Here’s a quick and easy alternative to wall paper, paint, stenciling, etc… It’s amazingly simple and completely removable and reusable
hooray for fabric!
I had so much fun with this. You’ll need:
– Fabric
-Cornstarch
-Water
-Paint brush
1. Cut out your design pieces from the fabric. I used the circles and the diamonds. The circles are about 3″ in diameter
2. Add 1 TB cornstarch to 1 cup water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and then boil until it turns opaque and about the consistency of shampoo.
3. Paint your fabric pieces on both sides
4. Stick to the wall and you’re done. Ta- dah!
When you’re ready to redecorate they peel right off. You can wipe away any cornstarch residue with a wet cloth.

Wow I’m so impressed with all the things people think of to do with fabric! I’d like to share a link to this tutorial on sewwhattoday.blogspot.com on September 14!
I am just dropping by from U-Create and had to tell you what a great idea that is! My mind is spinning with decorating possibilities. I saw something similar to this but using Heat n’ Bond. This would be even cheaper and I already have all the ingredients! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Happy to have you:)
These are my kind of projects! Happy to be following.
