Wallpaper Hangings

" Add wow to your walls without making a dent in your budget. Wallpaper is a fantastic material to use to hang as wall art because it comes in so many patterns and so many different colors, and the width is pre-cut for you. All you have to do is measure it to the length that you need and you're ready to go. You're going to secure a top and bottom with a dowel rod. These are just from the craft store, cut into the length that you need. Just make them an inch or two longer on each end of your paper. I just spray painted this one white to pick up on the leaf and the dragonfly motif in the paper. Position this at the top. Now, make sure that you cut the top and bottom of the paper with a straight edge because if you cut the top of the paper straight, the project will hang straight. Tuck it under a little bit. Roll the paper under there, and then use a staple gun to secure the paper in place. Just staple every few inches, in here. Now, wall covering you can pick up by the roll at the home improvement store or you can also order it out of a wallpaper book, maybe $20 to $30 a roll and you can get multiple screens out of this. Where else can you get that much wall art for just $20 or $30? I'm stapling the top. You'll wanna do the exact same thing to the bottom by hanging a dowel rod at the top from the bottom. It helps the project hang straight and without curling on the edges. Once you put your last staple in, go back up to the top and secure the wallpaper around the dowel with a little bead of glue. Just run it down the top of the dowel, just to secure it and tuck that little edge under neatly. Then, to get ready to hang it, take a piece of decorative cord. Pick something that picks up on an accent color on the wall covering or something else in your room, and then just tie it as a loop around each end, and maybe just put a little, make it a decorative knot. Do it to that Side. This side again, and then hang it from a hook on the wall. You can hang a single panel or you can do multiples for an even bigger impact."
