Personalized Vinyl Decals for Halloween


With the kids back in school, and the cooler temperatures outside, who isn't ready to decorate for Halloween.  It is one of my favorite times of year, mostly for the decorations!


You can purchase these personalized, vinyl cutouts in our store at www.TinTreeGifts.com and apply to any festive decorations.  In this tutorial, I applied them to craft pumpkins purchased from Hobby Lobby, but they can be placed anywhere.  A cute addition to a front door or mailbox, or maybe inside on a plastic plate for display or a framed piece of glass.

You will receive your vinyl on a piece of craft tape in order to apply it to you decoration.  In addition, you will need a pair of scissors, a credit card, and your decoration.

First, take out your vinyl and rub the credit card on top of it.  This will ensure that the vinyl sticks to thetop sheet, so you can remove the backing and apply to the pumpkin.  Cut out the shapes in order to arrange them on the pumpkin.
Begin to peal the back layer off, leaving the vinyl onto the top pice of tape.  You will need to do this carefully, and may need to stop and repress the vinyl onto the top.  When the bottom sheet is removed, place it onto the pumpkin (or whatever decoration you are using).  Using the credit card, rub it gently onto the pumpkin.  Once it is all stuck, begin to peel the top layer of carefully.  You may need to go back over the vinyl with the credit card once you remove the top sheet.
Next, apply to remaining vinyl peices and repeat the steps above.  When you are finished, be sure to share your projects with us!

Welcome to Tin Tree Gifts blog!!  A place to share our products, customer photos and, hopefully, to help answer questions that come up. 

First we want to introduce ourselves.  My husband, Chad and I started this business in 2011, selling personalized plates.   I love to design cute plates that my kids and their friends like to eat off of.  From there, we started to sell platters and other housewares, quickly adding cell phone cases and tech accessories. 


We work out of our home, with our three, very busy children running around.  They love to help, and you can see that with the croocked shipping labels they place or even the beautiful designs my daughter comes up with.
   Our daughter, Gwendolyn, is 6 years old and our twin boys, Alex and Aiden are 3.  (I'm sure you have seen those names on a plate or two).

 I can honestly say, that I can't find a better family picture that is recent!!  How embarrassing, we will for sure be scheduling a photo session so I can get a better pick of these three! 

I am excited to share with you more about us and how we use our products in our life.  We would love for our customers to do the same!  Email me at ingrid@tintreegifts.com to share your photos!!
