How to Decorate Your Wall With Sticky Notes

Choosing a Design

• The best way to start when decorating your wall with sticky notes is to think of a design. Design possibilities are endless, from a colorful random, mosaic tile pattern to creating any image of your choice, like a cityscape or a flower . Apply sticky notes in different directions to create swirls or geometric patterns, like diamonds or arrows. The design can be as simple or intricate as you want it to be.

Choosing Colors

• One way to choose colors for your design is to create a color scheme. A color scheme is a combination of colors that work well together. One of the schemes that you can use is a monochromatic one, wherein all the colors of sticky notes are from the same color family. For example, you can use blue or light blue together or pink and fuschia. Another color scheme is the use of the triadic color scheme, or colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, like orange purple and green. Likewise, you can choose to use one color throughout, much like painting a wall.

Applying Your Design

• Before you start applying your sticky notes on your wall you should draw your design on the wall. This gives you an idea of where your sticky notes should go. This is especially important if your design is an image or a geometric pattern. If, however, you choose to randomly stick the notes on your wall, there's no need to start with creating a drawing on your wall. Simply stick the notes until the entire wall is covered.

Sticking the Sticky Notes

• Make sure that the wall that you apply the sticky notes to is clean and free of debris by wiping it down with a clean, damp cloth. Apply the sticky notes one by one once the wall is completely dry. Although sticky notes are self-adhesive, the stickiness doesn't last too long. If you want to keep your design in place for a long time, simply apply glue on the sticky notes using a hot glue gun.
