Using left overs

No not food ....wallpaper!

We've just redecorated our lounge, just one wall of paper that is 7 drops but because of the pattern repeat we had to buy 3 rolls and we have loads left including lots of off cuts.

I have just stitched a wedding gift for my hairdresser but I can't share just yet. However I can share my wallpaper wrapping!


I cut out some flowers to make a label and found some wooden buttons in my stash. I love how it turned out.

I'm using a lot of the paper wrapping books for a mystery book lucky dip at our Afternoon Tea at scouts. But there will still be lots left!

Hi Clare. That is a wonderful way of repurposeing your wallpaper left overs. You can't even tell and the buttons really personalizes it.

Hello Clare: This is a fabulous idea, love the idea of using for wrapping paper, looking forward to seeing what you gave the couple.

I love the look of that wallpaper, Clare! There are so many truly beautiful wallpaper designs out now. It's making me re-think my sworn statement that I would never put wallpaper in my home again having had to take it out of almost every single room over the years :) Great idea to use it for wrapping paper, too!
