Begin by tearing your decorative paper into strips of varying sizes.  Swipe all four edges with your ink pad - see below.

Now tear these stips into small pieces of various sizes & shapes.  Apply ink to the uninked edges - see below.

Glue these pieces onto a scrap of paper at least 41/4" x 51/2". The pieces should overlap each other Once you have it completely covered, apply Mod Podge to the entire piece. When dry, trim to measure 5" x 33/4".
