Making Mini Book Covers?

I’ve got your back with a free Canva template and a video to guide you in using the template.

  1. Watch the video to understand the template.

  2. Make sure you have a Canva account before accessing the template.

  3. Once you’ve clicked the link to the template, click VIEW TEMPLATE/USE TEMPLATE FOR NEW DESIGN - not Edit Template. This will make a copy of the template so you don’t modify the original.

  4. Rename the copy so you know that one is yours, and close the original template so you don’t modify it.

Watch and follow along with the simple process of using the mini book cover free template on Canva.

Follow These Steps

  1. Make a copy of the template

  2. Google Image search for the book covers you need, and save them to your computer.

  3. Drag and drop the images into the uploads area of Canva.

  4. Duplicate the rectangle cover page and the square cover page before you begin adding images, so you always have a blank template to work from. The duplicate icon is above the top right corner of each page and looks like a double rectangle with a plus sign.

  5. Drag and drop the book covers, according to shape, into the template pages.

  6. Once you’ve finished adding book covers, download the file as a PDF.

  7. Print your book covers onto sticker paper. I recommend these Standard White Matte Sticker Sheets from Online Labels.

  8. If you’re fancy, you can use your Cricut or Silhouette to cut them out. Otherwise, get your scissors ready!
