Make Vinyl Decals Stick to Textured Walls
Vinyl decals offer an alternative to photos and posters. Unlike other art items, you can place vinyl decals anywhere without worrying about finding a stud or making holes in the walls. Though the pre-cut commercial version is more expensive, you can make homemade decals for less than $10. One drawback to this kind of art is that wall decals don't usually stick to textured walls, like stucco or painted cinder block. With a little ingenuity, you can make original art stick to any wall.

The mixture of mud and straw is essentially the same, but making adobe bricks requires months of time before construction even begins. With cob, once you have a suitable mud-straw recipe building can start. Learn the technique and test your cob mixture’s strength with a practice wall. Does this Spark an idea?
Start a Vinyl Wall Lettering Business
Vinyl wall lettering can be difficult to create, providing an opening for many crafters to start a business creating customized vinyl decor for customers who would like them in their home.
