Make Wall Clings
Wall clings are repositionable adhesive cut-outs for your wall that you can put up and remove without tearing wallpaper or damaging paint. You can buy them precut, but making them yourself will allow you to be more innovative and save some money. Homemade wall clings can be any size, shape and color, whether abstract designs or depictions of real scenes and objects.
