I bought some stuff like this at Sam's Club.. it was for making static
window clings, it's not the same stuff :( you can run them through a
printer so you could put anything you want on them.  though I wasn't
able to get it to stick to glass very well.. much less Lego (which is
what I bought the pack for)
I was thinking I could glue stick it in the corners with some not so
perm glue... at least it would give you the effect you're looking for.
Maybe I should dig those out again and give it another shot :)

If you get any of this and find a better way to work with it LMK!
