I've used the plastic bag trick a few times myself, and honestly, it's underrated. Sure, it's not going to fool anyone into thinking you hired a pro, but that's kind of the charm, right? It adds personality without looking overly polished or sterile. I once did a friend's guest room wall using crumpled-up brown paper bags instead of plastic—gave it a slightly different texture, more rustic and earthy. Turned out surprisingly cozy.
The newspaper glaze idea sounds intriguing too, though I've never tried it personally. Wondering if the ink would bleed through or if you'd get some interesting subtle patterns from the print itself. Has anyone here experimented with other unconventional materials for wall textures? Always curious to hear about creative alternatives...
