Creating Borders with Wall Sticker Stripes

Hello everyone! Are you looking to revitalize your walls? Well, we decided to add some stripes to our walls in the entryway here in the shop! And we figured we would elaborate in this blog on the application process of these wall stickers stripes!

Make sure to measure your space to see how many wall sticker stripes to order! Our wall stripes vary in size and pieces. They are about 2 feet long and depending on which one you order 1, 2, 4 or 6 inches high.

Once you receive your wall stripes, follow these steps.

1. As with any other wall decals, you want to make sure your wall surface is clean. Just a damp cloth works really well!

2. Make sure to have all the necessary items ready! You might need a level if you don't want to eyeball how straight the stripes are. (And believe me it is hard!)

.
3. Peel and stick. Yup, it's that simple. Watch our tutorial to see just how easy it is!  We suggest overlapping the stripes just a bit so that each section is secured together.

Our walls look so lovely! I think that's my favorite part about them. They make our entryway to the shop very warm and inviting!

I hope this tutorial helps you decide to add some pizazz to your walls! It's so easy and looks awesome!

How to Create a Grandchildren Photo Board with Clothespins

Here's something I've been wanting to do for a long time!  And then with the help of my manager (2 heads are always better than 1!), we have it accomplished... and I LOVE IT!

 

We tested out the use of a grandchildren wall decal that has been rolled and packaged for over a year; to see if the wrinkles are an issue.  We found, when applying to this glossy painted smooth board, it was no issue at all.  We did have the wall sticker lying flat for about a week before we did the application.  This is something I recommend for all wall decals that come packaged in a roll - press and lie the decals for flat for a day or 2 before application.

 Here we show the beginning of application of the wall decal... where you use the hinge-method to apply a small part first.

 

 The Grandchildren board after we have the sticker applied - shown above.  

 

I am totally going to stock on more of this type of paint!  We had been using an acrylic craft paint previously .. but this paint made application of the wall decal SO much easier.  Plus we did not waste a foam brush nor did we have to come back the next day and apply a 2nd coat.  To get a good covering, we just sprayed a 2nd layer about 10 minutes after the first.

   

Here's where my manager was handy to have around.  I was struggling to get the clothespin nailed on properly.  She suggested flipping the top part off to the side - Ah..HA - easy as pie now!

 I added wood glue under the clothespin along with nailing to keep it sturdier.

 AND... the finished project.. Grandchildren Photo Board!!  It just needs a couple grandchildren pictures to display!

Adding Spring to Our Office with Trailing Flower Vinyl Decals

Seeing as it is actually SPRING already, it was a given that the snowflake decals needed to come down in the office!  I chose these gorgeous Decorative Flower Decals to brighten up my office window.

Follow my steps to get the same trailing/flowing look:

 Choose your colors (Lilac, Plum and Soft Pink) first and then move onto cutting apart the flower wall decals. 

Cutting apart the flower decals allows me to arrange them in anyway that fits my needs. 

The type of wall decals where you can cut apart and re-arrange them gives you bargain prices for the wall area you cover. We, as a wall decal manufacturer, can make the wall decals in the most economical way and you, the customer, can arrange the wall decals to fit your available space.

Now, on to arranging the flower wall decals. I like the flowing look.  I was aiming for the flower decals to appear floating around the glass of my office window.

So I started with taping up the largest flower decals; spacing the various flower decals out.  I had to take the tape layer off right away because I was anxious to see how it was shaping up!

After that I added the next largest size and did this step until I was down to the littlest flower decals.

The tiny flower wall decals were used to fill in and add tails to the floating design.
