Bookcase gets a facelift

I bought this bookshelf at an auction in college for $2.50 and have used it for mutliple purposes over the years. It housed college textbooks back in the day (obvious choice), photo albums, serving dishes in a previous dining room and a TV/DVD player in a workout room. It has been painted several colors as its purpose changed over time, but most recently it has been in my art room to hold scrapbook supplies and other crafts. Although it was not expensive, it is such a sturdy piece of furniture since it is sold wood, that I can't bear to part with it.

 Before the redo, there was a gaping hole in the back, courtesy of yours truly, when I ran a cord through for the DVD player I mentioned earlier.

 Supplies needed:  ruler for straight edge, double sided tape, exacto knife, scissors and wrapping paper

 This was super easy. Remove shelves and cut paper to the size needed. Attach the tape and press onto the back of the bookshelf:

I used the exacto knife to trim up the corners and put extra tape there

Voila! I am very happy with this inexpensive fix and I think the paper added some pizazz to the bookshelf as well.
