Safely take a wall decal off to be moved to another room?
Hi all!
i have this cool wall decal that I love. Got it from Joann’s years ago for my craft room. We’re expecting our second child so we’re moving my craft stuff to another area in our house to leave my current space for baby’s nursery. I was wondering if there was a way to safely remove a wall decal to transfer to another room? I’m not sure I’d be able to find another one like this one. Pic of decal for reference.
Thanks!

Most wall decals are not reusable, but you could try heating each piece with a blow dryer to soften the adhesive and gently lift it from the wall making sure most of the adhesive stays on the decal.
Hi Lisa, I would try a blow dryer and move on to, perhaps, a heat gun or even an iron. Heat will get that glue to maybe give for you. Moving them to another room you will have to add a different kind of glue to them.
I have had mixed results removing wall decals. The one method that usually works for me is to give a burst of heat at one side with my hair dryer, and work that side loose. Have waxed paper or a piece of vinyl to stick it to as you remove it so it doesn't get damaged. Take your time removing it. Good luck and stay safe!
yeah I would use a blow dryer to warm up the decal and soften the glue. Gently peel it off.
Hi Lisa congratulations on your new baby coming. Hope this helps you move your decal. Search Results

First you need to aim the blow dryer at the one corner of the mural. Now once it gets warm (you need to touch it), use your fingernails to pull it out of the wall slowly. Keep in mind, slow and steady wins the race!Feb 26, 2018

If this room will be a nursery, you could always leave the sign up that says 'Create a life that you love'
Thank you everyone! If anything I at least want to get it off without damaging the wall!
Heat it a bit with a hair dryer and peel it off. The heat should help it come up easily
Hello,
Were they supposed to be re-usable? If so they should peel . If they were self adhesive backed then it probably wouldn't peel off. Maybe a warm Iron over brow paper might melt the glue enough for you to remove. Good luck!
Lisa: I would try the hair dryer trick! Good luck!
I have decals and they are removable. You just have to be VERY careful and not stretch or tear them.
How were these originally applied?
You could try heating it to remove. Then add new adhesive when you move it.
I've removed them with a hairdryer, but it places they did tear some of the paint off the wall. Also, I never tried to restick them. Not sure they're made for that. Best of luck!
If you want to save it cover with 2 or 3 inch wide tape trace each letter with the tape then peel off the decal and then tape to the wall I don’t think you will be able to get that off any other way
You might be able to peel it off and reattach with double stick tape
if they were re-usable then just heat up gently and all will pop
You might see if you can figure out who the manufacturer was and ask them. It's probably unlikely that you can remove and re-stick them.
