Now Available...Wall Dressed Up Movable Murals!
Wow! We are so excited and we know you will be too! You have all been asking for re-positionable "peel and stick" murals and we have found the most amazing premium product to print our Movable Muraldesigns on! This product is easily repositionable, won't tear or leave any residue. It is SO EASY to just place on your wall, and if you don't like where you put it, just move it! It is thin, matte and made of a beautiful matte fabric like material, not a shiny vinyl!
Here is a preview of our newest "Movable Mural". It is a series of colorful patterned trucks that will liven up the walls of your favorite little boy's room. Line them up or even paint the bottom of the wall green and the top blue for sky and have these trucks traverse up and down some hills!
You can create a headboard like this in any size (twin, full, queen, king, ca king) using our Wall Dressed Up Wrought Iron Mural Transfer. This is a fun project and you can create a headboard like this using our wrought iron elements! This headboard was created using only one wrought iron order for $68 (we even had leftovers)! This is a fraction of the cost of a “real” wrought iron headboard. It’s a great value and a really fun project.
14 year old Lindsay had redecorated her room in beautiful shades of steel blue and brown. All that was missing was a headboard! We will show you pictures from start to finish of her headboard project. This entire project took about 2 hours from start to finish. Lindsay’s beautiful bed looks complete now that she has a “headboard”!
This is Lindsay! Here she is measuring the length that she wants her headboard to be!
She cut the wrought iron pieces apart, leaving the backing paper on and did a rough layout of the design she wanted for her headboard.
Lindsay measured to make sure the medallion was centered and would be above the her decorative bed pillows and marked center with a light pencil mark. She taped up a few pieces to get the height correct and then started rubbing the medallion onto the wall!
This shows Lindsay rubbing the mural transfer off the transfer paper onto her wall. Only the thin as paint artwork transfers, making your mural look hand painted!
Here she has a little help continuing to rub the elements on the wall. Light pencil marks and the use of a level make sure that the design goes up straight and even!
Another picture of the mural going up!
The finishing touches….
Here is the finished project! Great job Lindsay!
New Application for Bird In The Wall and Breakaway Brick Mural Design
Well, Sue has already come up with a different way to apply the "Bird in the Wall" mural and we both really like how it looks. She just cut the brick a bit so it would line up with the edge of the bird section. She applied the brick section first and then applied the sky and ivy section with the ivy draping over the brick. She cut the brick section to line up with the sky section (you do not have to be EXACT) because the transfers are about 90% opaque and she didn't want any of the brick showing through the lighter sky. That was really the only modification, and it was easy to do. We think it really ties the brick and bird section together.
We just wanted to show you another way to apply this fun and versatile mural! It certainly works well as separate elements also. Have fun and send us some pictures of the design in your home and we will post them here.
