Yesterday I showed you how to print on drop cloth fabric. Today I’m going to show you how I printed on bead board wallpaper.
The sticky label paper I used on the drop cloth is very sticky. I think it would be too sticky for the backing of the wallpaper.
This sticky label paper is “removable”. I applied it to the back of the bead board wallpaper. I then cut the paper to size. The wallpaper was a trade off. I traded this table for the wallpaper a couple of months ago.
I used a really pretty floral graphic from The Graphics Fairy.
I was asked about my printer, it is a photo smart from HP. I’m assuming that it is an inkjet printer.
This is another image I got at the Graphics Fairy.
The ink did take quite a while to completely dry on the wallpaper.
Did you notice how well the ridges of the wallpaper line up with the ridges on the wall? I simply attached the wallpaper to the wall with some double sticky tape.
I would say the possibilities may be endless as to what I can print on this wallpaper.
This is the image I showed you yesterday. I made it into a small pillow.
I love how it turned out!gail

Love how that printed out on the wallpaper. Now if I can just get up the nerve to run that fabric through my printer. Love that little pillow you made and YES... I love anything French. My new obsession Ć

Gail, Gail, Gail....I LOVE IT! I am amazed that wallpaper went through your printer so easily. I have some beadboard wallpaper, but it's the thick foam-like stuff...doubt it would go through. Yours is just thin regular wallpaper right? I missed how you printed on the drop cloth, I'll have to go check that out too! š
Have a blessed day lady!

This looks great! I love both the wallpaper and the fabric. I really want to try the fabric. Your pillow is just beautiful. I wonder if there is a way to set the ink so it can be washed.

Wow. I never think to put anything through my printer but regular old paper. What amazing ideas you have - the possibilities are endless! Thanks for sharing these awesome ideas. Your pictures and pillow are simply fabulous!

I love the beadboard wallpaper. That's what I need for the back of my hutch. Wonder if I can buy it locally or have to order it online. Your pillow is beautiful. That silhouete looks perfect above the doll.

I love the idea of printing on the beadboard wallpaper. The flowers look particularly beautiful. (funny that you traded a table for it) haha. Again, the full-size stickers. It sure seems to give these pieces enough body to get pulled through. Love the tips, Gail!
