Hi everyone! Before I get into this Aluminum Tape Feature Wall project, can I just say how excited I am at how well (I think) this came out? I love wallpaper. If I had my way, every room in the house would have it in some form, shape or way. The thing I don’t like about it though, is the permanency of it and moreover the price! Yes, I know there are temporary wall papers, but as you know, I’m all about designing on a dime! This was definitely a cheaper alternative. This project took me a few hours to do, but in my opinion, it was so worth the time and work!! Here’s how I did this:

Materials

Ruler (or straight edge, I used an envelope!)

Aluminum tape – 1/4″ x 72 yards – $8.24 (Amazon.com)

Leveler

Scissors

Pencil

Eraser or Wet paper towel (to correct any mistakes)

Directions

1. Begin by lightly outlining your pattern on the wall with the pencil:

-Use the leveler to ensure that your lines are straight.

-If you’re not using a ruler, be sure to mark or note the length on your straight edge so your line lengths are uniform.

-Use the wet paper towel or an eraser to correct any mistakes

2. Once you’ve outlined your pattern, you can then retrace your lines with the aluminum tape.

.

And that’s it! So, what do you think? Would you try this aluminum foil tape project? If so, what pattern would you use? Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts!
