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.

Recycle Old Picture Frames Into Unique Home Decor
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.

Vinyl Crafts Make Great Gifts for Teachers
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:
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 4x4" 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 4x4).
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.
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)

Unique Craft Projects Using Vinyl Lettering
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.
If you'd like to create one of these beautiful frames, you can get step by step instructions at U Create, located here.

Spruce Up Your Kids Room With a Fun Vinyl Monogram
One of the hardest rooms to decorate is a childs room, especially if you're renting, and cannot paint. However, with one simple step you can transform a plain children's room into a fun, fantastic wonderland that your children will love using vinyl lettering. Kids love to see their name, so why not give them a fun kids monogram that they'll love. Not only will it make the room come alive, but the kids will love it, and with wall lettering it's inexpensive and simple to do, without the need to paint. Monograms made of vinyl letters, are great for those renting, or who do not want to paint, because they're simple to install, and are just easy to remove when you'd like to take them down, and they won't damage your painted walls.
Kids monograms can be done in a traditional fashion, or in a fun and frilly style to match your childs personality. If your child is into princesses, then use a fun princess type font. If your child is into pirates, then use a pirate style font, such as Caribbean, or Pirates 1. Also, you can make them two tone, like the one shown here. The bottom line is that, with a little creativity, you can create a fun wall words monogram for your child's room without spending a lot of time or money on it.

Custom Monograms Breathe Life Into Walls
One thing people ask us about on a consistent basis is whether or not we can do custom monograms using vinyl lettering. Vinyl wall lettering monograms can add a lot of beauty to any room in your home. If you're not familiar with what a monogram is, amonogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining one or more letters form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos. A series of uncombined initials is properly referred to as a cypher and is not a monogram, although ciphers are frequently referred to as monograms. An individual's monogram is often a very fancy piece of art for adorning luggage, clothing, and so forth. Monograms of the names of monarchs are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges.
However, monograms, in the sense that we refer to them, are letters, that generally represent someone's initials, specifically in regard to their last name. We have made custom monograms for people to cover a wide variety of uses, including installing vinyl letters monograms on:
While these are the traditional uses of monograms made from custom vinyl letters (sometimes referred to as wall words), there are literally hundreds of ways you could use a monogram to decorate your home, adding a touch of style, class, and personality to anything you do. We have even made monogram stencils that people can use to etch their pyrex glassware.

Family Values Reflected In Home Decor
I remember as a kid growing up watching the TV Show "Leave It to Beaver" on Nick at Night. What a great show, especially in contrast to all the garbage on television now days. It seems as if the "good old family values" we knew and loved back then have gone the way of the birds, but there are those of us who still hold true to the values of the past, and what better way to showcase our love of life and family than a great entry way quote.
Now, highlighting your families commitment to values such as love, friendship, and religion is easier than ever with vinyl lettering from Wall Stamps. We have a great selection (such as the item pictured here) of wall words quotes that highlight religious, family, or friendship quotes.
If you're interested in a great selection of wall lettering quotes, Wall Stamps offers two great ways to shop for your vinyl wall lettering: by theme, or by room.
