b.zang - the old flannel sheet sounds very good. i think washing and then fluffing in the dryer would help it be grabby.
cathe -i agree with you re: stapling. don't want it sagging. littlehud - ninnie - k3n - you all suggested white or offwhite. on thinking it over, i think you're right. crh - warm & natural? i'm afraid of the dust it would collect in those little crevices. do you vacuum yours? since it will be stapled in place, i won't be able to shake it or air-fluff in the dryer. it does sound sticky, though. thanks for the suggestions. there was a lot i didn't think of. i plan to hang up a used flannel pillowcase and test drive it today. |

We don't know everything[img]http://www.pic4ever.com/images/laie_14.gif[/img]but we do give good advice[img]http://www.pic4ever.com/images/127fs2928878.gif[/img] :wink: |
I use a product called Block Butler. It looks like batting, but arrives with plastic on both sides, because it is tacky both sides. You have to peel the plastic back and apply it to a wall, door or whatever. It is totally removeable if you need to take it off, and when you peel off the other sheet of plastic, it is nice and tacky to hold your blocks. It won't be as inexpensive as just flannel, but flannel never worked for me. I have no connection with this product, other than I am a very happy user and can recommend it.

I looked into it when I was doing mine but could only find it in the States and shipping was too high! There was a company in the UK did it but they stopped. Alright for you though, BW, you is Stateside!!! LOL |
to cover my wall, it would take two sheets (with very little trimming top and bottom) of 6 x 6. that's over $150+/- with shipping. i think i'll try flannel first.
