Tutorial: How to Make Wall Stickers From Contact Paper


I found this new tutorial on making wall stickers. This is ideal for those renting properties, or for those who just don't feel like painting an entire wall. It's also a great alternative to using a wallpaper border. It's very easy, you can even get your kids involved! The great thing is that the contact paper will not pull paint away from your walls!

You will need:

Contact Paper
Acrylic Craft Paint
Scissors
Sponge brush, or sponge

1) Cut Several pieces of clear contact paper into squares, and flatten them over night. Heavy books work well for this.

2) Using a sponge brush, paint the entire surface of each square with undiluted acrylic (white) paint in smooth strokes. Or, dab it on for a more textured look. It's your choice.

3) Draw your design in pencil, or marker as an outline. In this photo, they drew butterflies.

4)Paint inside the lines, in any design you choose.

5) Cut them out and apply!
