Vinyl Decals on Glass in Frames, Photo Wall
Before I left for Creative Estates this last week, I decided to put some finishing touches on a few small frames that we are using in our family room photo wall collage.
I know it’s taking FOREVER to reveal, but I have ONE more project after this to finish, and then the photo wall will be complete! 🙂
All I did was take these three small IKEA frames and back them with paper that coordinated with my photo wall.
Then I designed some vinyl for each frame, and placed them on the glass!
Um… yep. Easy as that! haha!
I know it’s not a “huge” step in the big picture, but I knew someone was going to ask me about it, so I thought I would just post the process as I went along.
I cut these decals out on my Silhouette, in white matte vinyl.
I used the fonts:
Disco
Modern No. 20
Adobe Woodtype Ornaments

I agree. The five is kind of odd. I think it's that the bottom of the five looks like a fish. Other than that, I think the concept is great!
Lorie says
I love it! And I like the font on the 5, but I think I would make it a smidge smaller. I need a little more space around the edges.
Shelley Heck says
I feel like waking my daughter up from her nap, rushing to IKEA and making this project! haha Awesome! I can't wait to see your photo wall!!!
Janet says
How awesome is this?! I love it….gosh, I need me a cricut…or silhouette. So sad and jealous.
Great job!

I so wish I had a silhouette! I've been stalking your blog for a while and just decided to whole heartedly take the leap myself. Stop over sometime to tiarasandbowties.blogspot.com
I would be immensly honored if you checked my new blog out! I would be ever most grateful if you had a few words of advice as well 😉
Thanks, Kim

That is so cute! I miss everyone from Creative Estates already, especially your cuteness. I cannot get your song out of my head. I catch myself singing it all day long, but I don't sing or dance as good as you.
Michell @ Girl In Air says
Oh I LOVE the 5! Looks like you had a blast at Creative Estates! I can't wait to attend next year:-)
Unknown says

Either way, love you and your love for all things vinyl 🙂

I'm with you on the 5. I liked it at first glance, but now there is something just off about it. I think it's that tail out of the curl part. … I LOVE the idea though! So cute. 🙂
Unknown says
That's really cute & so creative! I can't wait to see your wall all come together. We're working on a photo wall above the mantle. It's always so fun to see other's come together.
LL from KS says
I think that is such an awesome idea! I love the 5, and happen to use that number a lot in my house because we are a family of 5, so I'd be happy to take that off your hands sif you need me too! :0)
B's Mommy says
Party of 5! Love it! What a clever idea! Looking forward to the reveal.
SheilaG @ Plum Doodles says
Looks great! I like the style of the 5, maybe you should just make it a little smaller?
Charity says
I absolutely LOVE it!!! You're killing me here. I really want a silhouette! I want this project! It's fun and fab!
jen says
i love this! maybe the 5 in the coffee tin font you used for something else… (can't recall this second, but i totally downloaded it and used it!).
i did the same thing this past weekend as the vinyl transfer paper pulls the paint off my super old doors – made a laundry room sign – it's adorable!
thanks for all your tips – i love them!!!

This is a cute project. I have a frame right next to my desk that needs something, but can't figure out what.
I just want to tell you that I love your blog. You are so creative but also honest about what is going on in your life. You make me smile every time I come here. Thanks!
Renee' says
You are so darn clever!! I agree with Lorie, maybe a little smaller on the 5. It was so much fun to meet you at Creative Estates, like I told you, I always have to check your blog as soon as I see you've posted!!
Karlie says
Awesome love it. I like the five. Fun! Can't wait to see it finished! Jeffrey said in his prayer last night, "bless we can go to Aunt Shelley's house and have so much fun… etc." So stinkin cute. We need to plan an evening.

Courtana says
Love it, but have a question: how do you keep the mirror in the frame, are the metal tabs enough to keep in it place???
Thanks!
Niki says
Very cute! I'm with you on the "5," though. Maybe it's because the curve of the 5 resembles a fish?
Ana @ A Touch of Sweetness says
