Make my own wall-safe stickers for my babydoll’s nursery?
I want to decorate my baby-to-come's room with my own cut outs and paintings but I dont wanna spoil the walls in my rented home.
Is there a glue that is wall-safe so I can make those wall-friendly type reusuable stickers for my little one?
I dont wanna buy them..they are too expensive!
I took Microsoft Clip Art and printed in on a color printer and then cutout the images. It was neat! Post-It makes a Non-permanent Glue Stick that makes things kind of like Post-It notes. I am not sure how well that would stick long term, but you could get it at an office supply store. You could also get removable poster tape (http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/office/mounting/node_GSM3MG1VQ9gs/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_GSRCJ327Z3ge/bgel_GS9YTZGKKQbl/gvel_GS262SSBYCgl/theme_us_mounting_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html).
You could probably just use old fashioned Elmer's Glue and then just wash down the walls with warm water before you moved. I would do a test one in a location behind a door or something first though!
My final suggestion would be to just go ahead and paint on the walls. You will have to repaint in white, but most landlords are okay with that!

All removable adhesives have their drawbacks.
Your best bet is to get a Xyron sticker maker- it turns any cutouts into stickers, either permanent or removable. The drawback is the price- yhou’re gonna be spending some money on it.
You can try removable tape or glue sticks, but the drawback is that they fall off over time.
You can laminate your cutouts and stick them up with Velcro; drawback- you’ll probably get that sticky foam stuff leaving marks on your walls.
Hope some of these help.
