Remember when I reviewed SticViews and made my front door window cling?

Well they are giving away window art to two winners – upload the crummy view from your window that you’d like to cover up and you could win! Details here: www.sticviews.com/deals/contest.aspx.

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.
