Instructions

    Use wallpaper paste to cover walls with any longer lengths of wallpaper you have - this will ensure there are no gaps and will give you a base to work with. Here I have alternated floral and striped wallpapers.

    Cut squares and rectangles from off-cuts of wallpaper, wrapping paper or patterned paper and paste them at random on top of the wallpaper base.

    The fun part is experimenting with using different papers and shapes together to create a unique 'patchwork' finish.
