The only problem was I used the foil type paper...went up great but I'm still scrapping it off!!! Water can't penetrate the foil and that's what helps to remove the paper. A lesson learned. I've used this method again this Christmas but used the right type paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144832544285126067.post-73755807618651602682011-03-17T23:48:44.719-04:002011-03-17T23:48:44.719-04:00I'm moving next weekend and can't wait to ...I'm moving next weekend and can't wait to try this in the new place!!!

Simply peel a corner back with your finger just to get a hold of it to get it started then just pull and it will all peel off. trust me, this is amazingly easy and quick! The surface underneath will be unharmed. you can even wash and reuse the fabric for another project. My daughter did this in her dorm room, on the day she moved out she left it till the very last moment to rip it off as she walked out the door!MMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375594391919581945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144832544285126067.post-4930825454202910462008-05-23T17:41:00.000-04:002008-05-23T17:41:00.000-04:00What a cute room!!!
