Shellacing Baseball Cards to a Wall? Hello: We are redecorating my son's room surrounded by a sports theme....
Hello:
We are redecorating my son's room surrounded by a sports theme. We be visiting New York and saw a wall that have wine labels shellaced onto a wall. There be enough wine label to cover the entire wall so it acted as a custom wallpaper. I am looking to try to shellac or otherwise attach a collage of baseball cards directly to a small wall. My husband thinks we should only just use a picture frame, but that is not alike effect as what I would like to get done. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Answers: Wine label are about as scrubby as a piece of copy paper. Baseball cards are relatively thick. Shellacing them to a wall might look great for a while, but be a physical night mare to give somebody a lift off. Consider putting facing paper--found in wallpaper books/stores up first, next put color copies of the
baseball cards on the wallpaper. Or even just putting
copies of the baseball cards up on the wall. Instead of shellac, would you consider a marine based decoupage surrounding substance? Perhaps you could make "frames" out of molding--or even paint them on--and riddle the centers with bulletin board cork, or a textured wallpaper and shellac the cards to that?
We've made a decorate decisions over the years that
be difficult to reverse. Now we think roughly speaking how to un-do something before we proceed. I believe the idea is fabulous, by the instrument!
I think the picture frame is a much better thought. When those cards really appreciate in pro, you'll have a complicated time selling them if they're shellac-ed to the wall! Also, if you move, your son wouldn't have them anymore..
