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!
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.)
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!
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!
I absolutely love this idea! :)
What a clever idea. I like that nothing goes to waste and one could always share with another the 'scraps'.
Love these ideas. Thanks.
Love these ideas! So creative! The framed wallpaper looks fantastic :)
Wow this is a faboulous idea.Gorgeous papers.I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!
Does anyone wallpaper rooms anymore? It's funny how it goes in and out of fashion. this is a good in-between.
so so lovely!
What a pretty idea. This offers a lot of versatility.
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...
Wow, there are some great ideas here, thanks for sharing, Katherine!

I love those ideas, love the picture with the framed wallpaper, so cute11
great ideas...
think i'll try this in my guest room
Looks great and is the ideal way for wallpaper-hesitant me to venture in. Thanks Katie.
That's a good idea for someone like me who will never have my walls covered with wallpaper by choice! Thanks for sharing it.
Cool blog. It reminds me of the Idea Room.
This idea would be great for an apartment where they will not let you paint. You can make them any size you want.
I love that idea. I love the one from Dee (above) too about making them as large as you might want.
What a great idea. I never would have thought of that!
