So, what are WALLIES?
WALLIES are pre-pasted, vinyl-coated wallpaper cutouts. Each pack of WALLIES contains 25 cutouts. Just wet the back on a moist sponge and put them up. The WALLIES company also produces Wallies murals. Murals consist of one or more pieces, with variations in the sizes.

Do I have to cut them out myself?
No. WALLIES come already die-cut in each unique shape.

Do I need to use wallpaper paste to put them up?
No. WALLIES are pre-pasted. You just wet the back of the Wallies with a wet sponge for a few seconds and then stick them to the wall. It is so easy. Murals must be wet, either by running them under the faucet or dipping in water.

Can I get them off once I stick them up?
Yes. WALLIES are made to be durable and to stay put once they are up, but when you are ready to take them off they can be stripped off by wetting them again.

Can I hang them in a moist bathroom?
Yes. WALLIES are vinyl-coated so they can be washed and they can withstand the moisture in a bathroom. Just don’t put them right in the shower. Direct water flow will cause them to strip off.

Where can I put WALLIES?
WALLIES are perfect for walls, of course. But they also work great on furniture, clay or ceramic pots, picture frames, craft items, floor and table runners, wooden hope chests, lampshades, gift wrapping, invitations, bulletin boards, ceramic tile....the list is nearly endless. The only place you can’t stick WALLIES is on slick plastic surfaces. WALLIES on ceramic tile should be located away from high moisture areas, such as backsplashes on sinks.

Will WALLIES hurt the surface underneath when I take them off?
No. WALLIES are made to strip off without damage to the surface.

Can I put them on existing wallpaper?
Yes.

Are WALLIES safe for scrap booking?
Scrap bookers love WALLIES. Unfortunately the cutouts are not 100% acid-free. However many people have gotten around this problem by spraying the WALLIES with products like Archival Mist® or by placing archival quality papers between the WALLIES and their treasured photos. We suggest you do what feels right to you. Their acidity is only slight.

Are WALLIES easy enough for my kids to decorate their own rooms?
You bet.

Can I use WALLIES for decoupage?
Absolutely! Just wet the back and stick them on and seal them like you would any decoupage cutout. See our projects page for some great ideas.

Can I put WALLIES on furniture that goes outside?
We do not recommend it unless you polyurethane over the WALLIES to seal them. Extremes in temperature and humidity are not good for WALLIES.

How many WALLIES does it take to decorate a room?
Well, it's hard to say. Obviously it depends on the size of your room. Each WALLIES package contains 25 cutouts. Some are larger than others: for instance the Noah’s Ark is 6 1/2 inches wide while the Purple Pansy is just 2 inches wide. As a general rule you can usually do a thorough job with one pack for a small room, like a bathroom, and 3 packs for a normal bedroom. We suggest you use your best judgment.
