Willow Creek Signs was started four years ago by two Military wives who were looking for something to do while their husbands were away. What started as a hobby, turned into a shop featuring over 400 designs to cover every corner of your home.
A few weeks ago, Willow Creek sent us one of their Music Lyric Staff vinyls  [pictured above] to try out in our new home.  It came Priority Mail, much like the other vinyls I have previously ordered, rolled into a tube.  There was a thorough instructions sheet included in the packaging, with customer service contacts printed clearly on them.
After unwrapping the vinyl, I began to look for a proper placement on the wall; it turns out that the original spot I had scouted out for them didn’t quite work.¬† So instead, we opted to cut the vinyl in half, and span it across the wall.¬† After prepping the vinyl, my husband and I peeled it off and got ready to lay it in it’s permanent position.
NOTE: Due to the size and intricate design of this particular vinyl, this was a two person job.  One of us peeled while the other one held down the backing paper.
Once up on the wall, we noticed that it wasn’t sticking as easily as the vinyls we have worked with before.¬† We had to rub the vinyl down on the wall several times to get it to stick, overall turning what I thought was going to be a 20 minute job into an hour LOL.
And of course, the picture of the final project.
Overall, this was a success.¬† The vinyl was just as beautiful as it was online, however a little challenging to work with.¬† I do not attribute any of our difficulties to the shop [they are fabulous!] I would just advise anyone working with a large vinyl with small details to have patience LOL.¬† Then again, they do say that good things come to those who wait…in this case, they were right.
