Decorating with vinyl

So for ages I have wanted to paint my fridge… and freezer… and washing machine, dishwasher, tiles, doors etc etc etc but I had to stop my plans because of A)lack of funds and B)the fact that we don’t actually OWN this flat and our landlady might not like it.
So I looked to other ways for decorating and came across a lot of vinyl decal inspiration and was soon on etsy.com finding something right for us…
I looked at plants, trees, patterns and lots of animals but I wanted something a bit different- especially for the kitchen. Then I saw the perfect thing for our fridge and freezer:

And this is how we did it… well Stephen did it- I took pictures and said ‘wow’ a lot.

First place the sticker and tape in place…
Then take off the backing (bottom) layer… 

NB- You may need to manipulate the vinyl to stick to the top layer, Stephen was very good at this as he has longer nails than me!

Use something hard but gentle to rub onto the surface (we used a pencil)
Then peel off the top layer…
Hobbes didn’t know what to make of them!!
They look AMAZING! So happy!

I loved doing this and did one myself that the lovely seller sent with the cutlery.

I’ve now got the bug (get it… ladybird…bug…hahahha!)- I want something big for the sitting room, colourful for the bathroom and I love the idea of stickering the white tiles in the kitchen too.

Stick it to em!

PS-This week we have been DIY crazy and the flat is starting to look very different- I’ll tell you all about it when you’re older…well a few days older!
