Floppy Discs! They seem to archaic now don't they? But, they can still be found in thrift stores, coast to coast. In fact, because they aren't often bought when put out on the shelves, you can call ahead to thrift stores to see if there's any in the back room, they often get them donated, but don't toss them just yet.

This pixelated method would be a way to redecorate often, as you could easily attach velcro to the back of each disc and then in a grid pattern across your wall. Make a new mural every day, once a month or with the seasons! A can of vinyl spray paint will change up your colors and create a tight, flake free bond.
