Designing skull and crossbones wallpaper is easy enough for kids to participate.
Designing wallpaper can seem intimidating, but it is a surprisingly strait forward project. A number of companies are available online that offer personally designed wallpaper. However, if you want to use some previously purchased or old wallpaper, there are even simpler solutions.
Instructions
Using Old Wallpaper
1. Cut out or have made a stencil or stamp of a skull and crossbones. Consider making different sizes.
2. Measure your wall or old paper with a ruler or tape measure and mark it at even intervals with chalk or a pencil so you know where to put your skulls.
3. Using your marks as guides, spray paint over your stencils or dip stamps in paint and press against the paper to make your fun skull pattern.
Create your Completely Original Design
4. Create or find a digital image (or many digital images) of a skull you like. If copyrighted, get permission to use the skull image.
5. Decide which type of wallpaper you want: full wall or a border. If you want to use a full wall of a single color with a single skull design, you will need only the skull graphic. For more complex patterns, you will need to create a symmetrical digital image that can be repeated.
6. Construct the symmetrical image. To do this you will need a make a perfect square with evenly distributed shapes. For example, you might try putting a large skull in the center with a tiny bone or bouquet of flowers on all four sides and have a ribbon making a diamond shape between all of these. Or, you can do simple stripes of horizontal or vertical skulls and crossbones.
7. Use a website that allows you to create personalized wallpaper such as Great Wall Online or Totally Custom Wallpaper. Upload the full image you made or just your skull image. Let the website walk you through the sizing to make your completely original wallpaper.
