Turn Your Old Books Into Wall Art

A time-old question for book lovers: What do you do with your old books that are falling apart? In our February/March issue we showed you how to paper a wall using pages from old books. If you are looking for wall art, but want a project on a smaller scale try making this wall hanging from Instructables Living. This project uses an acrylic matte medium to paste the strips of the pages to a canvas. Then, after it dries you can add a design using a photocopy transfer (like the key in the photo) and then add a burst or two of color by dripping liquid water color over your creation. For more detailed instructions click here.
