Vinyl Wall Art

Apartments can look desolate without something decorative on the walls. But nail holes for paintings can come out of your security deposit when you leave, and painting anything interesting almost definitely will.

Britsteiner at Instructables has another option for you: she uses ConTact paper as her medium, and found it was sticky enough to stay on the walls, but will easily come off when she leaves this apartment. Which is cool not just for getting your security deposit back, but so you can use it again at your next place.

The Instructable tells you how to test your wall to make sure the Con-Tact paper won’t stick too well; how to sketch your design; how to make a digital photo mock-up of the design; and all the other steps you need to translate it into Con-Tact paper wall art.

Hint: got no drawing talent at all whatsoever? Find a shape you like and Photoshop it into the photo of your room.
