another way to use your fabric
I was just looking around today and saw this
http://thisthriftyhouse.blogspot.com...-wall-art.html I plan to use my cricket cutter and some stripe fabric to put up some sewing sayings. It will be later in the year when we move to our new house. |
Very cute! All I can think of though, is what if you wanted to remove them? I think I would try a letter on a scrap piece of painted dry wall and then try to remove the letter. Will it need Goo Gone to get off the residue? Or can you just put a another coat of paint over the residue? Do the letters come off the paint at all? I guess I am over thinking it.....

My cousin used to fabric borders on her walls using fabric starch. They were in the military and moved a lot. It removed easily and you would just have to wash the starch off the wall.
|
I have done some decorating by dipping fabric in starch and applying
It to my wall and on my white cupboards in my sewing room (That was 6 years ago)and it is still sticking. |
that is a really cool idea,thanks for sharing

(Just as a side note added later--I've had a lot of questions about how the heat and bond comes off the wall when you want to change it out--So to answer your questions--we just recently moved and I took mine off the wall after a couple of years of them being up--and they peeled off perfectly fine! They didn't leave any residue or glue behind and didn't peel off any of the wall or paint underneath. It worked great! I would always test a small patch on your walls in an inconspicuous spot just in case though.) |
I am so glad I read this post. What a neat idea for a baby's room. Or even to put sewing motifs on the sewing room wall. Thanks for sharing.
