Try craft stores or office supply stores (which is used to cover school books.) Also try places like Walmart, Home Depot, etc. for contact paper used to line cabinets and drawers (which comes in lots of fun designs too!) Good luck!
the guy looks like Lincoln
Where can you find contact paper? other then the internet?
But my walls are stucco-ed!!! Damn dorm rooms!
But it looks soo ‘happy hands at home’. =(
you could even take those pictures and glue them to the contact paper, and stick those up on the wall! Even fabric!
Haha, she said danish!!
Uhhxhi, almost any hardware store.
breakingandbleeding, i’d assume that if you moved the image frequently that the adhesive on the back would wear off. plus depends on where it’s going to be. {example, she had a apple decal on the stove. eventually it will get dry and crispy. depending on how long the image stays in one spot.}
i love that!
That was so RAD! I’m going to make some decals for my corset workshop!
adriana de hondurass…no te conozco pero que cool!
I don’t think that you should be living…
Is it possible to use contact paper on brick walls? That’s all we have in the dorms I’m going off to in September.
can u sent me a pic of ur dog gracie? i really want that sillouett of her!!!
ThreadBangers, I love this idea for my dorm!! I have looked into it, and it seems that contact paper may be a little difficult to remove. Is there a specific kind I can buy that is easier to remove?
Thanks!!
i really love this idea.. but i’m planning on going to college in a year or so & if i make one i really like & wanna take with me to college.. after time do they get old? would i have to remake it? or do these things last for years & year?
check out slicksticks. they have great wall decals and they’re really easy to work with.
Would anyone know where to get contact paper??

i just got a new place i love meg she helped me sooo much
I heard that it damages the walls ….is that true? because if we damage the white paint on the walls or make it sticky, we are fined.
