WALLPAPER SILHOUETTE FAQs
how are they installed? are they removable?
each DIY kit contains the silhouette, a packet of paste, a brush and detailed instructions on how to hang them. the wallaper paste is used to affix the silhouette to the wall. they are removable should you move or tire of them, but removal may damage walls slightly. they are not re-uasbale.

what are they made of?
the wallpaper silhouettes are made of actual wallpaper. all silhouettes are handmade - variations in pattern, color, etc are by design. about 95% of the wallpapers are vintage and in limited supply. patterns are subject to change without notice. we do our best to represent color and pattern, but can not accept responsibility for variations.

is it possible to get an animal facing right? in another pattern?
yes! though you will likely have to wait some time and our special order policies apply (see policies below). please contact us for details.

are they hard to install?
that depends. the animals are relatively simple to install for a novice. the tree is a bit more complicated, though absolutely do-able. some of our customers do hire a pro to help them with the tree.

what about a shark? a dinosaur? a cat?
sorry, but at this time we only have the silhouettes shown here. we hope to have new animals by the end of 2008. please join our mailing list for future details.

what if I don't like the pattern?
do not open the silhouette! each tube is packed with a large sample of the wallpaper on the outside. please note that we can only accept undamaged and UNOPENED articles. if you have opened the silhouette, we cannot accept it for return!

are they fragile?
yes! please do not open your wallpaper silhouette until you are ready to hang it. please note that we can only accept undamaged and UNOPENED articles. if you have opened the silhouette, we cannot accept it for return!

methyl cellulose, a wheat-based chemical compound which dissolves in water. methyl cellulose is also used as an emulsifier in foods and other products. it is non-toxic and non-allergenic.
