Wall Decals/Adhesives using CONTACT paper

I have had this idea for over a year.  I bought the contact paper and have used it for everything but Wall Stickers.  Today I was redoing my room and was going to paint some canvases to put on the wall above the bed.  We have a platform bed I really needed something to take up a lot of space.  I got an AHA! moment so glad for those!

I usually name all of my art work even though this was only 10% painted I still named it STAND BY ME.  It's two love birds out on a branch of a tree that is bare.  Sometimes in our marriage we don't have much to give but all we need from our spouse is for them to just stand next to us.  I love Shakespeare's Sonnet 116
Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

• It worked fabulously!
• It only cost me $3 for the roll.
• It was so easy!
• It peels off the wall w/ no problem.

Convinced yet!
This size of Wall Sticker would of cost me $50 it cost me $3.  I freehanded my tree and in some areas where I made the branch to thick I would just peel it off and slim it down.  It is actually one long piece for the thick branch and then I added all the other ones on as I went along. If your not comfortable with freehand then print out your image, cut it out and trace it to the back of the contact paper.  Use scissors or an exacto knife.  I prefer scissors.

You could also use colored contact paper for the birds but I wanted to paint them.
