Need some redecorating advice!!

My DD decided that she wanted her room redone, so, I went to walmart, got the paint and am going to start on the project this week. She wants the theme to be WOLVES!!!! Ok, here is my question. I am into the CUSTOMIZATION of things so to speak. I don't want just WALLPAPER or borders, what I am looking for are clingy or vinyl decals for on the wall that almost looks PAINTED on, anyone know where I can get something like this?

I'm not sure where you can get them, but if you can color, you can print pictures of wolves on transparent paper and project them onto the wall, trace them and paint them. It's really not as hard as it sounds to make it look great. I did that in DS's room with Elmo designs. Sadly, now it is just painted taupe because he went and got older on us.

Beware for stupid question

Without an actual projector, how do you project the image onto the wall?

 

[RUDisney]

Whoops! Sorry.

When I did my DS's room, I borrowed the overhead projector from work. If I didn't have that as an option, the kids have some drawing projectors that I would have rigged to work.

 

[gr8tpanther]

LOL, can I borrow your work's projector?

Check THIS out! WOLVES!

Cool, I bookmarked that. Have to paint first, then get color scheme. I forget what color she picked, some lighter colored blue.

I'd go with what Dorothy suggested... definitely worth the $10 to not have to hand paint them!

I did my DD's room in a "flowers and fairies" theme... before she came home so I got to pick. I used a stencil to make some butterflies, hummingbirds and dragonflies on paper. I then made color copies of that page, trimmed the copies and applied them to the walls with wallpaper adhesive. 3 years later and they still look good. I bet you could do something similar with photos or drawings of wolves you find in books, magazines, the internet, etc.

Well, seeings how an Overhead is a couple hundred bucks I suppose it is going to have to be decals/stickers, lol, my landlord should just LOVE me sticking things on the walls

You can rent overhead projectors at some rental places.
