Let’s Talk vinyl
I remember the first time I saw someone make a custom vinyl wallpaper, I was so intrigued! And it felt like something out of reach for a DIY. But... it's not.
You just need a few pieces of equipment. On the tech side you need a phone or computer that can access a design platform, and a vinyl cutter with software, and just a few items. Gather you materials to cut and weed the vinyl and have some fun!
Things you need:
Design platform (I use Canva)
Vinyl Cutter (I use Cricut) with design software (Cricut Design Space comes free)
Process to create your custom vinyl:
Create a saying or picture on Canva
Save the design with transparent background
Upload design to Cricut Design Space
Cut design on Cricut, following instructions on Cricut Design Space
Weed vinyl with weeding tools
Transfer vinyl to transfer tape
Place on desired surface and rub on
Remove transfer tape carefully
Tada! Your custom vinyl is complete
I use permanent vinyl, however I have learned that it does not stand the test of time unsealed (specifically in the dishwasher with regular use or with a lot of wear and tear with travel). I’ve learned that you can put a sealant on it over concrete, on wood, or on walls to keep it more secure. Look at the type of sealant works with the material you are placing it on, and add a layer or two (preventing it from peeling).
Watch below as I add vinyl to a check out counter for my upcoming Candle Pour Bars on the road! Interested in joining? Click here for details.
