Using thin sheets of vinyl has been in the graphic sign making industry for years!
It’s only been recently that savvy artists and entrepreneurs have introduced this “magical medium” into our daily lives…to use in our homes and offices where we live and work!

Time out for a very quick science lesson….What is vinyl? Vinyl is short for polyvinyl chloride or (PCV). Yes – the same PVC we hear about that is used for thousands of uses from electrical insulation, construction materials, rain jackets, hospital equipment, containers, and the PVC tubes that carry our water supply (and so much more!). It’s a safe, fire resistant, material that is made from very simple ingredients! Natural gas (or sometimes a form of petroleum) and common chloride derived from natural salt and water. In fact the main ingredient is the chloride made from salt and water – not petroleum or natural gas! Vinyl is manufactured using far less energy than other materials and is completely recyclable! |
Vinyl Wall Art...is a great choice for wall decor!
For our enjoyment as wall art, vinyl is manufactured as a very thin material, normally with a light adhesive on one side, and can be colored or tinted into any color of the rainbow!
For wall art applications, it is only about the thickness of two coats of paint! In fact, after it’s applied to your wall (or to signs, windows, cars, etc) it looks like a professional painter took hours to expertly paint the art on your wall by hand (with no mistakes!).
It’s strong, flexible, and so easy to work with!
The vinyl is available in large rolls and then cut out with a computerized cutter. It can also be die cut with stamps, or printed on like other photo quality materials such as paper or canvas.
This is a great solution for all of us and especially for renters who do not want to leave any marks or damage wall surfaces!
(Plus you can take it with you when you move!)
The most popular vinyl used for any art or photo application is removable adhesive vinyl.
It will not tear or rip, it can be applied to the wall (or other surface), re-positioned or removed, and it will not leave any residue on the surface when applied!
Vinyl letters, vinyl quotes, vinyl words….and more!
How long do you suppose it would take to professionally paint this 22” wide quote on your wall? …and how much would they charge?
After some research, I've discovered that by using vinyl, this same result can be on our walls in less than 30 minutes for around $30.00 - nice!
Words, symbols, and reminders…we have so many choices of vinyl wall art encouragements available to us today…famous sayings, life quotes, scriptures, and other sources.
I think the best choice for wall words is to custom order. Choosing those words that mean the most to us – those words that speak into our lives or remind us of favorite people and events!
While researching I found this great online company, RightOnTheWalls, and have learned they will custom order what we want and help us throughout the entire process…from ordering to application! …and it's made in the USA!

Isn’t this a powerful presentation for a kids room? Wow!

Impressive! can do this for you! |
