Just wondering if anyone might have some innovative ideas for using scraps of gorgeous leftover wallpaper pieces.

I do have a large picture frame with 7 openings of various sizes that I think I might put some into. But I have drawn a blank as to coming up with anything else. Trying to jazz up home for selling without spending a fortune.

Just a few ideas:

A "false" bedhead
as inset into recessed door fronts or even cupboard doors
behind open shelving, backing a bookcase or backing glass cabinet fronted cupboards
Used in strips to decorate a vase or covering a wooden box
pelmets over windows
decorating tins (for instance, round tins used as pencil holders? )
on a square or round lampshade
