Bathroom Wall Decor - Wall Sticker Circles

I wanted to quickly share this customer's photo!  Anna used Wall Decor Plus More's Wall Circles and Rings to decorate her girls' bathroom.  She did a SUPER job!!  It turned out SOOOO cute!!  She used the hot pink and lime green colors.  This is what she shared on Facebook:    This is my girls new bathroom...taped them up first to check the design. This was fantastic because then the tape helped pull them of the backing. Very happy with product and even worked on a textured wall.

Using Wall Vinyl Decals for your Camper Decor

I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing summer!  Since it's that time of year that a lot of people are hauling their campers down to their favorite river spot or campground; let's show you how simple it is to brighten your camper decor!

Since campers are moved around a lot and thus, not so stable, having something on the walls that will not break is a priority!  Wall vinyl decals are PERFECT!  Slap them up and they look like you spent hours painting a fancy design.  You can either choose an elegant wall vinyl saying like pictured. 

Or you can add some wall shapes, like polka dots or squares, to brighten the decor in a few areas. 

Another option, wall vinyl stripes!  You can use the wall stripes to add a border on the wall.  Or use the variety wall stripes to decorate, say, around your table area or some similiar small area.  The wall vinyl stripes are VERY simple to use - just peel the backing and place it on the wall.  As long as you line up each strip, end to end, exactly, you can usually get by without having to measure much at all!  That's my favorite kind of decorating - no tape measure!!

Happy camping to everyone!!

Outdoor Vinyl - Decorating your mailbox!

I got my new mailbox DONE!  A little background on our mailbox...  I had to get a new, bigger mailbox this past winter to fit all my packages I was mailing out.  Within ONE day, my beautifully newly decorated mailbox was crashed into by the snowplow!  So I had to get ANOTHER one!  The first one had stick people on both sides.  Well, my husband was around as I was working on adding my outdoor vinyl decals to the 2nd mailbox.  He wasn't keen on the idea of more stick people.  So we settled!  He got his farm stuff on one side and I got the stick people on the other side.  I must say, it turned out nicely!  I guess we need to thank the snowplow for that! 

I blurred out the address for security purposes but that is on there as well.  The stick people are easily ordered here ~ order each individual person as you need them.  The stick people are ADORABLE on a family vehicle, too!  After you order your stick people, all you need is some vinyl lettering for your mailbox. 

Outdoor vinyl lettering is excellent for vehicle lettering, also.  The outdoor vinyl that I use has a 6-year outdoor durability.  Some other uses for outdoor vinyl are: US DOT # for farmer's trucks/trailers, vinyl decals to put on planters and flower boxes, personalize your water bottle, lettering for signs, and the list goes on and on.  These outdoor vinyl decals are proven car wash durable so they are an excellent choice when you need to add business lettering/advertising to a vehicle.

5 Things you need before you apply your vinyl decal

#1.  You need a clean wall or surface!  You may use a cleanser to wash with first.  Then, be sure to thoroughly wash it with just water.  You do NOT want any soap residue left over which may take away from the quality of your adhesived backed vinyl decal.

#2.  Your surface needs to be between 60 and 80 degrees F.  For indoor walls, this is not generally a problem.  When you are applying vinyl wording to a ceramic/porcelain tile or vinyl lettering to a vehicle, you need to pay close attention to this.  I always place my tiles in front of a heater for a few minutes before I apply my vinyl wording.  If you are outdoors (such as applying vinyl lettering to your vehicle), then make use of a hair blow dryer for a few minutes to bring the surface to the correct temperature.  The correct temperature is VERY important as I have had it proven many times.

#3.  Your paint should be allowed to cure for 4 weeks to be on the safe side but in some cases one week is good enough.  If you are applying a vinyl decal over painted walls, etc, please wait 4 weeks before applying for best results.  If you apply your vinyl decal too soon, when you decide to take your vinyl decal down, the paint underneath could be ruined when you remove the decal. 

#4  Along the lines of paint... applying vinyl decals over top of LATEX paint is not recommended - but I have always done it =)! It is best to use oil based paints.  But since I am not a fan of paint thinner and the clean-up needed with oil-based paints, all of my inside walls are painted with latex.  I have had decals up for over a year now with EXCELLENT results.  I am only passing this information on to keep you totally informed and I will let you judge what you prefer to do.

#5  Have the correct tools handy.  The tools you will need:
                    a squeegee or popsicle stick to rub over your decal
                    a tape measure to make sure your vinyl decal is applied straight and centered where needed (I like to use the soft tape measure like this - for some reason it works best with my 2 left thumbs).
