Gift Idea

2011-07-18T15:03:00.000-07:00

I needed a cute gift for my daughters friend. We decided some cute jewelry would be just the perect gift so I used an 8"x12" board to creat this cute necklace/jewelry hanger for her.

We wrapped some cute necklaces to hang from it for an adorable gift.

Do you have an idea for a gift you would like to creat for someone?

We can help you make almost any custom lettering or sign. Just send us an email!

Here comes summer

2011-05-05T06:55:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture from a customer who created a beautiful canvas subway art for her beach home using our vinyl lettering.

She first painted her canvas white then applied the lettering. Next she painted over the entire canvas including the lettering. Lastly she removed the vinyl to reveal the white part of the canvas.

She did note that the
vinyl had a hard time
adhering to the canvas.

This same look can be recreated by using a thin wood board , you can follow the same painting process or you can simply paint your board your desired color and then apply the lettering. The same overall look will result.

Please email us if you would like to create a similar project. We would be happy to give you samples and a quote.

Something New

2011-03-01T11:41:00.000-08:00

Every year I try to create a new gift for special occasions. So this year I came up with this sign for a Baby shower gift. The first baby shower of the year for me was for a friend who was having a second baby and another boy. So I created a "Brothers" sign. I still need to come up with a sisters, baby girl, and baby boy version for other showers but I thought i would share this one first to get your gift ideas flowing. I added each of the brothers names on the sign to personalize it .

This item is not on the website yet but you can shoot me an email if you would like me to create one for you.

Spice up your dinner party

2009-03-05T10:30:00.000-08:00

Here is a fun idea i used a while back for a dinner party for friends. I purchased some funky new glasses and added each guests name in a fun font to each glass. The glass served as a pace marker and at the end of the party I wrapped up each couples glasses in a box as a party favor. An easy way to WOW your guests.

** This would also make a great wedding gift**

To order custom vinyl lettering please vistit our website at www.awishfulthought.com and email us via the contact page. We will assist you in getting just what you want.

A fun idea

2009-01-01T17:33:00.000-08:00

Having a party?? want to remind your kids to wipe their feet? Or just want a unique way to personalize your home or even your office. How about some lettering on the floor?? Yes you heard me right lettering on the floor. Just to show you how fun it can be we put this Merry Christmas lettering on our entry way floor for Christmas dinner. After 47 people came and went (yep that is how many guests we had) and 1week of family foot traffic it has held up great!!

Other ideas:
