mural painting kits
I have no artistic ability. Is it really true that these kits are easy?
WallNutz mural kits are designed so that anyone can use them, even if you don't have an ounce of creativity. All you have to be able to do is hang the pattern and transfer paper, trace over the design and follow the numbers and stay in the lines to paint in the correct color.
What if the mural size doesn't fit my walls?
It is really simple to change the size of WallNutz murals. To make them fit a larger area, simply re-position a piece of the transfer paper and pattern so that it meshes well with the original pattern and retrace. To make the pattern fit a smaller area, simply omit tracing a portion of the design. You can also place the pattern on two walls of a room by simply wrapping the pattern into the corner of two walls (we love this look!) Another idea is to cut out pieces of the pattern and place them in different areas of the room.
Can I use the pattern more than once?
The mural kits can generally be retraced two to three times, sometimes more if the wall surface is flat. The less wear on the papers, the longer they will last.
How long will it take me to complete the project?
This depends on the complexity of the design, how quickly you paint and how many interruptions you have. Most of the full wall murals can be easily finished in a weekend, if the room is already prepped and the background color is completely dry.
How much will this project cost in total?
We estimate that everything you need to complete an entire wall mural is less than $60. Broken down, this estimate covers the kit cost ($39.99), paints ($15.00) and brushes ($5.00).
Where can I find the right type of paints?
All craft stores carry acrylic craft paints that are typically used for the murals. Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Ben Franklin are some craft stores that are probably in your area. Walmart also carries a selection of these paints. We recommend using a semi-gloss paint for the background, and this paint can be found at paint and wallpaper or home improvement stores. See note below regarding Behr brand paint.
Do the kits work with any type of base paint as the background?
PLEASE NOTE: We do not recommend using Behr brand paint for your background, usually sold at Home Depot. In some instances, the transfer paper will leave a very faint or no line when used with this brand.
We recommend using an eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss indoor latex paint for the background.
The transferred line is a dark blue. Patterns work best on a lighter colored background for viewing of the transferred pattern and will not show up as well on dark blue, green or black backgrounds. You can first transfer the image on to a light wall color, then paint in a darker background around the outline if you wish.
Should I protect the mural with some type of sealant once it's painted?
It depends on the use of the room. We recommend that you use a clear sealant available at most craft stores to protect murals in children's playrooms where it is likely that little hands will leave prints all over your work of art.
wall stickers/decals/appliqués murals
Are they repositionable?
Yes, for decorating purposes. The wall stickers and murals can be repositioned around 2-4 times depending on the product.
Will the wall stickers/decals stick to any wall in my house?
They adheres to any clean, smooth surface without pretreatment. With wallpaper, textured and finished wood surfaces, we recommend testing a sample first.
NOTE: All of our wall appliqués/wall stickers/wall decals are recommended for smooth surfaces. We live in the Northwest where walls are textured and we have had great success with the application all our products, although we can only guarantee on smooth walls.
NOTE: Make sure freshly painted walls are fully cured before applying wall appliqués/wall stickers/wall decals. This typically takes 1-3 weeks, although in some room environments it could be a several weeks for every layer to be cured.
How can I store the wall stickers when moving them?
We recommend keeping the original backing. If you no longer have the original backing, try using parchment paper for storing or transferring.
Can I clean wall stickers and decals?
Yes, all of our products are durable and can be cleaned with a clean damp cloth.
wallpaper murals
Are the wallpaper murals repositionable?
Wallpaper murals can be a great décor alternative with so many styles and images available. Because they are applied with a paste they are a more permanent design, measure carefully and make sure it is a style that you will love to live with for a while.
Are they difficult to apply them?
Our medium size Wallies wallpaper murals are very simple to apply since they are pre-pasted and can be applied by one person.
For the large full wall wallpaper murals that are not pre-pasted we recommend using a strong strippable adhesive that dries clear such as Romans 880, Sure Grip Plus or equivalents.
