I love the look of newsprint, and since I'm actually studying English and Journalism next year, I decided to play around with it and see what I could make. I decided that this was a fun and simple project, and a great way to use some old faux leather I had lying around. :)

Cut out your templates (either draw your own or print one off of the internet) and modge podge them onto your leather/faux leather. Wait for them to dry.

Cut your newspaper into strips and modge podge it over your paper template, to ensure that you have a big enough space covered. If you'd rather just put newspaper over the whole thing, you don't need to modge podge the template down first! Wait for it to dry.
