    Default A cheap design wall

    Not having much money or a large wall, I hit upon an idea while unpacking after moving. I almost threw away a vinyl picnic cloth that I felt I no longer needed. Then noticed the felt like back and had an idea.
    My daughter hung it on my wall between 2 doors in my room and Walla here was my transportable design wall. Many times they can be bought at the dollar stores for little money.We hung it with command strips to avoid nail holes.When not in use it can betaken down and folded and put away.

    That is what I use at retreats. Love those comand stips. They hold so good and don't leave any holes in the walls.

    I use a table cloth and put it on the door of some high cabinets I have with potato chips clips. Works great for me.
