These designs were all generated from a computer, which allows you to make them any style or size desired.
Materials:

software and printer with continuous banner printing capability
banner paper
art fixative
spray adhesive
self-adhesive paper
scissors
paper cutter

Steps:

  1. Choose design and colors desired. Print on banner paper and spray with art fixative as the ink is water-soluble.
  2. Spray top of self-adhesive paper with adhesive. Place the border on top and smooth. Spray with another coat of art fixative (several more if it's to be in a bathroom or kitchen).
  3. Once dry, trim the design. Peel off the back and stick in place.
  4. If your computer doesn't support continuous banner printing, print the design segments in the length possible. Trim the edges of each section with a paper cutter and line them up on the self-adhesive paper as above.
