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:
Love it! I need one of these!! I get someone coming by at least once a week, drives me batty! Especially when they come on days I finally manage to get the twins to nap! arggggh!!!
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!
This is a SUPER idea Carri, I so need to make one of these!! I love the little image you used of the guy!! Thanks for joining FCCB's Cricut Vinyl Challenge this week!
Great project! I think you did really well for your first time using vinyl. You did great getting those letters so straight without using transfer tape! Thanks for joining the vinyl challenge at FCCB!
