This easy hack turns plain walls into statement pieces without nails or paint. Discover how to create elegant, temporary wall arch decor in just a few steps.
Here's how you created your wall arch using self-adhesive White Silicone Foamed Strip Square Rubber Sponge and peel and stick wallpaper :
-
Gather Materials:
- Self-adhesive White Silicone Foamed Strip Square Rubber Sponge
- Peel and stick wallpaper with your choice of patterns
- Scissors or a utility knife
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil
- Level (optional, for precise alignment)
-
Measure and Cut the Wallpaper:
- Measure the area on the wall where you want to apply the wallpaper.
- Cut the peel and stick wallpaper to fit the measured area. For this project, two different patterns were used – a black and white geometric maze pattern for the top section and a pink crane design for the bottom section.
-
Prepare the Wall:
- Clean the wall surface to ensure it is smooth and free of dust or debris. This helps the wallpaper adhere better.
-
Apply the Wallpaper:
- Peel the backing off the wallpaper and carefully apply it to the wall, starting from the top and smoothing it down to avoid air bubbles. Use a squeegee or a straight edge to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles.
- Align the second piece of wallpaper below the first one, ensuring that the edges meet neatly.
-
Frame the Wallpaper:
- Measure and cut the self-adhesive White Silicone Foamed Strip Square Rubber Sponge to create a frame around the wallpaper sections. Make sure the strips are cut precisely to fit around the edges of the wallpaper.
- Peel the backing off the self-adhesive rubber strips and press them firmly around the edges of the wallpaper, framing each section neatly.
- Ensure that the strips are aligned properly for a clean look.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Check that all edges are neatly aligned and that the frames are securely attached. Adjust if necessary.
- Step back and admire your DIY wall arch!
