No Soliciting Sign! First Vinyl Project!

I have been wanting to make a no soliciting sign for a long time. I found lots of funny ones that I thought about doing but I really wanted to just get one made and on my door before anyone else rang my doorbell! This is the first time I used vinyl that I can remember. It was hard to get the letters straight and I did it without transfer tape. 



I used black cardstock and cut the design out from Twinkle Toes Cricut Cartridge
No Soliciting letters are from Plantin School book
The Salesman and the No sign are from going places.
White and red vinyl

 I then laminated it add some think hemp cord and hung it on my front door:
I think it is perfect!

    You did a great job on your first vinyl project! A hint: If you draw a pencil line for the placement of the letters, erase it off with a white art eraser-won't pill or fade the black cardstock. Test it on a piece of scrap or a corner first for some peace of mind!
