I thought I would share with you all what I used my pretty paper for...
the pretty paper I bought from this lovely shop in the Southern Highlands,
One day last week I had to get new tyres (all 4) on my car so while I was waiting for them (in my lunch break) I went and looked for some interesting books that didn't have particularly nice covers but would make for an interesting coffee table/browse book.
I found these at our local Salvation Army Store, which happens to be a block away from the tyre place.
I used my pretty paper and my hot glue gun to cover the books,
they turned out like this.

Nice work, the books look nice.
