One of the questions I got asked most through comments and emails about my entryway makeover was....how'd you hang the fabric....here's the answer.
After you cut your fabric to the desired size, get a bucket and a bottle of starch and soak the fabric...this only takes a minute....just make sure the entire piece of fabric is wet.
Next....hang it up. The process of hanging it was pretty simple...although you may need an extra set of hands to help hold the fabric up while you adjust it. Smooth the wrinkles out and viola....fabric wallpaper. Imagine all the projects you could use this application for. The best part....when your ready to change it up....it literally peels away like a sticker leaving the walls mess free.
To finish up the edges we added some thin moulding and called it done!

BACK IN THE EIGHTIES WE USE TO DO THIS BUT IT WAS SHEETS WE WOULD TAKE A FLAT SHEET AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE WALL AND STAPLE THEM TO THE WALL THE PUT A WOODEN STRIP UP AND COVER THAT WITH THE EXTRA PART OF THE SHEET FROM THE BOTTOM IT LOOKED VERY NICE MY DAUGHTERS HAD THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE THEMED ROOM IN OUR RENTAL HOME IT WAS ON ONLY ONE BIG WALL 2 TWIN SHEETS WOULD NORMALLY FIT THE WALL AND THEN THE OTHER THREE WERE PAINTED PINK BACK THEN IT WAS SURELY A BIG HIT XOXO SHERRI

What a marvelous idea :-) I have just the spot for some fabric wallpaper-my stepdaughter's room. I love the fact that it is so easy to remove. Thank you so much for sharing.
