Cover Containers with Scrapbook Paper

Glass jars, containers, candles, and cans can easily be decorated for any season or event with just a few pretty sheets of scrapbook paper and some adhesive. Try placing the paper inside the jars for a more polished look, or secure the paper on the outside of the container with ribbon and string for a more casual look. Seasonal scrapbook paper transforms the look of glass votives to fit the occasion.

Create Artwork with Scrapbook Paper

Cutting shapes out of scrapbook paper and making a decorative collage on canvas is a gorgeous way to create inexpensive art for your walls. I also love the idea of creating a gallery wall of framed scrapbook paper. If you rent, or just want a more temporary focal point, using a gallery wall of framed scrapbook paper has a similar impact as wallpaper.

  1. I use scrapbook paper like crazy! But my 2 favorites are… first I use it around used nestle quick containers. They have a small and large size and it’s perfect for putting stuff in like scissors or make up or hair bands and barrettes. My grandson puts little toy sets I made for him with spiderman paper. Also used frosting containers make perfect pen and pencil holders!

  2. I loved the idea on useing scrapbooking paper for my walls in my scrapbook room. Now i need to know what to paste them with on the wall?

  3. Very Nice and Creative Post. These are perfect decoration ideas. In my opinion decoration is subject to personal taste and that always differs from person to person.

  4. I have refurbished a unit that I use for my books.. On top and the cupboard doors how do I seal the paper so it can last a long time..
