Removing wallpaper from a dollhouse room with only water
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
I hadn't been working on my dollhouse for a while, and I had thought about removing the wallpaper, but I had read too many articles that said you had to do it this way or that way, and it made it sound more difficult that it seemed like it should be. I decided to just try using some water to see if that would work, and this is what happened. No need for any complicated anything, this was all it...

Gold Leaf on a Dollhouse Wall: How to Make It Shine Like Gold
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I'm wallpapering the dollhouse with the sheet of gold leaf that was on the back of the poster I got during my dollhouse wallpapering haul. I used the removable walls and this one was a lot easier than the gift wrap walls because I could work flat to attach it.

    Rubber cement is the ULTIMATE tool if you want to be able to remove the wallpaper. Do a thin coat on the surface you want to apply it to and let it dry completely. Then do the same with the back of your wallpaper. You can now stick the wallpaper on with a good strong hold and remove it later without the fuss. You’re welcome.

    I plan on doing this for my floors as well so that everything can be removed (especially to access wiring). You mentioned adding moulding; how do you plan on affixing that to the wall so that you can still change it out if/when you need to? That's what I'm trying to decide before moving forward with my project.

    • @decoratesmall
      @decoratesmall 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was just going to glue it in place, then rip it out if I needed to. But if you had some kind of flooring that was thick enough, like thin mat board, you could put the molding in slightly above the floor level and slide the floor under it so that the molding would form a little groove that the floor could slide into, if that makes sense. I don't know if that would work long-term but it's worth a try.

    I take a piece of printing paper and push it on a wall and make good creases along the top and sides, etc. Then I cut on my paper cutter ( the one with an arm ). Then I have an exact size to use for whatever I am applying to the wall. I always use diluted white glue for wallpaper paste, it slides a bit for adjustment. And sometimes I use a glue stick.

    • @decoratesmall

      @@decoratesmall I don't dilute it much, ( I mix in a small bowI ) paint it on the paper with a sponge brush, then apply to the wall. I use a rag to push it to the wall and get the bubbles out. I have used dollhouse wallpaper, wrapping paper and even fabric, but most are thicker. On occasion I have bubbles, but they shrink as it dries. I have used this application to wooden, cardboard and plastic walls and it has worked okay for me.
