Brown Bagging Guest Room Floor

I heard of a technique last year

when I was searching for flooring choices. I saw a few pictures online and thought I could do this myself! I started doing the brown bag flooring today in our guest room. First, I had to make sure there was no mud on the floor and it was totally clean. Then I ripped up rolls of brown construction paper into various sizes and shapes. I then mixed tacky glue with water *about 60% glue to 40% water. I used a paint roller to roll the glue onto the paper and then stuck it to the cement floor. I was really surprised about how good it looked. Looks like stone! After I finish glueing the paper to the floor I will let it dry completely, I figure a day or more and then put 3-4 coats of minwax poly over it. If any of you know for sure how many coats I need, please let me know. I had read where most people put 4 coats on. I have taken pictures, but they turned out a little dark. I plan on buying a new camera before this blog is complete. I will take more pictures as I progress on this job. It's a good thing I have a gardener's knee pad.
