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. =)

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.

New Item - Baby Wall Quote in 2 colors

Check out our Children's Sayings page - The newest item is an adorable baby wall quote. 

Our newest baby wall quote comes in your choice of 2 colors.  We have it shown in black and beige.  You can choose a small 12" x 23" size but we also have it available in a large size (24"x46").  The large size is a perfect size to apply to the wall above a baby crib. 

This 2-color wall quote will come with tiny dots in between the 2 colors that can be used at application to keep your saying lined up just so!  Simple application tips are included with every order.

Circular Wall Sayings coming soon!

With our new equipment and software upgrade, we will be able to do circular sayings much easier. 

Circular wall art or sayings work well around a clock, as pictured.  They work neat on a room's archway, too.

This wall saying is one we did for family and it turned out quite elegant!  We used our beige wall vinyl.

So watch the website - we add different sayings quite frequently.  We hope to get a bunch of these circular designs posted soon!
