For Aaron’s 12th birthday he wanted “The Message Remix” Bible. My mother-in-law gave him the Bible and even got his name embossed on the front. I have tried for years to find a Bible cover that will fit this Bible. It isn’t any of the normal Bible sizes. At one point I was even going to hire a friend of mine to sew him a cool cover, but I never did. He has used this Bible for 4 1/3 years, and he uses it a lot. It is falling apart. He loves this Bible and doesn’t want a new one. 
The other day my creative 16 year old came to me with a plan to create a pink duct tape cover for his beloved Bible. “Cool!” I thought. So today we headed to Walmart where he spent $3.50+tax on a roll of pink duct tape.
First he had to repair the binding, he used superglue and packing tape. Once that was dry he started my measuring and cutting the duct tape strips.
He started laying the duct tape strips in the middle and then overlapped as he worked toward the edges.
He made the tape strips long enough so that they would overlap onto the inside of the cover and then he placed strips there to tidy up the look.
All that was left was his “decorative” touch, done in silver duct tape…
A duct tape cross.
Great job Aaron, I’m proud of you! If you want to let Aaron know what you think about his creation you can leave a comment here or send him a tweet. He is @ax2music on Twitter.
