Materials:

pre-pasted wallpaper patterns
scissors
prints from art book
sponge
tub of water
craft glue

Steps:

1. Choose two prints from an art book and have them enlarged as desired. Position the prints in the center of the work area and glue them in place.

2. Cut designs, stripes, etc. from the wallpaper and place them in water. Fold them in half for a bit to activate the paste. Position the wallpaper pieces around the prints as desired to create a lattice design, borders and layered effects.

3. Once dry, wipe the area with a damp sponge to remove excess paste.Glue any pieces that aren't sticking securely.
