How to Reuse Leftover Wallpaper

Reuse leftover wallpaper to add a decorative element to everyday items around your home. Wallpaper is durable, attractive and can be used for large or small projects. Use double-sided tape to attach wallpaper to surfaces if you want to be able to change the look. Apply wallpaper adhesive to wallpaper to secure it to items and surfaces you would like to embellish permanently.

Instructions

      Use wallpaper to make cupboard, shelf or drawer liners. Measure the surface you would like to cover and cut wallpaper to fit. Wallpaper can be cleaned easily and is simple to replace if damaged.

      Give gifts wrapped in wallpaper. Wallpaper is especially useful when you have a large or oddly-shaped object you need to wrap. If you only have small pieces of extra wallpaper, use them to make gifts tags or cards.

      Add personality to books by using wallpaper to make book covers. Wallpaper is pretty, tough and simple to replace. Measure book and add 2 inches on either side to fold wallpaper over the cover of the book. Turn wallpaper inside out if you prefer book covers in a plain cream color.

      Use wallpaper to decorate a toy box or storage box. You can cover the entire box in wallpaper or cut out panels or elements to apply just to the lid or one side.

      Frame wallpaper. Measure the area inside the frame or mat and cut wallpaper to fit. Framed wallpaper ties a wallpapered wall to the rest of the room.
