In Everything Give Thanks ~ Vinyl Saying on Canvas

Are you the person that hesitates to put wall quotes on your walls because you may be moving or changing things soon?  Here is another idea for you:  adhere your vinyl saying to a canvas making it portable - moving it room to room!

Framed canvases can be purchased at craft or art stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels.  For the vinyl sticker to adhere best, you should paint the canvas the color of choice.  Then apply the wall saying or quote, just like you would on the wall. 

You can also add some embellishments, like shown above, with a hot glue gun.  We added leaves to our "In Everything Give Thanks" quote, using a tan as our background paint color.

This quote is available to purchase in our Kitchen Sayings section: http://walldecorplusmore.com/kitchen-sayings.html

New item - Monogram with Name Wall Sticker

Click HERE to check out our new Monograms!  Here is a customer-shared photo of the most popular- Monogram with Child's Name - a 2-color decal - $14 for the 12" x 12" size or $35 for 2 foot by 2 foot size. 

The font used for Jacqueline is a special request - Loki Cola.  Check out our available fonts and colors HERE - we have some more fun font options just added. 

Also used in this same room is the Small Zebra Dots set with the 6" Variety Polka Dots - a neat combinatino mentioned in a past blog post.

Mailbox Decals - Farm, Airplane...

We have been having fun with Mailbox Decals this summer!  Now is the time to decorate your mailbox with vinyl stickers - before the cold weather arrives.

Check out the custom mailboxes we have done recently.  The airplane mailbox is for a family that loves their Dad pilot!

Next we did a few for a farm family operation.

Keep in mind that all these images can be incorporated into a personalized Mailbox Decal for your home also.

We have a wider variety of outdoor vinyl in stock now.  The colors include: Black, White, Beige, Red, Yellow, Silver, Hot Pink, and Lime Green.

Zebra Wall Stickers and Polka Dots

A customer shared this neat idea.  They purchased the 17 zebra dots (Zebra Dots - 17 piece) in Black vinyl from our Children's Wall Decor page along with the 6" Variety Dots in Hot pink found on our Polka Dot page.  They were combined to decorate closet space.  VERY neat idea!  What a way to jazz up some boring empty bedroom space!

Vinyl Sayings and Quotes on Boards

Here's another way to use Wall Vinyl Sayings and Quotes - apply the saying or quote to a painted board.

We are gearing up for our fall craft shows and having fun with some neat ideas.  So here are a few boards we have ready to go. 

First, we have been using Aspen wood purchased at Menards.  We buy it as a larger piece and cut it down.  Aspen seems to be quite sturdy but lightweight.   Hobby Lobby also has routered unfinished wood that works excellent for this purpose.

For the Laugh/Love board shown here, we made a stencil using our Floral Wall Art.  Then we used
etching cream to paint the floral design on the painted board.  A light paint color would work fine for this also but the etching cream was an experiment =) and gave it a unique texture.

The next neat board we made - a Sister saying with a Zebra Stripe background.  For this one, we painted the board a lime green.  The stripes are our Warm Grey Zebra Stripes sized to fit the board.  Finally we added the Hot Pink Sister saying on top.  For hanging purposes, we added the wire.

Another favorite is the Laundry Room board.  Beige vinyl saying applied to a Brown board with a few embellishments added to the corners.

Flower Wall Stickers with Stems

One of our latest pages - Tree and Floral Wall Art - features these unique Flower Decals. 

There are a variety of flower tops to choose from.  Stems can be added on the order, if you choose also. 

You choose the color of the flower and also the color of the flower stems. 

You get to use your own flair in putting them together - tall and straight or short and sweet or however you desire. 

These are a breeze to apply, especially to any smooth surface. 

It's always best to let paint cure 2 weeks before applying vinyl decals.

Car and/or Pickup Fishing Decal

Since vinyl can be used indoor and out, we have been messing around with vehicle decals along with our Wall Stickers.

My brothers give me a whole other aspect of pickup decals that I could never think of on my own.  Most of it involves hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling =).

I made this decal for my brother's pickup.  If you look closely, you can see the children car seats in the back seat.  So yes, he has other priorities besides pickup decals!  But now his wife can say, "You already have a decal." 

My youngest brother is unmarried at the moment and therefore has his vehicles quite decorated up.  We exchange mower tune-ups for new decals - what a bargain!  Check out how SHARP this looks just by adding the windshield sticker!  His pickup met with a deer a little harshly so when the pickup is fixed up, we can start redoing all those decals!

On the To-Do List:

1.  Add logos to our own vehicle, now that I have a Beige vinyl to work with.

2.  Add a New Page to the website for you to purchase your own Vehicle Decals.

New Outdoor Colors Available

Wall Decor Plus More has a few more choices for outdoor vinyl available.  Outdoor vinyl is used as vehicle decals or anything that needs to withstand outdoor elements for an extended time.  The new outdoor vinyl colors are:

Hot Pink
Lime Green
and Beige

The color samples can be viewed on our Colors and Fonts page - the new colors (hot pink, lime, and beige) are the same as the indoor vinyl samples.  The only difference - outdoor vinyl is glossy for a better view whereas indoor vinyl has a matte finish so it looks like paint.

What I had in mind for the new colors:  Hot pink and Lime would make a neat addition to a teen's car.  Say, initials in the back window, dots around the edges of a car window or even personalized with a name and flowers for a "girly" look.  The Beige will work excellent for brown mailbox lettering.  What do you think?  Post any and all comments here or on our Facebook page.

Vacation Time!

We are taking a short vacation this week.  We are leaving on Tuesday, June 21st and will be back and taking orders again on Friday, June 24th.  We expect to have all orders packaged and ready to mail on Monday, June 27th.

**This is a camping vacation and it looks like rain =(.  So maybe we will be home earlier.  In any case, the Blackberry will get any important messages forwarded to us.**

Portable and Personalized Growth Chart - Great Gift Idea

Check out this gift we gave to our niece and nephew.  It's a growth chart on a board, personalized with their names and unique icon. Each child's name has a different color.  Mom will mark their growth by writing on a 1" dot in a coordinating color and placing it on the chart.  The 4 foot by 6 inch board makes it great to move to a new room or store as a keepsake later on.  You can see instructions on putting a growth chart on a board in our blog post HERE.

More Mailbox Decals Added

At this wonderful time of summer, jazzing up your mailbox is ideal!  Wall Decor Plus More has just added a nice selection of mailbox decals.  We have a wide variety to suit your tastes plus we are open to any suggestions and custom orders.  We have already designed a couple custom farm mailboxes - one with a hay grinder!

Wall Sayings & Quotes - A Useful Parenting Tool

Are you a parent who finds yourself repeating the same thing EVERY day to your children?  I do it almost automatically as a stay-at-home mom of five children. 

 "Did you wash your hands?" 

"Remember to brush your teeth, please."

So here's a cool tip so you can save your breath - Place the saying on the wall as a wall sticker and room decor!  We all have vivid memories of certain things that were on our walls as were growing up, don't we?  Just think - placing the quote on the wall will leave a lasting impression on your child!  An added bonus... they elegantly decorate an empty wall!  Adding a little humor into makes it even more fun and memorable!

Check out the wide selection of Wall Sayings and Quotes at www.WallDecorPlusMore.com.

Personalized Graduate Decals available

Are you all in the middle of the hectic days of graduations one after the other, too?  We have been - it always sneaks up on me, it seems.  With trying to enjoy the nice weather when (or if) it comes in there also! 

So I have had these on the website for a little while already.  We have a new Graduation Page.  You can order a personalized decal for that special graduate - it would be a unique and memorable gift!  They can be ordered in the outdoor vinyl to be used as a car decal.  Or you can a choose a color from our larger selection of indoor colors to be used as a wall sticker!

New Item - Vines and Florals Wall Vinyl Decal

A New Page and Items have been added to our website: www.WallDecorPlusMore.com.

The new page, Tree & Floral Wall Art, can be found HERE.  The page will feature Wall Vinyl Stickers in today's hottest styles including vines, florals, and trees!

The first new item is our Florals pictured above.  We offer them in 2 sizes: 

a 15" x 16" size for $15

or a 9" x 13" size for $11.

These vines can be hidden partially behind other wall decor, like picture frames,  as shown.  Another thing you can easily do with these florals is cut it up into pieces.  Or you can even cut a side of it off and place it in a corner so it looks like it is "growing" out of your wall edge.  LOTS of possibilites...!

New Item - Animal Print Square in Giraffe and Cheetah Patterns

Check out the latest item added to Wall Decor Plus More's Children Wall Decor section!  Animal Print Wall Sticker squares.  They come with 6 squares - 3 in each pattern.  Each square measures 7" x 7" size.  They come  in a alternating pattern for each square.  I think you classify them as giraffe and cheetah prints. 

Let us know if you would like a different size!  When applied in a row, these Animal Print squares make a great room border!

Coming next... Wall Tree stickers!

A Tip for removing the backing of the Wall Sticker Shapes

Do you have trouble peeling the backing off our wall sticker shapes?  This comment was passed on to us and we have known this as we have applied numerous shapes in the past.  Some people don’t have problems and some just feel it is time-consuming.  So, to help you out, try this trick.  Use a piece a tape.  If you used tape to stick them to the wall before the actual application, to get a feel of how to space them, then you have a head start.  If not, just stick a tiny piece of tape, preferably painter’s tape that isn’t so sticky, either to the backing or the actual vinyl sticker.  If you pull back on the piece of tape, the backing should start to come away from the sticker.  If you stuck the tape to the vinyl sticker, carefully peel the tape off, after application is complete, being careful not to tear or stretch the sticker.  We continually are researching new and improved methods and you hear it first if we have a new and improved design to offer.

NEW Zebra Star Wall Decor

My daughter's room is now "COOL"!  According to her anyway.. nevermind that we can't photograph even close to the floor, as that is tornado zone!  Anyway, we applied our NEW Zebra Star Stickers in the girls room.  And they do look pretty cool, even to my eyes!

So check out the new Zebra Star Stickers on our Children's Wall Decor Page.  The Zebra Stars come on a sheet of 9 stars -
      3- 8.5"
      2 each in 6", 5", and 4" size

We applied these on a typical textured wall and it was a BREEZE - no tiny pieces to work with because the whole sticker is connected together.  Application time was a MAX of 30 minutes.  The Zebra Stars use the same application technique as wall sayings and quotes - rub, stick, peel.

To brighten up the Zebra Stars you can add the Variety Star Pack, as shown in the room photo.  The Variety Star Stickers are the simple Peel-n-Stick application - just like our Polka Dots. 

A Typical Day at Wall Decor Plus More

This post is a little out of the ordinary.  I am going to share a little about Wall Decor Plus More on a personal level.  We are a home-based business that makes wall stickers and decals.  A majority of our products are designed by us and all are produced and cut right here in our basement in rural South Dakota.  The "we" or "us" of Wall Decor Plus More...
     Kristi, which is me =), is the owner/operator.  I oversee all the operations and do pretty much all the design work.  I am a Mom of 5 kids - the oldest being 11 years and the youngest are 3 year old twins.  Married for 12 years and we live on a farm.  So every morning, after the e-mails are checked, you find the 2 oldest children and I feeding our 500 cattle as their Dad has already left for work.
     Danielle is an 8th grade student and a niece of mine.  She had back surgery to correct scoliosis last summer.  This job is perfect for her since she doesn't need to do alot of lifting or bending.  Danielle does most of the cutting of the wall shapes plus she helps with all the sayings and zebra items.
    Stephanie is a senior in high school.  Stephanie came to work for us when we took a week long vacation last year.  She is quite proficient on the computer so, when the orders are all taken care, Stephanie helps out with web design, photo editing, etc.

This photo shows a part of our "work square", as I call it.  We have a large unfinished cement basement.  A square is setup with our vinyl operation.  The rest of the basement is scattered with whatever the children are playing with at the moment.  And yes, those toys make their way into the square at times too. =)

New Item - Camouflage Splotch Wall Stickers

 The newest item at Wall Decor Plus More:  Camouflage Splotch Wall Stickers! 

The Camo Stickers are a simple peel-n-stick application process.  They are even easier to apply  than our wall circles. 

You can order a 2-color ($20) or a 3-color set ($29). 

Overlap the pieces to get a camouflage look.  Use your wall color as an additional color in the design. 

You get 19 pieces PER color. 

The largest sized piece is around 9".

Color combinations that work good for the Camo Wall Decor are:
    Olive/Chocolate/Tan
    Deep Blue/Traffic Blue/Powder Blue
    Hot Pink/Soft Pink/Black

Application tips for Wall Vinyl Stickers - More Options

Here are some more options to keep in mind as you are applying Wall Vinyl Stickers from Wall Decor Plus More.  Our Wall Stickers come in  Large Circles (most popular), Large Rounded Squares, Hearts, Stars, Funky Circles, and Funky Rounded Squares.  The ones that can be most problematic are the large stickers in the circles and rounded squares.

A customer noted that she used a Bone Folder .  Be sure to choose one that has a straight side.
      
You could use this on the back, sticky part after you remove the backing.  And/or you can use it to smooth/rub the sticker firmly on the wall.

You want to be sure, once the backing is off, that the sticker doesn't fold and stick together.  And secondly, do NOT stretch and tug the sticker.  The wall vinyl sticker is easily stretched, will lose its shape and cause bubbles or wrinkles.

Another option for application: painter's tape.  This method would be ideal for the rounded squares.  Be sure to use painter's tape that is less tacky allowing for easier removal.  Take a long piece of tape and adhere to your wall sticker shape - all the way across from top to bottom - while the backing is still on and lying on a flat smooth surface.  Next, tape the shape to the wall.  While holding the piece of tape straight, remove the backing.  The tape will keep the shape straight and eliminate a chance of stretching the wall vinyl.  Once the wall sticker shape is firmly adhered to the wall, peel the tape off.  Peel gently so that you do not remove the shape from the wall.
