Wall Art
A few minutes ago I decided I was gonna decoupage my room. This wallpaper is hideous and it's been here since way before I lived here. It'd be too costly to take it down, and even more to put more back up, so I decided decoupage was a good idea!
For those of you who don't know what decoupage is, it's the funnest thing ever. It's kinda like papier mache on a flat surface, except with colorful pieces of paper in overlapping layers, lol. Or something.
But before I do that, I have a lot of things to figure out.
What should I use? Comic paper? Colored paper? Magazine clippings? Or a combination of all three?
How colorful do I want it to be? Do I want the whole room one color, or do I want each wall one main color (like, all blue shades on one wall, all red/pink on another...)? Also, which colors should I use, if each wall is a different color?
Should I arrange it into a gradient effect, like dark blue at the top fading to light blue? Or could I do it rainbow colored, with each color fading into the next all around the room?
Should the paper be in random rippy bits (like when you use tissue paper) or should they all be in shapes, like hearts/stars/circles?
Would it be too much to do the ceiling? (On second thought, let's leave the ceiling for last, just in case I don't wanna go that far).
I think I'll stop by the craft store to ask them which type of glue would be sturdy enough to stick on wallpaper.
Just two seconds ago I decided against decoupaging any of my k-pop posters to my wall. I like to rearrange those anyway, and decoupage would make it permanent. Nothnx.
Hmm, I think I'm gonna go to Gimp and see if I can work this out...
