DIY Artwork from Pages

Ballard Designs is selling a newspaper dress print like this for $299.99

And a collection of similar prints like this for $239.99.

I love the idea behind this artwork but definitely not the price tag.  Especially since this could be achieved by an easy DIY project for next to nothing. All you need are some old newspapers or books you're willing to cut up.  Make sure the print size varies for each part your design so you can easily distinguish the separate parts of the item.  Cut out your necessary pieces, use double-sided tape to place them on some white acid free paper and put it in a frame.  You're done!

Another even easier piece of artwork can be achieved by simply framing an entire book or newspaper page.  It can be one from your favorite book or just one that has a typography you like.  Either way, the rows of print will add interest to your walls.  

If you want to take the look a step further, you can print or stamp a word or quote on top of the page.
