Move-able Vinyl

Hey Friends! So sorry it has taken me forev to get up the project this week! I have still been on vacation mode after being in Bear Lake, UT this past week! Please forgive ;).
But do you guys remember the vinyl I got HERE?

Well the thought came to me the other day when I was about to adhere them to the wall that...

"I won't be able to take these with use whenever it is we move, and what if I don't like them there and want to rearrange them?"

DING!! What if I put them on some something that I can later take them with us, or rearrange them! I came up with putting them on painted cardboard!!

Here is how they turned out!!

{This green photographed super funky! Its actually the color of the sidebars on my blog in real life!}

{ I LOVE how these turned out! They really make the vinyl pop, and I can move them where ever and whenever I want!}

Want to make your own?

Here is what you need:

~Vinyl
~Cardboard (You could also use a flat canvas, but hey cardboard is free at my house so I went with that!)
~Paint of your choosing
~Scissors
~Exact-o-knife
~Primer
~High gloss poly (This is optional but I really love glossy finishes!)

How it's done:

1. Measure the size of your vinyl from the largest width, and the highest height.


2. Cut out your predetermined measurements.


3. If your cardboard is a brown color it will need to be primed before your paint. I use Kilz Primer its the best, it will adhere to pretty much anything under the sun!


4. After allowing the primer to dry apply as many coats as desired of paint as desired.

{Funny thing is that I put the yellow cardboard sheet outside to let it dry...well it was SO hot that it cracked the paint as it dried!}

{Thank goodness it turned out so good! It adds texture to the piece which adds visual interest, BONUS!}

5. After allowing the coats of paint to dry apply clear gloss poly this step is OPTIONAL, if you don't like gloss don't do it, or use a satin finish.


6. Apply your vinyl to the cardboard.

7. If you like the look of the clock cardboard piece I used an exact-o-knife to create a cut-out outline around the vinyl clock.


8. Hang and ENJOY!!

{The clock is on the back door of our kitchen.}

So what do you guys think? I love how this turned out, like I mentioned it really makes the vinyl pop since well I live in an apartment it adds much needed COLOR!! This project is so super easy, if you have any questions about this project or just for fun please let me know, I am always happy to help! Thanks for stopping by guys! Hope that you have a great day!! Love, love.
