When I’m ready to burn them, it’s easy enough to sit one on a cute little vintage china saucer, but I recently decided to try and find a fancier display solution for them. I also wanted the project to be inexpensive, and the materials used to be things I already had on hand.

This project is quick and easy, and a great way to whip up custom party décor on the cheap. Materials. Recycled Wall Art.

"I wanted to make the most of this, providing the printed word with another level of expression. " To do so, Paul recommends looking at lettering in terms of its font, at book pages in terms of their color ("I love the way aging pages range from cream to yellow," he says), and at sentiments in terms of their graphic appeal.

How-To Paint Laminate Furniture

Since painting the space deep blue, the once faux-wood bookcases got lost in the dark hue of the walls, and they were ready for a transformation.
