How to Hang Butcher Paper on the Wall

Butcher paper comes on rolls.

The large rolls of brown paper your local butcher uses to wrap cuts of meat have a place outside the supermarket. The plastic backing on butcher paper makes it a less messy craft solution for children. If you have a budding little artist at home, attach clean butcher paper to the wall at her level so she can draw or paint. You can later replace the paper and make a new canvas.

Things You'll Need

• Peel-and-stick wall hooks
• Double-sided tape
• Sticky tack

Instructions

1. Place two peel-and-stick wall hooks on the wall at the same distance apart as the butcher paper is wide. Create two small holes in the top corners of the butcher paper and slip them over the hooks to mount the paper to the wall. Use hooks that are designed for clean removal to prevent wall damage.

2. Lay the butcher paper out flat on the floor with the side that will be facing the wall upward. Apply double-sided tape near the edges of the paper. Remove the backing from the tape and press it against the wall.

3. Roll up small balls of sticky tack and place them around the back edges of the butcher paper. Push onto the wall for a damage-free way to hang the butcher paper.
