For all you creative folk out there, always looking for your next project this may be the thing for you!  There are many different ways you can use your vintage flower paper to turn your chosen room into a girly getaway. Once you have chosen your vintage flower paper design from digitalpaper.shop you can choose a feature wall which will give a unique look to any room. You can simply paste the paper straight onto the wall or using plain canvases cover and glue them with your design paper and hang as eclectically as you wish.

Another feature you can do using arts and crafts is decoupage. This is up there with my favourite craftwork along with papier-mâché which I used to love doing at school. 

Decoupage is when you cover your furniture in your chosen paper and glue using the appropriate adhesive, for longevity paint over with clear varnish.  You can refresh so many things in this way, from light switches to sideboards, coasters, mobile phone cases, electric ceiling fans the list is endless.
