Wallpaper sample books and old wallpaper rolls were always part of my childhood artsy craftsy times. In preparation for May day (May 1st) we would create wallpaper cones and fill them with candies and flowers for our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. (We would hang them on the door and ring the bell and run!) Sandy Gordon from Art Tea Life blog has yet another good use for old wallpaper. This great photo tutorial could be used with children to make homemade gifts with an adult to manage the iron and machine perhaps.
