Vinyl Help!!

[hpcurling]

I am seeing many papercrafters referring to vinyl to use in scrapbooking, card making and home decor. I have a Cricut Expressions so I am ready to go, but just not sure about what vinyl? where to get vinyl, and will it clling to walls with the sightly rough finish (orange peel finish). I am sure there are many experienced crafters who can help me. So, Thank You in advance for any help youl can give me. Have a great day!!!! hpcurling

I found the vinyl at A. C. Moore it's called "cuttables" by Provocraft it was $9.99 for a package of 2 12x24 sheets.

Some Lowes also have a brand called wall pops. I comes in many colors and some prints. If you have a lowes by you, you can type in you zip code and then shop that store on line to see if they carry it. It is in the wall paper section.

Do the two things mentioned already have adhesive on the back?
I have a wishblade and would love to be able to cut some things for the walls on it!

[maryjo2]

yes, the wall pops do.

I hadn't heard of wishblade until you mentioned it. I don't how that works.

All of the vinyl I purchase already has an adhesive on the back of it.

A word of warning, you want a low-tac adhesive--ie removeable if you plan on doing anything on the walls. You don't want to ruin your paint/drywall.

As far as an orange peel texture? I think it depends on the vinyl you use. I know one brand of vinyl that is removeable and will stick on porous surfaces. However--it comes in 36" wide rolls. (Too big for a Wishblade by far).

Hope that helps!

Quickutz has also come out with rolls of adhesive-backed vinyl for use in their Silhoeutte.

How many pieces of the Wall Pops do you get in a package? I see the Wall Pops "Black Jack Blox" is 13" x 13".. but how many do you get?

Thanks!

I see that Kim has a self adhesive vinyl for only $2 a sheet... it's 12 x 24. That's much easier to accidentally waste.
