 Topic: Wall Decals
Posted: 10 November 2009 at 3:43pm |
Anybody had any bad experiences as in these ripping of paintwork when they're supposed to be reusable stickers??
Also anybody know of a place where they are reasonably cheap.
And if you have any photo's you can post of your childrens rooms with them I'd love to see.
I don't know whether to get unisex stickers or girly stickers...advice??? THANKS!!!

We have ones from all4kids.co.nz called stickarounds, we have funky animal ones, they have been moved 3 times now and haven't left a mark ont he paintwork and we have heaters going in his room in winter etc. They have also been on a wall with lots of sunlight and that hasn't done anything to them. They are fantastic.

No issues here with paint peeling off and I've moved them twice now. I loved these one's because it has black & white pics which is great for newborns but won't look babyish when they're a little older (IMO).
Here is an old pic I found which has the farm animal one from Blik Graphics (I think it's called). I LOVE them, I also have the jungle one too.
A glimpse of the safari one in this pic:

I LOVE the tree. I've been browsing the snug as a bug website, glad to hear you've had no probs lilfatty as DH is rather protective of the walls he lovingly plastered, sanded, sealed and painted....
We might do a farm theme as we are surrounded by farmland.

I used snug as a bug also and have had no problems. I got the ship ones for DS room and unisex ones for bubs as didn't know the sex whne doing up the room.
Heres my two rooms - except have just realised you can't actually see the stickers that well
 so no point posting.

I got some from spot light and they are awesome no paint stripping kept peeling away the first week but i kept pushing them back on and havent had a problem since they were about $30 or $40 then i got some more of trademe which were well priced and they havent stripped any paint but they hardly stay on the walls some stuck ok but most are peeling away i even stuck bluetack behind some. This could be partially because i never washed the wall first but as it was not long painted and the others had stuck so well i didnt think i would need to. Also despite them being at ceiling height josh insists on climbing his unit and peeling the ones he can reach off so out of kiddie reach could be good if you have a problem child like me who insists on taking stickers off everything

We got our jungle themed ones from stickmeups.co.nz (via TM) I'm not sure about the tree, it was someone on TM.
 
I have moved the stickers with no issues.

Tastic, we are the same (renting) hence why I am asking the question because I don't want to rip paint lol. MIL is like I got them for my son and I've moved them heaps they're fine. But I wanted more than one person's opinion and that was like 11 years ago for her!! lol
I also was looking at the ones at the warehouse (the winnee the pooh ones, anyone used these)

I found the Winnie the Pooh ones started to lose their stick quite quickly, so when I was doing DD2's room I got some custom made vinyl decals from www.stickerage.com.au There is a link on their site to their Ebay store so you can see all the different designs, she is open to custom orders, and even with the exchange rate (Aussie based) it is pretty good value for money.

I heard the same thing about the Warehouse ones, although Sheza bought some for Bella's room, so maybe pm her and ask.
