You know those super nice vinyl word transfer that you see for the home? They always look hand painted and fancy... Well we saw one at Michael's Arts and Crafts for Emersyn's room. It was just all white and said "Such a big miracle in such a little girl". We loved it and thought it was a pretty good deal for only $25 considering what we've seen some go for... So we were putting it in the big, middle pink stripe centered over her crib. We plan on getting the block letters to do her name higher up on the wall over the crip and the quote. I was soooo excited to get the vinyl words up... until Chris started to do it.
First off, the words are totally crooked on the sheet. So, you have to level the wording on the sheet before you can even try to get the placement of the sheet on the wall. Then, you have readjust about 27 million times because each word is so crooked and the sheets keep slipping and the painters tape you have to use isn't holding the transfer very well. When you finally get to start rubbing to actually transfer the quote onto the wall, you have to check it every other second to make sure the letters are actully transferring off the sheet onto the wall instead of a piece of a letter sticking to the backing. Oh, and after hours of fighting with this thing, the words turn out to be two totally different shades of white-ish grey-ish silver-ish that not only looks like smog but also ensures that half the words can't be seen on the wall except when the light hits them just right...
Stupid vinyl transfer crap!!!
