Creating Wallpaper Crafts requires one central element…wallpaper! The benefits of using wallpaper as opposed to any other kind of paper is that it’s more durable and the choices in design are abundant.
Some turn to creating wallpaper crafts because they own some extra wallpaper (left over rolls from a previous decorating project) and want to know what they can do with it, while others already enjoy doing crafts and are looking for something “new” to create rather inexpensively. So if you don’t already have some on hand or want more than what you have, where can you find wallpaper cheap?
Wallpaper Sample Books
Wallpaper is constantly being discontinued as new papers are introduced to the market. When this happens, retailers who sell wallpaper (including wallpaper/paint stores, hardware/home improvement centers, decorating centers, etc.) no longer need the sample books that house these wallpaper patterns, so they are eager to get rid of them…for free!
These wallpaper sample books have pages large enough to make most of the crafts mentioned at Wallpaper Crafts Place, and they usually come with matching companions…perfect for creating coordinating items or “quilted” crafts. If you can get your hands on a sample book, you’ve just struck gold!
Clearance Sales
Another source for cheap wallpaper is the clearance rack at these same retailers. Many discontinued patterns or slow sellers end up here at a fraction of it’s regular retail price. For a few bucks you can get gobs and gobs of paper to create your crafts.
Garage Sales & Online Auctions
Many people who have used wallpaper in their homes find themselves with extra paper on hand. While they recognize they don’t have a need for it any longer, they don’t want to just throw it away. So, they offer these rolls for sale at yard sales or online at places like eBay at a reasonable cost.
Wallpaper Crafts Store
The Wallpaper Crafts Place has a clearing house of Discontinued Wallpaper and Sample Books in Central Virginia. While these resources are used to create the crafts mentioned on this site for resale the wallpaper is also offered for sale as well. Check out the Wallpaper Crafts Store today.
