Vinyl wall quotes and wall art can be expensive so I figured out how to make some of my own with just contact paper. I was looking at Ebay the other day and saw that you can get vinyl fairly inexpensive now according where you get it from. It doesn't have to be Cricut or Provocraft brand. All of the ones below were made using painted contact paper.
One day I was looking around on the Hobby Lobby website and came across some framed letters that are like the photo above. It inspired me to make my own vinyl wall art/quote....spelling "Dream". Below is the photo of my finished vinyl wall art/quote. What do you think?

Here are some more vinyl wall quotes I've done:
This one is in my little boys room that I made using the Cricut Create die cut machine.
This one is in my living room and I made this one using the Cricut.
You can make your own vinyl wall quotes/art. There are two different ways I've made them but instead of purchasing special vinyl, I just used spray painted contact paper to make all of these. Contact paper doesn't have to be just for lining shelves :) Here are links to both ways:

I love the vinyl wall art and vinyl wall quotes. They really make a bold statement on a plain wall and can change the entire look of a room. Here are some that really inspire me:
You can click on the links to see all the beautiful quotes out there available... They tend to be expensive but
sometimes you can find a bargain. I actually made my own and they turned out quite nice. If you would rather try and make your own, I have two

If you don't mind DIY projects... You can make this pretty paper rose wreath. It's inexpensive to make yet very, very pretty! You can even use paper you were saving to recycle or pages out of a large book that you don't want. Just click on the tutorial and then come back and read the finishing instructions:
Once you've made several roses, cut a big heart out of cardboard (the size you prefer) and then glue the roses all around the heart shape starting on the outside working in. After you have the heart covered with roses, cut out some ribbon and glue it to the back of the heart shape. Then tie a bow and hang it up!

Decorative plate arrangements on the walls are just beautiful but you want to be sure they are anchored to the wall correctly. Plate hangers are not expensive but when you have to have more than a few it can add up. I thought I would share this
DIY Plate Hanger Tutorial I found at Meet Virginia on how to make your own plate hangers.

Look at this I found at
LuLu's. I think this is amazing!! Plates are no longer just for eating dinner on.. You could find a ton of pretty and interesting plates at any thrift store. Using plates as wall decor is popular these days and a group of plates on a wall really makes a statement in a room. I think it's a fantastic way to re-purpose plates. For tons more ideas go to:
