Fadeless Bulletin Board Paper, Fade-Resistant Paper for Classroom Decor, 48” x 50’, Reclaimed Brick, 1 Roll

This banner is super cute for any type of water background you may need.

We purchased this for a Medieval Themed Halloween Party and it worked splendidly. We used it with grey plastic tablecloth to extend the effect as we were concerned that the wall would look to busy if we made the fake wall 8 feet tall. Also, that way we could save this more expensive paper for where it would really show (eye height) and use the grey table cloth behind furniture and such. Also the tablecloth served to protect our wall from damage.Here is what we did to get the most bang for our buck.-- Run the 4 ft x 100 ft tablecloth along the bottom of the wall from the baseboard to 4 feet off the ground. Attach to the wall with a line of blue painters tape along the top and sides (we let the bottom edge hang free)-- Cut a ~10 - 12 in strip of table cloth and run it along the wall at the normal ceiling height (dropping down from 8 feet off the ground) also using blue painters tape.-- Hang this product at eye level so it covers both the upper and lower strips of grey tablecloth (ours was about 8 inches from the ceiling at the top and then 4 feet down from that). Use the painters tape to baste it in place then use standard grey duct tape to tape the 'wall' paper to the table cloth.-- Use grey duct tape to cover the blue painters tape at the seams. Be careful not to get the duct tape on the paint of the walls.-- Use a few flat silver thumb tacks at the corners and along edges to further secure the blue tape/duct tape combo along the plastic table cloth edges as the painters tape is not quite strong enough to hold this all up on it's own over time (but it only takes a few-- one at each corner is sometimes all that is is needed. The thumb tacks blend in, but if you want to make it look like a deliberate texture then place them with regular spacing.This may seem overly complicated, but when it came time to take the decorations down after they had been up for more than 3 weeks, it only took a few minutes per wall. Clean up was fast and easy and this decoration is recyclable paper so it can go in the recycle bin rather than the trash. We could have salvaged some quite large pieces for craft projects or themed wrapping paper if needed.I was thrilled with how this turned out. As other reviewers have noted, when you first take it out of the box it looks like terrible camouflage, but once it is unrolled and up on a wall the trompe-l'œil effect is is amazing. It is not hyper realistic, but makes for a great effect. Also, it is matte paper and not shiny plastic. The stiffness of the paper made it much easier to cut and place than plastic and it didn't reflect light in a way that stone should not, as plastic is prone to do.Used for this project:1. This product 1 roll (we bought 2 and had one left over)2. One roll of 100 foot long x 4 ft wide grey plastic tablecloth (from a local party supply store). We put the shiny side against the wall.3. 3-4 rolls of 1.88 wide x 10 yards grey duct tape (original grey-- not one of the designer colors)4. 3-4 rolls of 1.88 wide or narrower blue painters tape5. A few grey/silver thumbtacks (the kind that are flush to the wall, as opposed to push-pins that stick out)

I’ve used this paper for 3 years and finally decided to replace it. I love using this product.

Heavy paper that was great for decorating

This looks so good in the classroom..will be perfect with string lights above the border for stars/ city-light effect. A plentiful amount of border at 50 feet and the perfect size for the bulletin board. Sturdy but not too heavy that it requires more than staples to suspend. We used push pins to initially put it on the bulletin board, then stapled in place.

My room was looking too sterile after I removed the faded paper on the wall and the soft goods / flexible seating options. So I felt that I needed to do something different and “cool” for my middle school students. I chose this.The paper is thicker than the stuff on the cart but it isn’t as thick as I thought it would be. It does tear but not super easily and it does wrinkle a bit. Good thing that the forgiving pattern helps hide wall and installation imperfections. The pattern is cute and really added warmth to a large chalky white wall. This wall is a work in progress but what you see is almost one complete 50’ roll of paper—I do have some left over enough to do one maybe two small bulletin boards. I stapled the paper to the wall and because of the pattern, you do not see the staples at all which is pretty awesome. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t fade.

While the design itself looks as pictured, the paper is very thin and tears/wrinkles easily when trying to hang on wall.

We have a large fish tank and I have trouble finding backgrounds large enough to cover the entire back. I am very happy with this product. It is colorful and easy to cut and tack on. I have no idea what I will do with the rest of the product, there's so much of it!

It’s paper, like wrapping paper quality. Easy to cut but if you’re looking for something durable, maybe not what you’re looking for. You do get a lot of it in the roll. The top and bottom of the roll is kind of red and so I ended up cutting off the ends and only using the middle portion, which was extra work. I don’t think the actual colour/design look exactly like the pic. My pic is after I cut off the ends.

Love this paper for my bulletin boards!

Wonderful paper! Bright and lifelike images.

I've bought this product in a different design from another store in the past; they didn't package it well at all, and it arrived damaged and unusable. This time I bought it from Amazon and I'm so glad that I did. The product was packaged very well, in two long cardboard boxes for excellent protection. (A bonus is that I have the perfectly sized boxes to store the remaining paper!)The product itself is perfect. I've used it three times -- the solid "azure" colour, "wispy clouds", and "weathered wood". All three look amazing in my classroom. The weathered wood design does not look cheap. The pattern (ex: knots in the wood) do not repeat very much, which helps it to look realistic.Unfortunately, my bulletin boards were higher vertically than this paper, so I had to line two pieces up as best as I could, and layer it. However, the purposeful imperfections in the wood design help to hide the fact that there are two pieces.I used the vertical lines in the "wood" and even the "nails" as guidelines to measure and cut the paper, and then a dollar-store hardware razor blade to trim the bit excess paper once it was stapled up.

The paper is just gorgeous. The roll covered a large bulletin board plus one regular and a small, with enough left to do it again next year I believe! One of my boards was taller than the roll but I just worked it like regular wallpaper. No problem. My class room looks gorgeous!
