Up-cycled display holder DIY

Happy Monday Blog Friends! 

Today I have a fun little up-cycle to share

Here is how it turned out:

And here is where I started:

{I kept the box in the photo so you could see the red clearance tag from Marshalls, this was a $5.00 clearance find}

I was once again inspired to use my encyclopedia paper for this project....shocking right?!?!  I first removed the clips from the board and used my trusty mod podge to place my first layer of paper.  Next I printed my quote on the encyclopedia paper---just tape the thin paper onto a more sturdy card-stock to prevent printer jams.  I played a lot with size of the quote on normal paper before printing on the encyclopedia paper.  Next I ripped the quote out and mod podge-ed it into place.

Final top coat of mod podge, replace the clips and add ribbon to hang the project by and wham bam, up-cycled project display.

What do you think?

Did you notice that I added this special little image in the corner?

I got it from graphic fairy and just added my blog name.  Have I told you lately how wonderful that web page is?!?
