DP and I want to have a Winnie the pooh theme of our baby girls nursery. I am looking at wall stickers but i want to know what experiences people have had with them, i have a list of questions:
Are they any good?
Is there somewhere i should look at getting them, like places i should avoid?
Are they hard to put up?
Do they fall off, like when it gets really hot do they tend to fall off?
Sorry if my questions seem daft i have never thought about having them and i don't know anyone with them.
I just bought some ones for my DD#3 bedroom (we've just built another room, so all kids have shifted into their own room)....i only paid $12 for about 8 stickers from a dollar shop. They seemed good quality though..... and they were so cute. But they all fell off the wall within an hour or so of me putting them up. They looked stupid with blu tac underneath them...the girls played with them for a bit, stuck them on each other, stuck them on the floor, then i chucked them. Moral of my story, you get what you pay for. Maybe go to a proper baby shop, see the nursery deco section, and ask questions.....
I got some quite expensive ones from a baby shop for DD2 (Disney princess) and DS (Winnie the pooh) they were $25 a packet from memory (3 yrs ago) but they were great. They survived 2 moves and peeled off when we moved with no drama or mess then restuck beautifully.
If you pay a little extra it's worth it. I got mine from a stall for $29 and they are absolutely beautiful. You can peel them off if you put them on wrong and they go straight back on. Just make sure that the wall is clean and dry before you put them on...no dust, as it will quickly cause them to lose stickiness. Mine have never fallen off or peeled at the edges. It's worth the little bit extra. They look gorgeous. I know you can get them off ebay.....maybe google them too? HTH
Definiately don't buy cheap ones! I got some from a warehouse type place and yep.. fell off and took the paint with it . I'm actually looking on some on ebay now to make into pictures on canvas for DS's walls. There is some fantastic ones on there.
I should also add I then brough some more expensive ones (about $30 i think) and they were fantastic. I put them on the roof above DS's change table - so a difficult place to reach but so easy to put up iykwim - and they've been up there for 2 years now. His room can get quite hot but they haven't peeled or anything.

If renting, don't get the borders, as they stick and peel paint, but the characters I have go on and off like Blu Tac. Most are still on the wall, except for the ones that DD peeled off above the change table,and when she stands on the bed..
I got mine from eBay. They stuck quite well. Just make sure the wall is clean and dry before you stick them. Then wipe over them with a damp cloth. Also don't stick them on a hot day.
Actually i have to admit when i had the issue with curling it was a hot day I was just so eager to get them up so he could have his big boy room i didn't want to wait
Hi - just wanted to say that we went and bought some of these yesterday, just from a stall at the centre of the shopping centre. They went up really easily and when I put them in the wrong spot, it was just a matter of picking at the end of the sticker and they came right off and restuck perfectly. I am so happy with them!
