DIY Wall Decals Made out of Scrapbook Paper (They're Removable!)

DIY wall decals made from scrapbook paper and contact paper. Peel and stick, removable, and perfect for kids rooms! Create any phrase or shapes you'd like!

We have a lot of empty wall space in the basement, so I decided to create yet another space to display my children's artwork (they already have one in their bedroom that is completely full....all the time).

I simply strung up some ribbon with tacks and hung their artwork with tiny clothespins. It looked cute, but I thought it needed some sort of lettering above the display. Vinyl is great, but pricey and mostly comes in solid colors. I wanted to do something with some fun and colorful paper so I created these DIY wall decals!

DIY wall decalsÂ made from scrapbook paper and contact paper. Peel and stick, removable, and perfect for kids rooms! Create any phrase or shapes youâ€™d like!

Scrapbooking Paper
Contact Paper
Mod Podge (or spray adhesive)
Foam Brush

Brush a layer of mod podge onto the top of a piece of contact paper, then place a sheet of paper on top of that.
Press down firmly and get rid of the air bubbles. Place under a board or something heavy to keep it flat while drying.
Once the sheets have dried, they are ready to be cut!
You can use a cricut or stencils to cut into desired shapes.

Note: I haven't tried spray adhesive, but would imagine that it would work just fine as an alternative method. Just spray and place a board over until set.

I noticed a few of my corners and edges coming off of the contact paper when I went to peel the backings off. I guess the mod podge wasn't thick enough in those areas. I just added a little tacky glue to fix the small spots and they were good to go.

Custom peel and stick letters that are nice and sturdy, easy to place onto a wall, reposition-able, and inexpensive!

And these aren't limited to lettering! The possibilities are endless especially with the huge variety of cricut cartridges. You can make all sorts of custom scenes for your wall.

Our basement is brighter lit than most basements, but it is still hard to take a good picture down there. You get the idea.
