Easy TARDIS Book Page Print

Guys, I am so excited. I have seen these cute book page prints for a long time and never thought to try making one for myself. Tonight I'm stuck at home because I'm semi-sick (dull headache, dizzy sick but not sick enough to lay in bed all day without feeling guilty) and thought I'd take it easy and work on some projects I've wanted to try for a while.

Here's how I did it:

1. Find an old book or dictionary that you don't mind cutting up. I used my old copy of Man and Superman that I had to read in high school. Carefully tear or cut out the page as evenly as possible.

2. Find an image online of what you'd like to print. You will need something isolated with a white background so that it pops off of the page and isn't too busy.

3. Change the picture to greyscale if you'd like, or use the original colors. I'd love a blue TARDIS, but I didn't have any color ink. Work with that you've got!

4. Measure your book page. Mine was around 7x4.5", so I created a custom size in my printer properties.

5. Print your page. Make sure to center it, fit to page, and change the settings to print on the size of paper that you have available.

6. Frame it. I framed the first print in a frame on hand, and then purchased a frame for the second print. The frame was plain black and was $3.99 after the 50% discount at Hobby Lobby. I picked up the closest thing to TARDIS blue that I could find in the store, which is Anita's All Purpose Acrylic in Twilight Blue.

That's it! This was my first try and it was a bit off centered, but once I trimmed and framed it you can hardly tell.

I hope that you guys have a wonderful weekend! Let me know if you try printing anything. I'd love to see your creations!

P.S. If you haven't watched Doctor Who and have no idea what a TARDIS is, you're missing out. Check it out. Now.
