One of the best product inspirations we’ve seen! Lexi Vornberg has taken ProDPI Fabric Wall Clings and designed a custom sign for her studio. Check out these amazing images and read all about how she did it. Get inspired!
When I first started looking into purchasing a sign for my studio I knew right away that I wanted something with a little character to it, like an old table you would find at a flea market, and I knew I wanted it to have my exact logo, font and color. After looking at about 2 dozen places I found that I either had to give in and have a sign that did not match my exact logo or spend hundreds of dollars on a custom sign that still really wouldn’t match what I was looking for. At that point I knew I wasn’t going to find what I wanted and that I would have to do a little DIY.
First I had to find a way to be able to transfer my exact logo to a piece of wood. After visiting ProDPI’s booth at WPPI back in February I remembered their wall clings which can be printed out with anything on them and stick to almost any surface. It was perfect. I ordered a 20×30 wall cling with three of my logos sized 10×20 on it, in case I needed a few back ups. Once it arrived I took the wall cling to Kinkos and cut the three pieces out so I had three 10×20 wall clings. I had already purchased a piece of wood from Home Depot sized 10×20 and enough side molding to fit around it. I just picked the cheapest wood since my logo would be covering it. I then had some help cutting the molding at an angle so it nicely fit around my sign and painted the molding and the wood white. After 2 coats were applied and it dried over night I nailed and glued the molding around the sign and let it dry. I then added my cut out 10×20 wall cling to the sign and painted over it with clear sealant to make it waterproof. After it dry it was completed. Total I spent less then 45.00 on the perfect custom sign that not only had character but also matched my branding perfectly. And I still have 2 more wall clings to make 2 more signs if I needed to.
A huge THANK YOU to Lexi Vornberg for sharing her inspiration with us!

GENIUS! I was just today looking into signs for an upcoming event where I’ll be a vendor. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this idea!! I was also thinking about event signs. This is perfect!
What a neat idea!! I wonder if these wall clings would work just as well on wooden frames?
Stella,
Hmm. What exactly are you picturing? The wood would probably need to be sealed with some sort of paint or protective coat before applying the wall cling. -So that is sticks. Lexi painted the wood white for her sign. Hope this helps!
What a great idea! Are you using the sign outdoors?
Holli, Yes I have it outside my studio. But it is under a mini roof so it doesn’t really get direct sunlight or rain to it.
