Removing Stickers From Walls

Decorating your walls with stickers can be a fun temporary way to update a room. I did this with my daughter's room because I knew she wouldn't have the same interests from year to year. I found these tips helpful for removing the stickers without damaging the paint on the drywall.

This is a great video about the process:


Unlike the video above, I had dinosaur wall stickers from the Dollar Tree. My daughter picked them out and loved them for a few months. I myself was happy to see them go.

First pick off what you can gently with your hands. If the sticker rips or part of the backing stays on move to the next tips so that you don't damage the wall.
A hair dryer can soften the glue of the ones where the backing sticks or the sticker rips.

Before:
I was going to have an after but trust me when I say it was just a crappy photo of an empty wall and I lost that photo.

Drunk proof it: Use goo gone if you have any left over remnants.

Engraving Rocks

My bestie engraves rocks. They come out looking super awesome. I wanted to share her awesome talent. Hopefully this inspires you to possibly make your own.
All you need is a dremel tool and some artistic ability. She sketches out the design on the rocks first then goes over it with a the tool.
