SticViews Product Review: Removable Vinyl
I was given a fun opportunity to spruce up my front door with a sponsor of mine: SticViews. I was instructed to create anything I wanted using their incredible resources. SticViews creates custom art in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. They can create your design on reusable vinyl to be used for so many applications: laptop skins, wall art, car graphics, posters, stickers, window clings and more {and not to worry, if you need help coming up with what SticViews can do for you, they’ve offered a gallery of different uses for their versatile product}.
I live in a condo where everyone has the same front door {and you know how little I appreciate blending in with others}. I do, at least, have a great entrance to my place from outside in addition to the door in the hallway. I used the clear vinyl from SticView to customize the window on my front door.
Here’s the Before
Here’s what I did
I laid out a custom design in Illustrator {pen tool to create a small piece of the background, then repeated it using the “transform effect”}. If you don’t know how to create your own patterns you can choose from SticViews’ extensive image library.
I uploaded the high-res JPG to the SticViews website with the dimensions of the door glass. I received the final artwork about a week and a half later; my design on a roll of perfectly cut clear vinyl, instructions, an installation kit, and samples of other fun products.
Here’s the after
Now I can stand out above the rest in my little condo, and spruce up my little patio. This window cling gives a welcome mat feel, like a greeting when you come to my home and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I can easily remove and even keep and reuse the vinyl when we move, which makes this a great project for apartment living as well.
My transaction with SticViews was seamless, and install was a cinch. I’d love to use this product again on a super slick desktop or with a white board for my office.

Looks great!
OH! I have to do this brooke! Love it. Do you think it would look neat on my slider door? Love.
@Brooke – Slider door – genius! That would be so cool… and now that I’m in baby mode – that’d be a cool way to do a growth chart using a vinyl cling of a flower with leaves at each foot, or otherwise… wheels spinning…

This is perfect. I have been looking for a great way to advertise my business on my car…this site is much easier to navigate then others I’ve looked at…great price too.
As a renter, I also like the idea of some wall decoration. Thanks!
Looks great!
I’ll have to explore the “transform” tool in Illustrator to create patterns. Thanks for the tip!
love this! and ditto to what Whitney said. :) I’m still trying to figure out this whole Illustrator world…
@ohbrooke What a great idea to use as a growth chart! I just got engaged so I don’t have any little ones yet but I am putting this in my inspiration binder! I love that it can be removed in case you move and then you won’t loose those precious memories of your little one growing.
{It’s great also in case of resale… no murals to paint over or marks on the wall etc.!}
it is very lovely. as always, you choice for colors is spot on :)
how are you feeling? are you getting nervous about your big day??? i am always super excited and never nervous – that is, until the last possible second when my due date arrives and i finally realize, “oh my gravy… i have to actually push this baby out!!!”
oh how cute would it be on a magnet board!?!! If you used it on a white board would you be able to write over the top of it and erase also?
@Susan – I did start getting a little nervous yesterday. I think I need to put on some “Queen” and pump myself up! I can do this! {yikes!}
@Rebecca – Yes, magnet board – SO cute. I have a big piece of sheet metal hanging in my office- a calendar grid or something like that would be GREAT on it. Awesome idea!
Absolutely beautiful! I like how the blinds provide a white background for the graphic but when the blinds are up, you can still see through the glass. Love you and your brilliant ideas!
VERY cool! Great way to make your door stand out! Love the design you created :)
oh the uses are endless!! this is fabulous!
How awesome! Yours turned out so lovely!
