I'm looking for some ideas on how to cover composition books I'm giving my students to make them 'blank slates' for them to decorate/personalize, instead of the ugly mottled colors they are now. I know I've seen it done before with contact paper or something but I was hoping to find actual instructions online and, in this case, Google has failed me. I need something that's fairly inexpensive and not so difficult or time consuming that I will be cursing the very idea halfway through the twenty or so books.

Any ideas?
