Pinterest Challenge Day 1: Kindle Cover Tutorial

This is a simple an inexpensive Kindle cover tutorial (also great for IPads or Nooks) that costs around $5 to make. Have a one-of-kind cover for a fraction of the cost! If you read my post last week about Pinterest, then you know that I challenged myself to try 5 different "pins" this week.  My first project is a Kindle, Nook or iPad cover tutorial made out of an old book.
