I used contact paper to cover books. I had to do it in grammar school to protect the books from tearing and stuff. It’s just a plastic adhesive. Sorry, that’s the best way I could explain it.

Ugh, I gotta be honest, the contact paper decals look pretty tacky, a litle too daycare-ish for me.

Another idea that I’ve tried around my sewing area is line the wall with some bulletinboard paper for a temporary wallpaper. Double-sided tape and the occasional pushpin should hold it up. You can paint, draw, write, whatever on it (as long as it doesn’t bleed through), and when you’re bored or moving, just take it down and start over again.
Bulletinboard paper can be found in most office supply stores and come in only few colors, though, generally some pastels or generic rainbow shades.

Contact paper is most commonly used to cover paperback workbooks to help keep them in shape. It’s like a giant sleeve of tape. (Great for gradeschool workbooks < 3)
Anyways, you can find contact paper at any office/school supply store. Colors and styles may vary from where you go, but that’s where you’re going to find it.

January 11th, 2009 at 11:27 pm

January 11th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
