Any specialists with wallpaper here? I have a question.

I have just put up a lovely mural in my son's room.

It is 14 feet long and 8 feet high.

My oldest son is 8 years old and autistic and he really gets off to tearing paper. I would like to find a cover for this mural so he won't find the wallpaper seams and start stripping it down. Do you have any ideas?

1. Plexiglass cover.

May take you 2 sheets but it won't shatter and it will keep him from peeling off the mural. It'll also wash easily so if he wants to add his own embellishments, it won't ruin your work.

2. Thanks. Is that very expensive?

Is it thin?

3. You can get it in several thicknesses

starting at 1/8th inch and no, it's really very cheap.

My granddaughter who just loves jungle animals would adore it.

5. you can make your own mural.

I found software so you can do it your self. If you have the time.. anythings possible, I saw somthing called "Extreme Picture Creator".

6. Thanks. It's a little spookier in the dark, but very dreamy, too.

They retail for about $80-90. I got mine for about $56 + tax on sale.

7. Maybe a coat of clear polyurethane to seal it

It's a thought. I have never tried this so you better ask a pro if this will damage it.

Where do you find something like that and how much loot to get one?
