What is vinyl lettering? TOP
Vinyl lettering is vinyl that is cut into letters and can be
applied directly to your wall. It can
adhere to almost any smooth surface.
Vinyl lettering is very easy to apply and can be removed when you would
like it to be. All you need to do is
take a blow dryer and heat it up for a minute and it should peel right
off. There are different kinds of vinyl-
for the inside of your home we use a
non-permanent adhesive vinyl that can be removed. If you would like vinyl for a car or a yard
sign- we would use a more tacky vinyl.
Where can I apply my lettering? TOP
Our lettering can be applied to any smooth to med- smooth
surface. It is great for walls, mirrors,
windows, front doors, glass, refrigerators, lockers, cars, windows, shelves,
books, scrapbooks, etc… You can be
creative! If you are not sure if the

Installation
Instructions
Tools you will need:
1. Masking Tape
2. Straightedge or Level
3. Pencil and Eraser
4. Scissors
5. Applicator Tool
( a spatula or Pampered Chef scraper work great-
or something like a credit card)
1. Your lettering
is made up of 3 layers. The first is
called the transfer tape, the second is the letters and the last is the backing
paper.
2. For ease of application, this first step is
important. With the lettering on a
smooth surface (facing up and so that you can read it normally) take the
applicator and rub it with moderate force across the lettering several
times. Rub it diagonally in both
directions. You can not rub too much!
3. Choose a clean
place to put the words and tape it (with masking tape) to that area. This will create a “hinge” for your
words. Make sure you tape it so that you
can read it correctly through the transfer tape. Tape it on the wall straight (remember that the transfer tape might not
be cut straight- make sure the WORDS are straight)
When you have it
all taped to the wall – go ahead and take your applicator and rub them a little
more.
4. Flip up the
letters up using the tape as a hinge and you will see the back of the 3rd
layer. Slowly peel off that layer while
holding the top layer up and the words should stay stuck to the transfer paper
(1st layer) When the 3rd layer is completely off, slowly
flip down the transfer tape and the words should then be smoothly touching the
wall. Take your applicator and rub, rub,
rub again. The slowly peel off the
transfer tape and the words should remain on the wall.
THE WORDS ARE NOT
REPOSITIONABLE – BE CAREFUL DOING THESE STEPS, IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE FOLD IN THE
LETTERS CAREFULLY PICK IT OUT AND THEN SMOOTH IT DOWN AGAIN.
** to remove your
letters simply heat them up a little with a blow dryer and peel off slowly.
What happens if I mess it up? TOP
If you mess up your letters when you are applying them- do
not worry- just go ahead and apply the rest- peel off the letters that you
messed up and we will ship you out a new letter.
