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.

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.
