You could also add your boy's name above or around the ball.  The name shown here can easily fit in a 6" x 24" size custom wall saying.  The font used for "Jackson" was Rockwell Extra Bold.

ABC Wall Vinyl Lettering ~ Kids Room ~ Dr. Suess Decor

Shopko has an adorable bedding set in their baby section.  It's called Trend Lab Dr Suess 4 piece crib set. Here's the link: www.shopko.com/baby.  It comes in primary colors so it can be used for a boy or girl.  Since vinyl lettering is such a hot trend today... Wall Decor Plus More designed some Dr. Suess ABC wall stickers to match this bedding!!
You get the full alphabet in uppercase letters along with 2 lowercase letters.  The wall vinyl letters come in your choice of 4 colors.  We have it pictured here in yellow, red, ice blue and lime green.  The olive green may also coordinate well with this Dr. Suess crib set. Alphabet wall stickers would be great in a toy room or in any child's room as wall decor.

You will cut up these letters and rearrange them. They would look neat as a border scattered around the room.  Or they could be used to decorate the dresser or other furniture in the baby's room.  Wall Vinyl Stickers can be applied to any smooth or semi-smooth surface.  Simple application tips are included with each order along with an application tool. 

Wall Decor Plus More uses top-of-the-line indoor vinyl.  This means that your vinyl will look like a beautiful paint job plus it will NOT harm your walls.  Indoor vinyl stickers implies that it can be removed without taking paint or wallpaper off your walls.  Be sure to let your paint cure for 1-2 weeks before you apply these stickers - if you don't, the paint may peel off with the vinyl stickers.

Wall Vinyl Stickers/Decals on Glass ~ Using Picture Frames

Here's another idea for decorating with wall vinyl....

Placing vinyl decals or stickers on the glass of photo frames!  Most everyone has old photo frames stashed away waiting for a good use.  Or you can find various frames at the dollar stores, too.  Here's how we are going to use those photo frames: adhere wall vinyl sayings or lettering on them!

If you want a different color frame, you can take them apart and spray paint them - black is a popular and easy color to use.  You can throw away the backing of the frame.  If the backing is attached to the frame, you can add some flair by placing scrapbook paper inside as a background for your vinyl lettering or design.

Now you want to glue the glass into the frame.  I found that hot glue from a hot glue gun works best.  But you need to be quick with the hot glue as it can cool and get hard before you get all the way around the frame.  Wood glue and Gorilla glue work also but can end being messy looking.  With the hot glue gun, you can pick off the parts that show after the glue has cooled.

Now for your vinyl design.  Be sure to order the vinyl design "mirrored" or "reversed".  We will be applying the vinyl decal to the BACK of the glass so you are not pressing against the new glue job.

IDEAS:  what should you apply?  We just made the word "FAMILY" in various fonts for my sister-in-law to fit into 5x7 and 4x6 frames.  She bought the frames at the dollar store, spray painted the frames black, and inserted little screw-in hooks into the top.  The benefit of using various fonts: easy to apply as you don't have to worry as much about lining them up perfectly.  Then she ran ribbon through those hooks and attached them all to a decorative rod.  SUPER CUTE!!
Another vinyl design we applied to glass would make a GREAT baby gift.  The baby's name, date, and weight along with a cute saying.  This was in a 11x14 frame.  When you order your vinyl design from Wall Decor Plus More, you may request a box be placed around the design in the exact size of the frame.  This will make is SUPER easy to line it up straight when you are applying.  Check out the video on our website that shows you how we used this method when applying to a mirror.

After we had the saying applied, we added a few .5" dots to brighten up the black frame.  You can see the frame with no backing, when hung on the wall, has a neat 3-D look, with the lettering leaving shadows on the wall.
