This book case really brings personality to a room! It took forever, but it was well worth it!
The only think I paid for in this project was the lacquer which was $12 @ Home Depot. The paper was from an old book and the glue I had laying around my house.
1
Make sure surface is primed.
Find some paper- old news paper, and old book, old letters, whatever you want! Cut to the desired size. My strips were 2.25 inches.
2
Dilute glue with water and apply to back of paper strip (as if you were decoupaging).
Apply to surface.
3
Cover entire surface until desired texture is achieved.
Seal bookcase with a lacquer or varnish of some sort.
TADA!
