Free Wall Paper Books

I'm not sure if everyone knows you can get free wallpaper sample books at Sherwin Williams and other places that sell wallpaper. They pull out of date books at least once per month. They're GREAT for so many crafts. I use them in photo frames, paper doll clothes etc. I love the black photo corner tabs (Dollar Tree) to put photos in the center of a frame using paper for the background. I use brooches or shiny bling buttons on them in frames or for centers on paper flowers. They make great drawer liners or backgrounds on bookshelves. The books are full of border strips with matching paper. Sometimes you get a book full of cloth pages to go with the paper. Endless uses!

    You know just the other day I was thinking how great it would be to have some old wallpaper books...as you said there are some many way to use them. Have a super-duper Thanksgiving.

    I just found a 1929 wallpaper sampler at a flea market. Can't wait to share it. This is great advice. Thanks for sharing with us! Nice to meet you. Thanks for entering my giveaway.

    Chrissie, you can get them all the time. I just stop by and ask if they have any out of date books and they walk over and pull anywhere from 5 to 10 for me. There are so many crafts I use them for. I can't wait to see what you do with yours!

    Holy cow, I have never thought of that. I work with interior designers everyday and they all have oodles of wallpaper books. I am going to ask for their cast off books. Thanks for stopping by "In His Grip".
