We've papered our counter and the whole wall behind it...there are plans to paper the whole changing room too.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Having wall paper specially printed was always going to be a pricey option, so we came up with a cheeky plan to get the most out of a photo copier.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d2TJfFZTxks/TOK7JOv3uTI/AAAAAAAAAAg/PIZG9_xO268/s1600/robotwallpaper%25232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d2TJfFZTxks/TOK7JOv3uTI/AAAAAAAAAAg/PIZG9_xO268/s400/robotwallpaper%25232.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It's a hand drawn repeat pattern, using a method very similar to the one described in this handy tutorial from a while ago over at <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2008/05/welcome-julia-and-how-to-make-a-repeat-pattern.html">Design Sponge</a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I then coloured in with&nbsp;a selection of my favourite blending <a href="http://www.letraset.com/manga/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=2847&amp;cat=ProMarkers">Promarker</a> design pens from Letraset</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d2TJfFZTxks/TOK9u3pGLCI/AAAAAAAAAAk/eZSLSGaseSE/s1600/PMFGREY-Pr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d2TJfFZTxks/TOK9u3pGLCI/AAAAAAAAAAk/eZSLSGaseSE/s320/PMFGREY-Pr.jpg" width="313" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Blown up onto A3 paper, you really get the most out of a black and white photocopy. We then just used regular wall paper paste to hang it up. I'll post pictures as soon as the shop decorating is finished</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Vic @ Robot Shop x</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2244670520684587028-620605710781717055?l=robot-shop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Robot Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15363557269303398257noreply@blogger.com0
