- Cut strips of text and fill a clear jar or ornament.
- Outline a simple drawing in marker, then fill with watercolor or colored pencil to let the original text show through.
- Run a page through your printer and use the page as a “canvas” for a quote or an image.
- Try “black-out” poetry, by covering most of the text, but leaving key words visible to create a unique poem.
- Add texture to your page by dipping yarn in white glue, then creating a design over the text.
