    I've just posted a tutorial on the blog with instructions on how to use your favourite digital elements to create removable vinyl wall decals for your home!

    https://the-lilypad.com/vinyl-wall-art/


    I thought it would be useful to link here and for us all to share our fave tips and tricks on working with vinyl in hybrid projects.

    Have you made any cool vinyl projects recently that you'd like to share?

    How fun Juliette! I love both of your examples! I haven't tried this yet. I do have a Silhouette, so I'm one step in the right direction.

    oh wow, that is so awesome!! Now I am wishing I had a Silhouette, I could have a lot of fun making those for each season or my office at work.

    I think, without a silhouette you could print designs to print paper and trace the design to the paper backing on your vinyl... It would mean hand cutting, but that brings a whole level of loveliness to a DIY project :)

    What a cool project Juliette. I'm ashamed to say that my Silhouette is still in its original packaging more than 2 years since I bought it. Yikes!

    Great project, Juliette! I love using my Cameo for vinyl projects. I've done several wall art pieces and many car window decals for my kids young friends lol I did some for my white board at work, too. I've probably used my Cameo for vinyl more than anything else.

    Heather! You need to liberate that magic cutting machine and get it on your desk - it's such a cool piece of kit!

    Jan, sounds like I'm going that way too. I LOVE playing with Vinyl. I love the flexibility of vinyl wall art :D
