The list of creative ways to use wallpaper craft ideas which appears on the bottom of this blog was created by noted NYC-artist and über crafter, Kaeti Wigeland. Kaeti has over 40 years experience working with all artistic media and she is sold on the quality and ease of wallpaper as a basic crafting and scrapbooking material. To quote Kaeti:
“Due to its characteristic quality, durability, flexibility, and beauty, modern wall coverings can be utilized in a tremendous variety of crafts. Two basic techniques can be applied to numerous projects, and the results are satisfying, professional, and stunning.”
The Floral Love Bunch Papers Pak is perfectly suited for a summer-oriented craft project. A total of 17 sheets (11 large and 6 small) of coordinated wallpaper are included in each Floral Love Bunch Papers Pak. An example of the types of papers included in the Floral style category is shown below. The offerings range from classic Victorian small scale floral pattens in pastel hues to modern large scale patterns in bold colors.

1. Cut and Paste
2. Glue and Wrap
