For those of you that have not been to our house or have not had the tour of the homestead Ben has a jungle themed room. I found these cute "Wall stickers" online about 7 months ago and so I ordered them and waited in anticipation for them in the mail. When they got here I was disappointed to find out that they were just animal shapes cut out in contact paper. They were not cheap and when I saw them online they appeared bigger than they really were. I decided to keep them because I still liked them and the bright colors were fantastic.
Since I received them I often thought that I can easily make my own animals with contact paper and why wouldn't I? I found this to be rather difficult to achieve since it is super hard to find contact paper in anything other than an awful floral, marble, or wood grain pattern. One day while shopping in Fred Meyers I spotted one roll of super cute green contact paper. I snagged it and brought it home with every intention of making Ben a giraffe. Months passed and I had forgotten all about the giraffe when last night, after the kids were all in bed, I decided this was the perfect time to make the it. I think it turned out pretty darn cute and about the size of a baby giraffe. I think now that I need to make a few trees and some jungle vines and his room will finally be complete. Maybe by the time he is a year I'll have it done!
