You know, they say “Family is love,” or “Peace is where you make it,” or something like that?
I see them all the time, and I’d love to have some of the more colorful ones to decorate the kids rooms with, but really I can’t shell out $50 bucks for something my kids will most likely squirt with water, peel down, or cover with crayon scribbles or something.
No, I need something a little more budget friendly, and something I won’t cry over when if somehow it gets peed on because anything is fair game with the boys running around.
But anyway, instead of those fantastic wall stickies, I got to work on some equally fantastic decorations using my favorite scrapbooking tool.
(No I don’t have a Cricut….budget people…remember?)
My Martha Stewart Circle Cutter:
And then I dug through my piles of scrapbook paper to one of my favorite “Value Stacks” and got to work:
I cut out a whole bunch of different circles:
Then using simple white tacks in the middle I hung them on the wall:
Here is how they looked hung up:
Not as Fancy as the Wall Stickies, but still better then plain white walls!
The kids play area is coming along nicely…..more photos soon!:
Great idea! The kids and I decorated our laundry room walls by making our own wall stickers. We used clear contact paper and drew sea creatures using permanent markers. Then we cut around the designs, peeled off the back and stuck them on the wall. They were colorful, creative and easily removable.
