Designed Beginnings Wall Decals: Review and Giveaway

Designed Beginnings Logo

I was contacted by the sweet Ragan of Designed Beginnings wall decals to see if I’d like to host a giveaway on my blog. I love wall decals and how versatile they are so I said that I’d love to! Ragan has so many different varieties and styles of wall decals in her shop. From kids decals to decals from the home to super cute growth charts, which is what I ended up getting to review. I decided that I wanted to try something different with a wall decal and this was the perfect opportunity to see how it would go and what the end result would be! 

I got THIS wall decal in black. Ragan knew that what I planned on doing what taking a 1×6 piece of wood, stain it and then apply the wall decal to the top of the wood so she even offered to print the vinyl without any borders since I was applying it to wood and she made it exactly the height and width I needed it, which was super nice and convenient!

My husband was so sweet and went and got me a great piece of wood and even stained it for me (since I’m pregnant). He’s such an awesome guy. ;)

After the few days it took to put a couple of coats on the board and let it dry, it was time to place the decal. The wall decal came on one big sheet and all I had to do was cut the two pieces off of the sheet and then place them on the board. It was a bit of a challenge to line up the vinyls on the board – just because I had a small width to work with and I didn’t want the decal to be crooked, etc., but thankfully the decal was super easy to remove from the paper that it was on and there were arrows on the two pieces that helped me line up the numbers, etc. I know that it would be even easier to adhere the decal to the wall, like it’s originally meant for.

This is how my “ruler” turned out:

ruler1

ruler2

ruler3

I love how smooth and easy the decal went onto my board and the end result is super cute! I’m going to be hanging this in our homeschool room! :) Now if you want to use one of these wall decal growth charts or create one like I did on wood, make sure you account for the baseboard height if you have some OR you could just as easily cut off a bottom piece of the board once you have it finished to account for the baseboard. I figured I’d use mine as more of a decorative element in our homeschool room, but the options are endless! :)
