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
