Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Vintage wallpaper makes a fun collage background

by

I scored some rolls of vintage wallpaper and a large frame with no glass and it gave me an idea for a collage background. I left the curl in the paper. The bottom looks like it is being held down with a real rock. I added die cut scissors to the wallpaper pattern. Other recycled elements include a piece of advertising that includes the words “Paper shows you mean business”, mirrors, paint swatches, some other photos and a Banksy rubber stamped image as if it is on the “wall” of the magazine page with a dimensional candy-like heart with the word “hugs” floating away.
