blog for 2 whole days. 

Before we left, I had read about an idea on Amy's Let's Explore blog that I wanted to do for our trip.  I liked her idea about making up little blank books.  So...........I decided to stitch up some little books to take along in the van.  Since I had just finished whipping up the Capri Sun pencil bags (see previous post), I thought, "Why not make booklets using Capri Sun bags as the covers?"  So I did.  I also made a few using scrapbook paper so the boys would have a choice.

Here is my little set of books.  To make them, I just took 8 1/2 by 11 inch white printer paper and cut it in half (so I had 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 inch pieces).  I stacked about 4 pieces together, folded them in half and inserted them in the covers.  I made the printed paper covers the same way as the inside pages.  The Capri Sun covers were just 2 empty Capri Sun pouches placed back to back (so the logo could be seen on both the front and the back.)  For the Capri Sun booklets, I had to trim the pages a little so they didn't stick out since the pouches were narrower than 4 1/2 inches wide.  To finish the books, I simply sewed a straight stitch from the top to the bottom about 1/8 inch from the fold, backstitching at both ends.

Here you can see the front cover and inside of the booklets.  I wouldn't want to always use the juice pouches for the covers of the books, but they would be nice for special books, such as writing and drawing about a summer trip.

I heard the same things, and I also heard the specifics you mention backed up by the broader spectrum of statements about the value Oracle sees in what they are acquiring in Sun, including Sun's open source software. that`s right!!!

hello, I like to discuss in these blogs that talk about the sun and its properties, I've also seen blogs where the sun include some things a little strange contexts, the sun is a great energy that gives us our God, and their properties are unique!
