I just found this by accident - and it FINALLY solves a major home decor dilemma I’ve had for over a year!! Thank you so much!

We did this to our dorm rooms in college back in the day!!! I love that it’s been making a comeback!!!

This is PERFECT for what I needed for just a small tapestry on my son's wall, tysmmmm!!

Another thing this works very well on is windows. Very easy to take down, even years later. You wash the window and would never know it had been there. I didn't use a roller. I just soaked the fabric in the liquid starch, and hung it up wet. Made smoothing it out very simple. Make sure you have a fabric that will not shrink, or prewash it.

Oh my gosh I’m so doing this in my daughters room ! I’ve been looking at floral wallpaper and they’re all 400$+ !

This is just the information I was looking for! Clear, easy to follow and with information on how to remove it when you move or want a change. Thank you so much!

I used to do this many many years ago...
... but I never thought of using a roller...
Great idea!
Thank you for sharing this great video.

I just bought clearance fabric from Ballard, $12.99 yard marked down from $129.00 yard, awesome deal and a beautiful neutral modern design. Only needed one yard for doing wall above my secretary. It’s upholstery fabric and I love the frayed edges on all cut sides, gives it more texture. So I’m using no sew tape along underside edges just where fraying stops to make sure it stays stopped, lol. And then I’m using coordinating nailhead trim or maybe making faux hammered thin iron strips, still playing with what I want to use.
But if I was doing an entire wall I would definitely use your method, mine is more of an accent area or used to define secretary desk area. Was thinking of lining with 1/2 cork & 1/2 sheet metal for cork board and magnets but have decided on farmhouse floating shelves so hanging notes all over it will just make it look cluttered and take away from the beauty of the fabric.

Okay, can I just give you guys immense props for actually having plain fabric?! I don't know what's going on with other online fabric sellers, but it's been like pulling teeth to find just a catalogue of unpatterned gray fabric! I'm going for an industrial vibe for my apartment and cannot paint nor use wallpaper due to the living room's flat paint likely being ruined with the wallpaper glue (even peel and stick cannot be used on flat paint, but fabric wallpaper with starch seems like it will work!) You guys actually look like you might have what I need! Sadly, I'm in the midst of a job hunt but have been compiling a list of what I want for my place once the money starts rolling in again, lol. And your fabric is now st the top of my list! Thank you!

Fascinating. I've never seen this done before

[Colorsalabama]

This is so pretty! I wish they would bring back wallpaper!!! I can’t find it anywhere except online and it is way too much!!!

[lynnmahar]

I love this tip. I tack fabric to walls of my rentals but this is so much better!!!!

[davidefois]

This is a fantastic tutorial and idea! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[joyfour]

What a great idea! I’ve been wanting to add color to my walls and not just paint. My husband is against wallpaper, but I think you’ll be OK with something that’s not so permanent.

How long does this last? Would you recommend for long term application

[patpaine]

Will this wrk in a bathroom? A little worried the humidity might loosen starch

[lupitalamb]

Will this also work with plastic ? Will a shower curtain stick too?

[BinxieRse]

Could I use this method on a painted wood dresser without the paint peeling??

[kimhunter]

Question, can this be done on wood? I'm lining draws and inside a built-in buffet.
