Ok, I can't stop. I have these wall paper scraps laying about and they are beckoning me to use them.
I'm one of those people who tire easily of my finished craft projects. I enjoy them for a little while but am always happy to move on and redo them just for the fun of it.
I pimped my Fira chest of drawers back in October but decided to try wallpaper for a change.
It's so super simple. Lay the drawer on the back of the rolled out piece of wall paper and use the drawer as a template.
I cut a piece out roughly first , spray glued the back of it, placed the drawer on it and then neatened it by cutting along the edge of the drawer.
After turning the drawer over I cut the notch out with the knife from the front. Reapeat for all drawers.
Easy peasy.
Och så snyggt!

The wallpaper looks so clean and fresh on there. What paper is it? Do you have it somewhere else?

it looks very nice. So harmoniously. Wonderful. I painted my fira drawers white. It was a lot of work. I like it nevertheless ;) The sewing machine sleeve reminds me that I want to do one for my machine, too. Maybe soon...

It's Dotted Ovals by Neisha Crosland. There's a US link in the post to where it can be bought. I don't have t on any wall just on a couple of file folders. I ordered a sample which turned out was really big (over a yard long)which led to my wall paper craft mania :)

Thank you so much for this info. I'm forver looking for small and easy projects but rarely even get started with them... This seemed so nice, and it's easy to make so many pieces of the home look exactly like you!

I love your ideas! If you ever decide to try another book project I have a new idea for you: 101 uses for Wallpaper Scraps! Only 97 left to go :-)

Too bad that book already exists... :) It was released in April. They only did 50 though...

Hello,
What kind of cool knife is that you are using? I've not seen one like it here in the States!
Posted by: Kristi | August 12, 2009 at 03:29 PM
It's a really cheapo thing. I think it's like $1.50!You can't switch the blade so from an environmental perspective it's no good but the blades last longer (I think) than other blades and... it's white...
Oh, it says Paragon on it if that helps...

Okay. I'm on it. Spray glue. I love it!

I feel better! I'm not alone to change often little things at home! I love the papers you use, I dont have the same in France :(
You inspired me to organise my apartment. Thx for that :)

Hi Benita,
I'm again the weird dutch girl who has started reading your blog in the order you posted stuff so I can follow the changes, and I just love how there are endless posts waiting for me every time I've got a couple of hours to kill. ;-) I dread the moment I will have caught up. ;-)
Anyway, just wanted to say I like the change! The other option was a really nice idea but this looks better. Really nice!
Love,
Thea
