Knick-Knack Shelf Revamp

I saw this shelf at Goodwill for $12, and I knew I could turn it into a really cool piece.  I wanted to paste a pretty card stock background onto the back of the cubbies, and paint the whole thing.

I took it home, and the first thing I did was measure the individual shelves to see how much paper I would need to cover them.  I wrote all of the measurements down, so that I could use them later to cut the paper to the proper size.

I went to Michaels, and found a few sheets of some gorgeous card stock.  I chose black and white because then it won't clash with anything that I might put on the shelf.  Next, I used a brush and acrylic paint to paint the entire shelf black.

While that was drying, I cut the card stock to the sizes that I had written down earlier.  I used a straight-edge cutting tool from Cricut.  Then I carefully pasted them into the backs of each cubby using Mod-Podge (on the front and back of the paper) and a paintbrush.

Here is what the finished project looks like:

What do you think I should display on the shelf?  I have a collection of bones and crystals... that could be a cool idea.  :)
