Don't toss that scrap of wallpaper turn it into a smashing style statement. Try our creative projects using a single roll or less.
Table Topper
Make over a hand-me-down side table with decoupage. Paint the table with two coats of metallic paint and a coat of metallic glaze for extra shimmer. Let dry. Cut a scrap of wallpaper to fit the top. Coat the table with decoupage glue, position the paper, and cover it with several layers of decoupage glue. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Finish the top with a spray sealant.
Bold Service Cart
A basic glass-front bookcase becomes a stellar service cart with just a roll of wallpaper. After removing the legs and doors, prime and paint the bookcase. When dry, wallpaper the outside surfaces and install casters to the bottom. Reattach doors.
Welcome Sight
Add flair to an entry using wallpaper. Here, open locker cubbies transform the entry and make it easy for the whole family to access and organize gear. Pretty wallpaper lines the backs of the lockers for style and dimension.
New Impressions
After removing the shirred fabric and rods from the panels of these hinged, decorative shutters, we gave the frame a fresh coat of paint. Then we tacked wallpaper-covered plywood panels onto the back to make a zippy privacy screen.
Editor's Tip: Let loose! Wallpaper is a fun medium, so play around and see what needs a new look in your space. Accessories such as these are quick, affordable updates.
Wallpaper Headboard
Retro bird wallpaper instantly dressed up this once plain wood headboard. To get the look, simply cut the wallpaper according the shape of the headboard. Attach using the manufacturer's instructions.
Retro Redo
A discarded display cabinet gained new life with lipstick-pink paint and sections of punchy damask paper inside and out.
Editor's Tip: Keep your jewelry organized by attaching clothes hooks and cup hooks to a wall-hung cabinet.
New Front
Use wallpaper inserts trimmed with molding to dress up bland or dated cabinet fronts. To update a boring built-in, first apply colorful paint. Next add flair to the cabinet fronts by attaching decorative wallpaper in coordinating colors. Finish by framing the wallpaper inserts with painted molding and adding new hardware.
Dresser Revamp
We used floral paper to rejuvenate the drawer fronts of a tired dresser. And the lampshade project is a snap. Just cut paper slightly larger than the shade. Adhere, pressing firmly to smooth wrinkles. Once dry, simply slice off the excess paper with a craft knife. Use the same technique to cover artist's canvasses with coordinating papers for instant art.
Editor's Tip: Look for artist's canvasses that are fully wrapped rather than stapled along the edges for a more finished look for your unframed artwork.
