Have you ever wallpapered with book pages?

Yes, I'm spending too much time on pinterest.

I'm wondering how much bother it is, and if the corners of the pages look a bit tatty. But maybe not! Anyone with any experience?

I have done it with magazine pages. Just regular wallpaper paste, but I found you need to get the paper really wet for the best sticking right up to the edges. And use a wallpapering brush to stretch it evenly onto the wall. Suspect it will depend on the type of paper your book is printed on. Do a trial corner first. Do remember that unlike wallpaper, book paper can yellow and / or fade in daylight.

I tend to see this in the toilets of funky bars/pubs.

Step away from pinterest. I imagine it would be a pain to do, take forever and then bits will peel off. Pictures on pinterest make it look good though.

I bought a book of British wildflowers to attempt the downstairs loo, but have chickened out and will just make a few pictures instead!
