DIY Vinyl Tree Decals


Last week I shared these tree decals on my pinterest wishlist, and later saw some DIY tutorials of people using blackboard vinyl stickers to make their own decals. I decided to give it a go with some blackboard sticker I had leftover from a project ages ago.

1. Bedroom before.
2. I made a template and used this to draw tree onto the sticker.
3. I spent ages cutting them all out.
4. I used tape to arrange them on the wall. These also doubled as markers for where each tree went while I was peeling off the backing paper. I stuck each tree onto some fabric and then pulled it off to make it slightly less tacky so they come off when they need to be removed.
5/6. Bedroom after.

I made 36 decals to cover this space, it used around 60x40cm of blackboard sticker. It probably took a couple of hours all up; the tracing, cutting, arranging and sticking. I'd also read up on how removable the stickers were first, and did a test in a hidden patch of wall in the wardrobe which lifted off really easily.
