For this woven Rain Jacket Scrap booking Cover Craft Project You Will Need:

Rain Jackets (the super shiny kind)

Scrapbook

Hot glue

Tacks (optional)

Hammer (optional)

Scissors or pinking sheers

The first step is to buy Rain Jackets. I find quite a selection often at yard sales as well as flea markets. I always end up looking for yellow or red. They seem so timeless!

If you cannot find used rain jackets, then try just buying some new rain jackets at your discount store.

Open up your rain jackets and start cutting out strips. You can use tin sips, pinking sheers, or scissor. Any of these should work fine.

Now, Use one of those ready-made scrapbooks you can buy at any craft store for the base of this project.

You want to measure how large your scrapbook cover is and make your rain jackets strips about four inches wider and taller in length.

Don't forget to cover both the front and back at the same time, so when you are measuring how wide you scrap book cover is lay the book open and face down flat. Measure all the way from left to right.

Now, I like to run a bead of hot glue along the inside top edge of the scrapbook cover. Go ahead and place your strips of rain jackets vertically ling this top row on the inside. The strips should be touching on the left and right. Cover the entire inside edge.

Now, flip your rain jacket strips over and have them hang over the front of the scrapbook. Fold them back inside the bottom and glow them down inside the bottom edge of the scrapbook cover.

Repeat this step on the front left inside of the cover with your horizontal pieces.

Flip the rain jacket strips over the edge and out the front of the scrapbook. Weave them out to make the cover.

Now, as you reach the backside fold the rain jacket strips inside and glue them down in the inside edge of the back cover.

Repeat until the entire scrapbook is covered in rain jacket.

Do any trimming if necessary.

To add some fun whimsical details to your woven rain jacket scrapbook cover you can cut out any fun embroidered embellishments off of the rain jacket. Vintage pins and vintage earrings wood look awesome. You can also buy new embroideries and glue them on.

To complete the woven rain jacket scrapbook cover you need to line the inside of the scrapbook cover with felt. Start by cutting a piece of fabric out to fit the inside of the cover.

Next, cut out pieces to line the inside of the inside of the back scrapbook cover. Glue it into place as well. Glue it into place with a spray adhesive or epoxy glue that will stick.

You are finished!

You can also add words to this rain jacket scrapbook cover by cutting letters out of a contrasting color shiny raincoat.
