Wall stickers

We bought these wall stickers from ELC recently. They look really lovely but they just DON'T STICK. They keep peeling away from the wall. Has anyone else had this problem with wall stickers? The walls are clean emulsion and the instructions just said to press on using a dry cloth, which we did. Is there any other way of getting them to stick (other than glue!)?

I might try to get a refund and see if any others work, but just interested to hear whether they all do this?

I've used wall stickers and had a real problem getting them to stick.
The wall must be SPOTLESS. Did you wash with a damp cloth and allow it to dry before applying them? If not, when they peal off, try cleaning the wall before reapplying them.

Other than that, all you can do is keep rubbing them really hard back onto the wall when they come off.
I find that they come off in the heat of summer more than in the cool of winter.

We have some from this company for my son and they are fab! Stick really well and there are some fab pictures. They also do good window stickers that don't use glue but static.

We got ours locally, but have seen them in Habitat and online.

I think it depends a bit on your wall tbh, maybe the texture of it or something like that. We had two packs of the same one and they went on great in our old flat but in this one they have been really easy to peel off so I think it must be the walls as its exactly the same set we used both times
