I,too, made my own wall, but what I used was a very large plastic tablecloth that has a flannel backing that was bought years ago for Christmas. I put it on wall using push pins and it holds really great. It is large enough that I pieced a full size quilt on it and was big enough to hold it. It reaches from the ceiling to the floor. Might try that if you don't want big holes in the wall.

Try using a felt "crossword puzzle" wall block - large enough for placing blocks just by pressing by hand, no need for pins, etc. Just need to push-pin the upper corners to keep block on wall. Mother-in-law gave to hubby, which I "took over".....measures 3' x 4'. Works well.

Then used double sided carpet tape to stick it to the wall. Works great and very inexpensive. I think the board was 1.99, flannel 2.99 and tape was 2.97. I had spray adheasive at home.

I spent the "big bucks" for the Block Butler thinking it was the answer to all my problems. It will only stick to the wall once or twice and the block will only stick to it about the same. I followed all instructions and stored it with its protective plastic and what a waste of time and energy. I threw it out! You could purchase a piece of foam core board (size of a sheet of plywood), cover it with a flannel sheet and lean it up against a wall or just use masking tape to put the flannel sheet on your wall - it won't harm the wall and pieces stick to it beautifully.
