Instead of spending your time painting a wild forest theme on your wall, why not invest in wall stickers? I love the idea of wall stickers. They are easy to use and are reusable.

The lovely people from Walls of the Wild has given us the Butterfly collection to review. There are a total of 15 stickers consisting of butterflies, a dragonfly and a hummingbird.
