Why don't you test some newspaper that you know you're not going to use on the wall: On some wax paper spread the Mod Podge on the newsprint and see if that alone causes it to bleed or run--then you will know if you can or cannot use it. If not, you could copy the newsprint onto copy paper on your printer and try that, although some ink jet ink will run. Laser ink is used when that is a problem, and you could have your stuff printed at your local office supply store. I suggest you test each material with the Mod Podge. Once you find materials that will work, then try the polyurethane over that. Make sure you request or find a non-yellowing finish. It's my little bit of knowledge, hope it helps.
go online and check out paper bag floors will work on walls.
Good idea. Better practice first, back of door in laundry room. If you wriggle paper a bit = texture can push flat with ruler or spatula
mod podge, as well as a white glue/water mixture will dry clear. Just try to apply it evenly so there are no clumps that will take longer to dry completely
I did a roll top desk with it. Came out great
A friend pasted torn pieces of classical sheet music on her wall. It looks great.
lAlso make sure you use a Water Base Polyeurathane because the Oil base kind will yellows rite away... I learNed that the hard way on my kitchen countertops...
Please post photos when you get it done I have always wondered what it would look like to do newspaper on the walls... Good Luck š
My brothers owned a store and they used this idea to cover the bathroom walls. They thought it took forever to cover. They wished they had used large pieces of the newspaper to cover the walls and used the individual articles as accents On top of newspapers. It looked very cool. Have fun!
