The Writing on My Office Wall

Thursday December 4, 2008
Check out this picture of my office wall. My daughter made these letters for me using a Cricut Expressions machine and black vinyl adhesive (Compare Prices). Don't they look great? I bought my roll of vinyl adhesive at my favorite craft store quite awhile ago, I wasn't quite sure what to make with it until we went away for a weekend of crafting and quilting and the camp we went to had a Cricut Expression machine. You feed the vinyl through the machine just as you would paper. To apply it to the wall, all I had to do was peel off the paper backing and rub in place. The vinyl reminded me somewhat of contact paper, but I am guessing the adhesive is probably much stronger. Now I have another job for Katie and her Cricut machine... I recently purchased a roll of magnet material made especially for the Cricut (Compare Prices)! What would you make with it?
