DIY staircase makeover in $25

Soo I did this for a wedding , my wedding to be precise. 

It was in an unfinished basement.  I needed to dress it up on a budget. Hence carpeting was out of the question.

This is what it looked like:

 

 I got Rock Wall Patterned Flat paper from stumpsparty.com for $19 plus shipping. 1 roll was enough for that staircase.

Next I got the flat head thumb tacks :  .

Thats all the material I used.

There was nothing to it. I really stretched out the paper and pressed it flat on to the stairs with thumb tacks . To avoid hurting my thumb from pressing all those thumb tacks, I used a hammer. And I made sure not to leave any crease or loose paper to prevent falling accidents or rip and tear.And I use thumb tacks on the top of each step as well as the sides of it to avoid falling hazard. I can't stress that enough. This is what it turned out to be

e 

Girls walked in on it throughout the event with high heels and I was impressed that it didn't tear. And the color of it gave the benefit that it didn't look dirty with all that traffic..normal weather traffic..I haven't tried wet muddy boots on it, I didn't have the heart to test it out over my hard work. But anywhoos Tadaaa 

Woww I didn't even remember I had blogged here

I used to be a regular blogger at OpenDiary.com but then I got married. Didn't feel like writing for 4 years with all the major adjustments and growing up :) Imagine my dismay when I tried signing in on it after all these years only to find out that the site had been shut down. I was so heartbroken. A notification would have been nice from the admin. 6 years of blogs down the drain. I was a chirpy happy blogger in those writings. 

So I decided to blog again and I came here. I was shocked to find I had three entries here and few nice people had  even left me comments . Reading the posts made me feel so wierd. I don't recognize the person in those writings. I sound so depressed, boring and dry.  I can't even decide if I have changed for the better or worse . But I suppose who cares, what difference does it make. 
Hah this a very non productive and useless entry but I needed to write it anyways
