Terry has given this great tip on wallpapering your dolls house but also needs your advice. Can you help?...

An idea came to me that has probably come to many other dollhouse builders:  save money by using high quality scrapbook paper in place of expensive dollhouse wallpaper.....  Soooo, I went to my local hobby store, the one that DOES NOT carry dollhouse supplies :(, and scoured the scrapbook paper section for some possible contenders for wallpaper.  I scored three prints and one solid!  Then, I added to that idea when I bought a box of photo mounting squares (for non-scrappers, these are double-sided adhesive squares that are really, really sticky).  I started working on the gable, so I traced out a pattern for my solid paper using computer paper, cut out the 'good' paper, and mounted it with the squares.  It looks good!!!  Hooray, no messy glue.  I was also reluctant to use paste because some of the scrapbook paper is a little thinner than wallpaper, so I was worried about bleed-thru, seeing electrical components underneath, plus these seem easier to use.  The inner gable looks nice, but I still have to try this on the rest of the house.  One big thing occurred to me;  I need to be sure to use extra mounting squares underneath places I am likely to hang pictures.  I am sure the adhesive will hold, but not sure that the paper would hold by itself...
