butlerestates Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Do you use a sealer over these like Mod Podge or do you just glue them up after you print them off. Also what is the best paper type to use. I do have some of the canvas type paper but If I wanted to use something else what weight do you use? Card stock in between?? Just curious because I have not ever used printable wallpaper before but I for sure am using some of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I've used an acrylic aerosol artist's sealer for the stained glass printies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantail Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm actually pretty good w/ photoshop and/or adobe illustrator. I think after Christmas I may try and layer a whole bunch on a page...like the tile thingee. I simply must be able to stare at them. Would be quite a chore, but so worth it. It is such an amazing collection. Again..thank you Debra. Ooh, editing now ...son will be home for Christmas.......surely he knows an easy way, i'll find out!

debra Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Annie, If you want to you can right click and save them all, would take you a while, but it can be done, save into a file, then print out the thumbnails, and stare at them lol. And as for printing, I use real life wallpapers, cut into A4 size before putting into the printer, I have a sample book here with nearly white papers in it, they print out jsut gorgeous, and some have an embossed pattern on them as well, and being wallpaper the back is ready for taking the glue, I usually dont use any sealer. I have also used that canvas paper it is good, I dont use any cardstock under it, just glue straight onto the wall. I have also used plain printing paper, it has been on the walls of my willow now for about 3 years and shows no sign of aging or coming off. Cheers Debra.
