What to Do With Old Wallpaper?

If you have old wallpaper at home or leftover wallpaper, you can come up with several use cases for them. Few months back, I spent weekends researching what to do with old wallpaper. I am going to mention several ideas below. 

What To Do With Old Wallpaper on Walls?

• One creative idea I tried was transforming old wallpaper into unique and stylish drawer liners. I cut the wallpaper into pieces that fit my drawers and used adhesive to attach them. This gave the interior of my drawers a new fresh look.

• Another fun idea was to create bookmarks. I cut the wallpaper into strips, then laminated them to make durable and eye-catching bookmarks. 

• I also experimented with making decorative coasters. By cutting the wallpaper into squares and fixing them on wooden bases, I created a set of coasters that were stylish. To protect the wallpaper, I covered it with an acrylic sealant.

• I also used the old wallpaper to cover the backs of bookshelves. This gave the shelves an eye-catching color and pattern and made my collection of books stand out.

Reusing old wallpaper gives it a new life and allows you to get creative and spend hours working on it as a hobby.

What to Do With Old Wallpaper

1. Frame the Leftover Wallpaper: This is one of the easiest wallpaper diy projects. You can just frame the leftover wallpaper and put it up on your wall. It gives a very vintage and elegant look to the walls.

2. Wallpaper a Dresser: It's a lot of fun to cover an old dresser with scrap wallpaper. It's a much faster and easier alternative to sanding, priming, painting, and sealing. 

3. Line the Back of a Shelf: Make the back of a kitchen cabinet more interesting by using some of that remaining bespoke panel. Remove the door to create an open shelf if you like how it appears.

4. Wallpaper your Refrigerator: This is one of the more daring wallpaper installations I've seen utilising only one roll or fewer.

5. Wallpaper Your Door: To cover the width of the door, one and a half rolls of leftover wallpaper will suffice.

6. Make a Sign: Take a piece of plywood and cover it with the wallpaper you have left over. Then, for a fun and whimsical DIY wall hanging, add some text or your Harry Potter-style house crest.

7. Add Interest to Your Desk with Wallpaper: You can give your desk drawer a little personality with very little material.

8. Mix and Match Paint and Wallpaper on a Shelf: If you don't have quite enough leftover wallpaper to do the project you have in mind, don't be afraid to mix in a little paint to the equation. 

9. Cover the Top of a Table with Wallpaper: While we wouldn't recommend using it on a high-traffic area like a kitchen counter, covering a side table is a simple DIY that is a fantastic way to repurpose your unused wallpaper.

These are a few uses of wallpaper that I know of. D tell me if you know some other tricks with leftover wallpaper.
