    Any major DIY shop will sell them like B&Q, Homebase or Wilkinsons.

    Rather than pay a lot of money - could you cut out comic characters etc and then paste them on the wall?

    hey thanks guys

    the cutting out and pasting them on is a real mess!!

    i thought stickers would be easier
  • do you have a Home and Bargains store nearby? I bought a couple of packs of stickarounds from there just before christmas for only 99p a pack. They only had 1 sort which was a jungle theme including lions giraffes elephants and some smaller animals. I think there was a total of 45 stickers a pack.

    Ive just found them on ebay but alot cheaper in home and bargains.

    I don't know if this will still work, but a few years ago I went into Blockbuster and asked about the plastic stickers they put up on their windows when a new video (yes VHS - shows how long ago it was) was released, eg Disney. They said that generally they were thrown away after a promotion if none of the staff were interested. I managed to get some large stickers that would stick on the windows or alternatively on the wall (can't remember which film it was for - again shows how long ago it was).

    So go talk nicely to one of the assistants or perhaps the manager at your local video store, you never know they may have some spare.
