Question

Hi Guys!
We are expecting our first child and have decided to keep the gender a surprise! This poses a problem in decorating the nursery. Whenever we look for inspiration, we only find pink and blue. Can you help us create a gender-neutral nursery that has some personality?

Thanks!
Megan and Ryan

DIY: Fabric Wall Tattoos

SUPPLIES:

• Fabric & stencils
• 4 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 4 cups boiling water
• Bowl & scissors
  

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut out shapes using the provided templates.
2. Prepare starch solution - mix together 4 tbsp cornstarch into 1/2 cup cold water. Then pour in 4 cups of boiling water and mix it up.
3. Paint the starch onto the back of the fabric, soaking the pieces thoroughly - some of this solution may drip onto the floor while you're working, so be sure to put down a drop cloth to protect your carpet.
4. Apply fabric pieces to wall.
5. Paint on some more of the solution and smooth out any bubbles with your fingers.
When you're ready to remove your wall tattoo, you can just peel it off and clean up the residue with a damp cloth.
