Have you ever looked at your sleek, modern tablet and thought it could use a touch of old-school charm? Transforming a vintage book into a stylish tablet holder is a fantastic way to give new life to an old favorite while keeping your digital device snug and secure. Here’s how you can make one.
- Start by selecting a vintage hardcover book that fits the size of your tablet. The book should be slightly larger than your device.
- Open your book to about one-third of the way through. Use a ruler and pencil to mark the area where your tablet will sit. Make sure to leave a little margin around the edges for a snug fit. Using a craft knife, carefully cut along the pencil lines, slicing through several pages at a time until you’ve created a compartment deep enough to house your tablet securely.
- Once the cutting is complete, brush a coat of Mod Podge or your chosen adhesive inside the cut-out area and along the edges of the pages to keep them from fraying or coming loose.
- Lastly, you can attach Velcro strips or elastic straps to the inside edges of the book. This will hold the tablet in place even when the bookholder is moved.
