I had an idea a few years ago to put vinyl lettering on some clear bulbs for my tree. It was a great idea except that the brown vinyl I chose didn't show up very well against the dark green tree. So I thought about about it and came up with this. I hang them from the garland above my windows and then you can read them because they are against a lighter background. I love it! It is one of my favorite decorations to put up.
My neighbor was nice enough to let me use her machine to cut the vinyl. I picked words that reminded me of Christmas. I have 3 windows so there are 18 bulbs total.
I wish this picture showed how it really looks in real life. The simplicity is so pretty and you can read them easily. I know the picture doesn't make it seem that way. Somedays I wish I were a better photographer. I guess I should say that I wish I had the TIME to LEARN to be a better photographer :) One day. . .
I hope you all are ready for Christmas. Because ready or not, it's a comin'!!!
P.S. Come back tomorrow for my linky party!!! I want to see what you have been up to :)
Wow, You have an amazing blog!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute idea do you read them from the outside or the inside? I was just curious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea, I have several ornaments that just don't show up too. You have given me something to think about!
ReplyDeleteI put the vinyl on the outside of the bulb. They are in my family room.
