Beautiful Covers for the Qur'an

Alhamdulillah, I have a big collection of different Qur'ans in my house, in different languages and sizes.  I have always thought of putting a protective case around them, since I have little children, who love to look at them. Also, after regular tear and wear the books just lose the shape and its harder to keep them intact.  
So I started looking for Ideas for the covers and I found some very nice and inexpensive ways to protect them.  

You can create different covers based on languages, with or without translation/transliteration.  This can be a great wedding / niqah gift and you can use a nicer, more decorative version of the Qur'an.
It is also a good idea since majority of scholars agree a woman can not touch a Qur'an without a cover when she is impure.  

And remember that this can also be a nice craft idea for your kids, since the summer is coming up and I am sure we all need to find the way to keep them busy!

    And yet the Qur'an says only that a man must abstain from sexual relations with his wife when she is menstruating (see 2:222). These "scholars" contradict the Qur'an.

    None shall touch it save the purified ones (56:79)
    This is the verse that is the source of contradiction. Majority scholars say it has to be taken literally, which means that a menstruating woman can not take wudu. Some scholars argue though that these verses refer to Muslims vs. non-believers. I have heard that you are allowed to touch Qur'an if it has a cover on it (no direct touching) or if it has a translation in it. Allahu Alim.
