Dorm Room Silhouettes

I have a very empty wall in my new room at school. We arent allowed to paint and i hate starring at empty wall space. This is a cheap and somewhat easy way to spruce up those bare walls in your dorm or apartment.

Step 1: Tools and Supplies

Not many tools are needed for this project. simple stuff you can find around the house or with a quick trip to the nearest Target (or like store). Total cost was about $10.

Black Poster Board
Cardboard
Scissors
pencil
tape
Knife or X-acto blade (not pictured)
poster board stickies
gloves (optional and not pictured)

I really like this, it's so creative, and personalized- but it won't have the busy, cluttered look that pinning a billion posters on your wall might have.

You can use chalkboard paper as well, and then you could draw on it too. :)

At first, I thought the patch was a guitar pick! Also, you never made it clear on how this sticks to the wall! (How do you use the stickies?) Thanks!

I think he/she just taped it or used "double-sided tacky stuff". Another option would be sheet vinyl. They usually give out "scraps" at sign-making stores for free or cheap if you ask nicely. Those stick to smooth surfaces with some water or just static...

Do you not see the package of Poster Strips? They adhere to the wall and when you're ready to remove your poster, you just pull down on the strips.

[Arbitror]

They look like post-it notes to me...

[Gangreless]

It says "Poster Strips" clearly on the package. He even put a tag over it that says "poster board stickies"

Nope... I reject their existence to prove my point... yeah, I overlook simple things like that all the time >.<

To jongscx: As far as overlooking simple things, PLEASE don't feel "pregnant and alone"! Take it from one who knows first hand!

I have done something similar with my Son's room. We used contact paper which sticks well, but You're not going to be able to remove and keep it.
