Whats the best way to cover a wall in menus?

Question

I have collected 200 menus and want to make them my wallpaper. My walls are made of plaster, whats the easiest way to hang then or post them?

Answer 1

You could adhere them one of three ways, Super77 Spray adhesive, decoupage medium or a clay based wallpaer paste. I did the same thing with French wine labels and found the spray adhesive to be the easiest way, but often didn't get it all the way to the edge of the label and had to inject additional glue around the outside to stop the paper from curling. But, menus are heavier than the paper used for the labels and they will probably hold better. Just make certain you put the menus on a piece of plastic and spray all of the way to the edges. Super77 is archival, so it won't yellow over time. The problem with the decoupage method is that you are working on a vertical surface and will need to use enough not only to hold the paper, but also to smooth it down so you don't have bubbles. Sounds like a fun project.

Answer 2

I suggest you clean your walls well, then let dry. The use a decopodge type glue bought from a craft store. I think that glue will keep them there and make them last and not turn brown over time.

Answer 3

Well, treat it like wallpaper. Get wallpaper paste. I know starch works for fabric, and that's not permenent. It depends on if you're renting otrif you like change the look a lot or if you're in it for the long hall.

Answer 4

That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
