Wallpaper Scraps Crafts and Decorating

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!

    What a clever idea. I like that nothing goes to waste and one could always share with another the 'scraps'.

    Does anyone wallpaper rooms anymore? It's funny how it goes in and out of fashion. this is a good in-between.

    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. 🙂

    This idea would be great for an apartment where they will not let you paint. You can make them any size you want.
