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.

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.

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

Be True To Who You Are - Vinyl Wall Lettering

There is a quote by a famous religious leader that I used to tell my daughter. I used to tell her to “be true to who you are and the family name you bear.”  So, I only found it fitting to put this saying on a wall next to a picture of her and I.  No, I didn’t paint it, but rather used vinyl lettering.  Vinyl wall lettering is a great way to add a favorite quote or inspirational saying to any wall in your home.  It makes a picture stand out, can uplift and inspire.  Furthermore, it’s simple to install, and inexpensive to boot! Give wall lettering a try, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do.
