Vinyl lettering is a great way to decorate your house. It makes any project look professional and customized. This project is super easy!

 

 

What you need:

  • 18″x10″ board (we suggest one with a routed edge)
  • Ribbon
  • Family Together is our favorite place to be Vinyl Lettering

How to’s:

  • Paint the board.
  • Sand the edges to give it an aged look.
  • Drill holes on the top edges of the board. Thread the ribbon through the holes. Be sure to knot the ribbon so it will not slip through the board.
  • Apply the “family” vinyl to the center of the board.
  • Apply the “together is our favorite place to be” vinyl to the lower right corner of the board.

And with that your project is complete! You can spray the board with matte or shiny acrylic spray. If you do that, make the ribbon the last step. If you have never used vinyl lettering, here is a little how to for using lettering:

Installation

  • Clean and dry area. (not necessary if you have just painted the area you are applying to)
  • Mark the area where you want to apply the vinyl.
  • Gently peel the tape away from the paper. Be sure that the vinyl is attaching to the tape.
  • Apply the tape with vinyl to the area you have prepared.
  • Secure the vinyl by rubbing gently using a firm object (credit card or popsicle stick).
  • Peel the tape away from the area making sure the vinyl is secured in the area you want it.

*When peeling the tape, the most effective way is to dit at an angle, moving slowly.

Removal

  • Apply a little heat to the vinyl using a hair dryer.
  • Gently peel the vinyl away from the area.
