Inspirational Sign Made With Vinyl Lettering

Most people love to be inspired, and there come time in all of our lives when we just need that gentle reminder of who we are, what our values are, or what goals we have set for ourselves. One thing that seems to work well for most people is to have a custom inspirational sign made that can be displayed on a dresser, desk at work, or anywhere where it will act as a reminder of your goals, values, and ideals.

The sign in this images came as a result of a need to be reminded that tough times act to strengthen character, and refine you as a person. The beautiful thing about building your own inspirational sign, is that it is made just for you, and will therefore act to inspire and remind you of your ultimate purpose or goals.

To create a custom sign like this, you just need a small piece of wood (this one is 8″x8″), some acrylic paint, and some custom vinyl lettering. Just paint the sign (distress the edges with a sanding block if you like that look), let the paint dry, and apply your vinyl letters. You can order vinyl lettering online, and Wall Stamps has a great selection of inspiration quotes that are pre-designed, or you can create your own custom phrases as well.

Wedding Monogram - Vinyl Wall Lettering

Monograms are in!  To be honest, they never really went out of style.  Monograms have been, and will likely continue to be popular in all types of design circles, especially within the realm of interior design.  Monograms can be created to create any type of look you want, from classy to spunky, elegant to fun.  Whatever your taste in decor, a monogram can be created to add just the right touch of personality to any room in your home.

One type of monogram that has been gaining in popularity is the wedding monogram, which features a couples names and wedding date.  Often, these monograms take advantage of multiple colors, using a dark color in the background, and a lighter color overlay (or vice versa).  While it’s the norm to install these monograms on a family photo wall, they also make great decorative tiles and signs.  The decorative tiles are great wedding or anniversary gifts.

Whatever you’re trying to create, if you want to create it with vinyl letters, we can help.  You can buy vinyl lettering on our website, wallstamps.net.  We have pre-designed wall lettering or decorative tile lettering kits, or we’re happy to help you create something custom from scratch.  For more information about purchasing vinyl lettering, please email us at anna@wallstamps.net.

Holiday Vinyl on Fireplace Mantle.

One thing I love about vinyl lettering is the ability to decorate in a unique fashion for every holiday. Since it’s so inexpensive to do, you can do something new every year, and then simply remove the lettering after the holiday.  It’s that simple.  There are a lot of ways you can use vinyl letters in your holiday decor, either by creating home decor items you can use year after year, or by creating temporary decor that is simply removed and discarded after the holidays are over.

We have decorated for halloween by putting little vinyl bats all over the walls of the entry way, or put some vinyl mistletoe on the ceiling right inside the door.  This year, we put a big red “Merry Christmas” on the outside of the door, as well as a little lettering on the mantle above the fireplace.   Wall stamps has a great selection of holiday vinyl, or you can always bring your own ideas to life by placing a custom vinyl lettering order.  Either way, vinyl wall lettering is a great way to decorate for the holiday without spending a lot of time or money. To buy vinyl lettering, please contact anna@wallstamps.net, or visit our website, www.wallstamps.net.

Floating letters spell the word "Family."

I found a bunch of nice looking picture frames on clearance at a dollar store (yes, clearance at a dollar store…unheard of, I know).  They ended up being about 50 cents each, so I bought all they had.  There were a lot of different sizes, so I wondered how I might use them.  A few weeks ago, however I decided to utilize them to decorate a family photo wall, but not by putting pictures in them.  Instead, I turned them into beautiful floating frames using vinyl lettering, which, when combined, featured the word “family.”

I used a new design of ours, FA032, and cut the word family into individual vinyl letters, each one a different size.  Then, I simplyl put each individual letter on one frame.  When all the odd sized frames combined, they spelled the world family, and having each letter on different frames gave our photo wall just the touch of personality I was hoping for.

Personalized Christmas gift for teachers.

If you’re the typical mom, you struggle each year finding the right Christmas gift for your children’s teather.  Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it can be difficult to find a gift that is economical, functional, and shows that you actually put some thought into it.  Last year we made 6″ decorative tiles using vinyl lettering, with a quote about teachers.  This year, however, we made customized pencil holders that turned out to be really cute!

What you need:

• Small Glass Jar (I got these at Walmart)
• Some ribbon (I chose red because it’s a Christmas gift)
• Some pencils (Got these at the dollar store)
• Custom Vinyl Lettering (available at wallstamps.net)

First, you have to get your glass jars, so you know what size of vinyl lettering to get.  I got glass jars that were about 4×4″ square.  Next, you need to get your custom vinyl letters to put the design on the glass. If you email anna@wallstamps.net, she can make the lettering to fit whichever glass container size you select (but it’s better not to go smaller than 4×4).

After you have your vinyl, you simply affix it to the glass jar.  Tie the ribbon around the top, and fill it full of pencils.  Now, you have a gift that was economical, thoughtful, and sure to get lots of use and attention by your child’s teacher.

Finished floating frame with vinyl lettering.

While there are so many things you can do with custom vinyl lettering, many people only use it for their walls, or for making decorative signs. In this post, I’ll show you another way to use custom vinyl letters to build a truly one of a kind home decor piece - a beautiful floating picture frame.

If you’ve never seen a floating picture frame before, I’ve posted an image of a finished one here. The floating frame can be used to house wedding pictures, family pictures, or just about anything you want it to be. The one pictured here highlights a family picture, along with a list of family values. As you can see by the finished image, this is a beautiful home decor piece, that would make an excellent gift.

Attaching the vinyl lettering to the frame.

The vinyl lettering is used to give the frame a little bit of personal charm, highlighting both the family name, and the established date.

If you’d like to create one of these beautiful frames, you can get step by step instructions at U Create, located here.

Fun Kids Monogram

One of the hardest rooms to decorate is a childs room, especially if you’re renting, and cannot paint. However, with one simple step you can transform a plain children’s room into a fun, fantastic wonderland that your children will love using vinyl lettering. Kids love to see their name, so why not give them a fun kids monogram that they’ll love. Not only will it make the room come alive, but the kids will love it, and with wall lettering it’s inexpensive and simple to do, without the need to paint. Monograms made of vinyl letters, are great for those renting, or who do not want to paint, because they’re simple to install, and are just easy to remove when you’d like to take them down, and they won’t damage your painted walls.

Kids monograms can be done in a traditional fashion, or in a fun and frilly style to match your childs personality. If your child is into princesses, then use a fun princess type font. If your child is into pirates, then use a pirate style font, such as Caribbean, or Pirates 1. Also, you can make them two tone, like the one shown here. The bottom line is that, with a little creativity, you can create a fun wall words monogram for your child’s room without spending a lot of time or money on it.

Custom Monogram of Vinyl Lettering

One thing people ask us about on a consistent basis is whether or not we can do custom monograms using vinyl lettering. Vinyl wall lettering monograms can add a lot of beauty to any room in your home.  If you’re not familiar with what a monogram is, amonogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining one or more letters form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos. A series of uncombined initials is properly referred to as a cypher and is not a monogram, although ciphers are frequently referred to as monograms.  An individual’s monogram is often a very fancy piece of art for adorning luggage, clothing, and so forth. Monograms of the names of monarchs are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges.

However, monograms, in the sense that we refer to them, are letters, that generally represent someone’s initials, specifically in regard to their last name.  We have made custom monograms for people to cover a wide variety of uses, including installing vinyl letters monograms on:

• Mirrors
• Shower Doors
• Picture Frames
• Wedding Scrap Books
• Picture Walls
• Decorative Tiles
• Decorative Signs
• Bedroom Walls (above headboard)
• Etc.

While these are the traditional uses of monograms made from custom vinyl letters (sometimes referred to as wall words), there are literally hundreds of ways you could use a monogram to decorate your home, adding a touch of style, class, and personality to anything you do.  We have even made monogram stencils that people can use to etch their pyrex glassware.

Vinyl Wall Lettering - Families Are Forever

I remember as a kid growing up watching the TV Show “Leave It to Beaver” on Nick at Night. What a great show, especially in contrast to all the garbage on television now days. It seems as if the “good old family values” we knew and loved back then have gone the way of the birds, but there are those of us who still hold true to the values of the past, and what better way to showcase our love of life and family than a great entry way quote.

Now, highlighting your families commitment to values such as love, friendship, and religion is easier than ever with vinyl lettering from Wall Stamps. We have a great selection (such as the item pictured here) of wall words quotes that highlight religious, family, or friendship quotes.

If you’re interested in a great selection of wall lettering quotes, Wall Stamps offers two great ways to shop for your vinyl wall lettering: by theme, or by room. No matter what you’re looking for, chances are we’ll have some designs you’ll love, and if we don’t, you can always contact us directly regarding custom design jobs.

"Oh, the places you'll go." - Wall Lettering

One of the most utilized rooms of our home is our upstairs playroom.  With three kids, under the age of 6, it’s no wonder the room is so well used.  Because my kids spend so much time in there, I wanted to create a great atmosphere, and did so with wall words made from vinyl lettering.

I started with a theme.  I chose the theme “world traveler.”  I got a large map, had my husband build a frame for it, which I painted black.  Next, I purchased 4 inexpensive clocks from Target.  Above the clocks in vinyl letters I put the words London, Tokyo, Paris, Provo - and set the clocks to reflect the time of each of the places.

Next, I found some fun quotes about travel, like one from Dr. Suess “Oh, the places you’ll go” etc.  These quotes I did in coordinating colors, and randomly affixed them to the walls with the same wall letters.  We ended up with a fun playroom that my kids absolutely LOVE!
