How to define your room with wallpaper composed of dictionary pages.

Tools + Materials

  • wallpaper liner + wallpaper adhesive
  • dictionary pages
  • decoupage medium
  • paint tray
  • paintbrush
  • wallpaper smoother

    1. Begin by applying a wallpaper liner to the wall (see how to hang wallpaper). Let dry overnight. This makes it easier to remove the treatment when you’re ready for a change.
    2. Cut pages from your book. Pour decoupage medium into a small dish. Working one page at a time, place the page into a plastic tray and use a narrow paintbrush to coat the back with the medium. Tip: If you want to leave a book undamaged, consider photocopying or printing favorite passages—but test the print to make sure decoupage medium doesn’t smear the ink.
    3. Position the page on the wall, and press flat with a plastic-edge wallpaper smoother. This process removes wrinkles and extra medium. Work from top to bottom on the wall, overlapping the pages if desired.
    4. Once you’ve pasted all the pages, brush or roll on a thin coat of decoupage medium to seal your project.
