    Hi, I am planning to wallpaper some cardboard boxes to use as storage boxes that match my bedroom.
    Has anyone any recommendations for types of glue to use? Should I be using wallpaper paste or some kind of craft glue? Thanks

    Wallpaper paste might be a bit wet and could make the cardboard soggy, any PVA glues "craft glue or wood glue"would work you might even get away with a pritt stick.

    ... or double-sided sticky tape, or staples!

    Thanks but I want it all stuck down, rather than having bits loose, if you know what I mean.

    Think I would be inclined to go with pva rather than pritt (or similar) stick.

    I used wallpaper glue. I bought the powder and just added less water so the mixtures wasn't to wet. It worked well for me.
