Make your own notebook/laptop skin

Step 4 Pick out your background images and start securing

Choose full page images with interesting colors and textures. Solids do not create as nice a background in my experience. I found a couple of covers from the New Yorker and cut them to fit inside the masking tape. Then I cut them in strips and alternated them so it didn't look cut in half. This was a last-minute decision and I'm really glad I did it.

Once I had the strips cut I put a thin coating of mod-podge with the foam brush on and put the images down, again pressing gently but firmly to squeeze out airbubbles.
