Hey Bees!

Wallpaper is back from the 70s with a cool vengeance! Now I am obsessed with textured fabric or wallpaper damask. I think pocketfolds like this would be brilliant. I have seen some posts on covering your pocketfolds with fabric but I am worried about fraying and wrinkles. What about wallpaper? Can I cover a pocketfold with wallpaper? As there are always complications in the DIY world with even the most fool-proof craft, what can possibly be the downside or difficulties?

Hmm... I'm not sure if you could necessarily do that, but you may be able to. Have you ever worked with wallpaper on walls? I wallpapered a bookcase a while ago, and the gummy backing on it (before you get it wet) makes the paper super heavy and has a weird texture to it. I'm not sure if glue/double sided tape would work. I dunno, maybe I'm just smell sensitive too, but the wallpaper adhesive is kinda smelly. A Bellyband or an envelope liner might be a better bet then trying to completely cover your pocketfolder in the wallpaper.

I did a quick google and found other "vintage wallpaper wedding" ideas:
