1. Collect the stuff you need:
Start approaching your ideas by collecting the stuff you need. The list of things you need are:

- Scissors
- Contact paper which is colored on one side and sticky on the other side.
- Scrap paper like rough paper or newspaper.

(The cost of collecting all these utensils will be summed up as $40-$50, which is quite cheap.)
2. Sketch the design:
The design or idea you want to accomplish or want your room look alike, start drawing the rough sketch on the newspaper or the rough paper.
3. Check the size according to the surface of use:
Fix the sketch on the surface of placement using a tape and satisfy yourself about the size and design being ideal for the surface.
4. Copy the sketch on the contact paper:
When you’re satisfied with the size and the design of your drawing, transfer the design by drawing it on the contact paper. Use a lead pencil so that it can be erased if necessary.
5. Cut the final design:
When you have finished with copying the design on the contact paper, start cutting in out leaving some margins from the sides to avoid any inconvenience. Save the scraps for later use.
6. Paste it on the surface:
Stick the contact paper on the wall by removing the back cover of the contact paper of the cuttings one by one. Use the library card to remove the air bubbles so that it can be pasted properly.
