Marble Paper Dying Completed Notepad

Step #1 - Take a pan of water and spatter bits of oil-based paint into the dish, and using a popsicle stick, swirl the paint in a design. Lay a sheet of white paper in the dish and press it against the surface of the water, and let the paint settle into the paper. Do this a few times, each time with new paint and paper, and let the paper dry.
Step #2 -After drying, cut the paper using pencil, a guide, and scissors, two pieces smaller than the other two. Glue the larger pieces to the outside of two pieces of cardboard, one cardboard rectangle made out of two pieces taped together. The edges are bent over the cardboard, and glued. Then, glue smaller rectangles from another piece of marbled paper on the side of the cardboard that still shows. Let the glue dry.
Step #3 - After drying, jog the pieces of marble paper covered cardboard with a stack of recycled paper, and make sure they are aligned at the top. Drill two holes in the top, the front being the cardboard rectangle made of two pieces of cardboard. Then put screws through the holes and into a backing. Tighten this until the cardboard is snug against the paper.
