What’s the Big Deal About Wall Letters?

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Are you wondering about wall letters? One of the most unique gifts you will come across this year is that of the wall decal. The idea of the wall decal is that a homeowner or apartment dweller can decorate his or her walls without the need for heavy maintenance. This is especially effective for children who enjoy decorating their walls and re-decorating within a short amount of time.

We often associate decals with car decorating but recently, decals have gained wide acceptance in home decorating. Its easy application and water-proof material have made vinyl-based decals a big part of the do-it-yourself home & decorating industry. Several types of decal designs are available but one of the most striking product lines is the wall letters.

Decorating childrens rooms with vinyl-based wall decals and wall lettering are in vogue today. This is because parents and children demand increased speed and creativity. Devoting a whole weekend to painting a wall mural or spraying glue and installing wall-to-wallpaper have now become impractical, when they were once the only option.

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Are you hosting a Baby Shower for some special parent’s-to-be? If so, here are some quick and cute ideas to create baby shower displays for the event:

Diaper Cake The diaper cake is one of the most well-known and easiest baby shower displays you can create for the centerpiece. The diaper cake is created by using a bag of disposable diapers and wrapping them with ribbon into a circle “cake” shape. Making a set of three different size “cakes” with the diapers, you then stack them one on top of each other with the largest on the bottom to the smallest on top. This makes it look like a big layer cake, almost like a wedding cake. Once the layers are put together, add small baby items like diaper ointments, powder, pacifiers, and toys. Then add a “cake topper” like a small teddy bear or rubber ducky on the top. Balloons can be added to give the cake height and then it is placed in the middle of the gift table so guests can enjoy it. The parents take it home with them at the end of the baby shower to enjoy the gifts and the diapers once baby arrives.
