Line shelving or drawers, wrap gifts, covering storage boxes or containers for your craft room/ laundry room, make book covers, frame it as artwork, laminate it and use as placements

Use it for mats for your photos and frame it, use it in your scrapbooking projects, or donate it to an elementary school. Teachers, especially art teachers, ALWAYS love donated items that the kids can use for their projects. My students used wallpaper to use for their writing/math projects.

...you could make "plastic"-coated placemats...cut out squares or strips in a quilt design using various colors but all that match nicely, glue together, and then laminate it with wide clear shipping tape. Or, take it to an office supply shop to do it for you. You can also make mats for your computer mouse...or just cover dollar-store writing tablets to make small journals, and cover some lead pencils to match - (these make great little gifts with little expense) all you have to do is cut a fine narrow strip of wallpaper that matches the journal covers you make, and then do the same with a pen/pencil, too. You can glue wallpaper designs to wooden balls found in your local art shops, and make a necklace or bracelet. You can also do some crafts similar to what magazines are used for - (See Youtube for making paper boxes, etc., from magazine pages). You can also cut out large flowers from vintage wallpaper, spray them with a gloss or matte hardening compound such as; clear poly-urethane or clear nail-polish, and make some summer jewelry - like, pins. Cover a hairbrush, wallpaper a refrigerator, small kitchen appliances - like, toaster, microwave, stand-up mixer, kitchen cabinet doors, or even an old toilet, or the sink vanity. Maybe, even an old wooden headboard, or make a divider panels and cover in wallpaper, too.
