Why I love this craft
I love craft projects that help me cut down on my stash of scraps. For this particular project, you can use any wallpaper scraps you have on hand. The only other materials you’ll need are a manilla folder and scrap ribbon! Easy peasy!
Can I use any wallpaper?
What makes this craft project super easy (and cute) is using peel-n-stick wallpaper. If you don’t have the sticky back kind, you can use mod podge to apply scrap paper. My heat press method would be beneficial in helping smooth out any wrinkles and prevent any bubbles in the paper while drying.
The inspiration for this craft:
I’ve made lots of different styles of bookmarks, but I haven’t made any using scrap wallpaper. While this was a first, I certainly see more of these being made in the future. They make great gifts!
