I found some wonderful ways to use wallpaper scraps.I came across these creative and easy ideas for using leftover wallpaper.
Mount wallpaper remnants (especially antique or hand-painted ones) on fiberboard frames and then hang on the wall. A unique piece of art! Image from Gaita Interiors
Cover the surface of a coffee table or small tabletop and then coat with polyurethane (or have a piece of glass cut to fit on top.) Image from Design Sponge
Transform open shelving by adhereing to the inside of the shelves, so much nicer than just plain paint.
Cut flowers, birds, and shapes from decorative wallpaper and paste them onto a wall. I think this is a great idea for a teens or child’s room.
Decorate the front of a chest of drawers by simply unscrewing the knobs, then lightly sand the surface. Cut strips to size―slightly smaller than the drawer front to create a framed effect, or large enough to completely cover the space―and adhere. Replace knobs. So easy! Image redbook magazine
Have fun, I’d love to know if you try any of these ideas.
What a lovely idea Katherine…I must try this one day…do you think you can also use rice paper or strong types of wrapping paper?
Cheers!
Oh yes, absolutely. Have fun
I absolutely love this idea! 🙂
so happy to share
What a clever idea. I like that nothing goes to waste and one could always share with another the 'scraps'.
recycle, upcycle decorate!
Love these ideas. Thanks.
Hugs
Love these ideas! So creative! The framed wallpaper looks fantastic 🙂
That is one of my favorites!
Wow this is a faboulous idea.Gorgeous papers.I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Hugs!
Great idea!
happy you like it 🙂
Does anyone wallpaper rooms anymore? It's funny how it goes in and out of fashion. this is a good in-between.
I think people prefer to wallpaper only one accent wall now. Hugs
so so lovely!
Hugs!
What a pretty idea. This offers a lot of versatility.
I love the ease of it too. and no waste!
I have some wonderful mid-century wallpaper I use to wrap presents – it's a townscape, very Lowry-esque. Maybe I should save some for decor…
Oh yes, I can just picture it in frames or on the top of a desk or table. 🙂
Wow, there are some great ideas here, thanks for sharing, Katherine!

great ideas…

Oh please share if you do. Hugs
Looks great and is the ideal way for wallpaper-hesitant me to venture in. Thanks Katie.
baby steps, giggle
That's a good idea for someone like me who will never have my walls covered with wallpaper by choice! Thanks for sharing it.
You can find scraps at the wallpaper shops too. Hugs
Cool blog. It reminds me of the Idea Room.
Thank you I haven’;t heard of the idea room I’ll check it out 😉
This idea would be great for an apartment where they will not let you paint. You can make them any size you want.
Perfect!
I love that idea. I love the one from Dee (above) too about making them as large as you might want.
I love that this post sparked ideas. 🙂
What a great idea. I never would have thought of that!
