I couldn’t help myself from converting some cardboard and old books into a few decorative pieces for the 4th…

Cardboard panels cut from a box are painted with a few words from the US Declaration of Independence.

A page from an old paperback novel is painted.

It was so easy to make these, I cranked out a bunch of them and tucked them around the house.

To make these, just tear off the front cover of a book and start painting on the pages. When your design is dry, tear off page and start on the next one.

Easy.
