QuestionHow do I make the cover of the dictionary?Community AnswerThere are different ways that you could make your cover. For instance, you could design one with construction paper and markers, colored pencils, etc. and cut it to fit the book. You could also make a cover design using a computer program such as Word or Pages, and print it out. Be sure to include the name of your dictionary on it. If the design doesn't fit the book, either cut it down to size or attach it to a plain cover, then cover with clear contact (adhesive) paper to protect the design. Don't forget to have fun creating the design.
