Wallpapering the inside of a bookcase?
Hi, I just started lurking on the board before, so I should introduce myself! DH and I just got married this past June and we are settling in before the school year starts up again. DH is a band director, and I used to be a music teacher, but moved to the middle of nowhere without a full time job....so now I'm busy crafting away!
Anyways, my parents have a plain bookcase they want to get rid of, and we're planning on taking it. Since it doesn't fit in with our furniture at all, I'm going to paint it and then put wallpaper on the back wall of it. Has anyone done this before? My worries are they the wallpaper is going to be more expensive than it's worth since I'll have to buy a whole roll (and here's hoping I can find a pattern I like!). Has anyone done this with fabric instead, and maybe just modge podged it on there??
TIA!

my read shelf:
I was just going to say, use fabric! There's also spray on adhesives. Twice as tacky glue mixed with a little water and then painted onto the bookcase prior to aplying the fabric wil work too. Just lay the bookcase on its back while the glue, adhesive, modge podge, or starch is drying. All will work fine.
It's gonna be beautiful. Make sure to post pix when you're done

I read a blog where this woman did the back of all her kitchen cabinets with wrapping paper. She got it from Hallmark & it had a sticky back!
It's somewhere on here:

i just used wrapping paper to cover the back of my LO's bookshelf. i made the mistake of using just the regular kind so i highly suggest getting a the heavier stuff. in the light you can see some crinkling but i'm hoping once i get everything set up on there it won't be as noticeable.
