Handmade Children's Wall Decals

The easiest way to make a dramatic change in any child's room is by using wall decals. They come in all shapes and sizes &mdash and we're sort of in love. We love them even more when they don't cost an arm and a leg and come in more designs than just race cars.

 
 

We went to a popular source (just for the heck of it) to see if we could find any interesting and unique wall decals. Much to our surprise, Etsy had a ton of wall decals for sale &mdash and the best part is that they are handmade. When we purchase items for kids, it makes them feel extra special when it was handmade.

Etsy seller Chocovenyl has an abundance of handmade wall decals that would be fun for kids of many ages. The seller combines old stories with a new spin to create unique, boisterous and exciting wall decals.

The decals are made from fabric paper that is PVC free, and primarily made of cellulose and polyester with self adhesive fabric paper, which is removable, reusable and can be repositioned. The decals will not damage your wall upon removal and will not leave any residue. The decals can be applied to any non-porous flat surface (wall, ceilings, windows) and can be wrapped around corners. They are rich color printed (not flat color vinyl). They will not shrink or wrinkle, and are tear resistant. The material has a slight fabric texture and matt finish.

We love how whimsical the decals are and how broad the spectrum is. Chocovenyl offers anything from Little Red Riding Hood to Babushka Dolls. The prices range from $65-$130 with the option of custom orders.
