glueing fabric to my walls (and a book wreath)

I saw a book wreath by Living with Lindsay a while back and thought it was pretty dang cute.  So I made one.  And then I hung it up on the sad, white walls of my apartment and was a little disappointed: 

That's a lot of white on white - we're not allowed to paint.  Sometimes apartment dwelling sucks.  When I finally own a house, the walls are going to have color!

I didn't want my pretty wreath to go to waste though, so I tried something a little daring and pasted fabric to my wall! (click on the link for instructions and the cornstarch paste recipe).  Ok, so it isn't really daring.  It is actually very apartment-friendly, because the fabric will just peel off when it is time to come down (I can even wash the fabric and re-use it!).  A little color goes a long way, don't you think?


It was so much fun I have been looking for other places to paste fabric.  Like this little peekaboo of color I added to the peephole on our front door:  


I still have about a quart of cornstarch paste left over.  This could get dangerous.
