Leftover wallpaper?

I always think of covering school and text books - and not very well either when I think of wall paper!

LOL! I used to do that & my mom used them to line drawers or the shelves in the pantry or airing cupboard (I'm talking the 1970's here..when every home had a pantry!)
But she did come unstuck once when she used ready pasted wallpaper in the airer,the clothes got stuck to the paper!:eek:

What about buying a cheap canvas and stretching the paper over it. You can then put the canvas('s) in the hall way or any spare rooms to extend the theme through the house without being OTT.

This can also be done with any picture frames you have or if your house is modern, a large clip frame.

I'd save it for patching any damage in the room you decorated with it.

However, actual spare rolls, such as unused spares from rooms I've repapered since, I use as wrapping paper.

Use it as a background when you frame photos that are smaller than the frame

you could go to the store and find some that goes nicely with it and get a sample, and decoupage something!
i did it with a big mirror i got from wilkinsons for £20. Looks very shabby chic and it's an original xx
