Flickr Finds: Janellep's Hand Stamped Wallpaper

12-03-print.jpg

As a renter, Janellep took her bedroom wall into her own hands. She created a hand-stamped wallpaper from an old wood cut printing block, some nice paper, and acrylic craft paint. The paper's edges were torn to fit the shape of her wall and the finished project was tacked in place. Take a look at the paper-making in progress:

I second that! How did you attach the paper to the wall?

hello, just saw this up here... I just used small brads/nails and hammered each corner of the paper to the wall.
thanks!
