Ugly floor fix on a tight budget

Here is a cool new look for an ugly floor. The floor must be sound to do this!!! Tear (do not cut!!)craft or contractors paper into random shapes and glue to the floor with vinyl flooring adhesive. The more jagged the tears the better this looks. When the floor is completely covered and the glue is dried, stain the floor with wood stain of your color choice. There are many shades out there and you can even get custom colors such as blues, greens, and purple.
After the stain is dried, give the floor three or four coats of polyurethane to protect it.
The result looks like patchwork leather and it is pretty durable.
This is a great project on a budget!!!!
