Vinyl Silhouettes

Vinyl Silhouettes are sort of like a trend mashup as both vinyl decals and silhouettes have enjoyed bursts of popularity the past few years. The nice thing about them is that they are customized photographs of your kids.

Vinyl Silhouettes will create what they liken to a "high quality ultra-thin sticker" that you can apply (and remove without harm to the surface) to walls, furniture or whatever you fancy. Though they do have some pre-made graphics, they specialize in custom silhouettes - head profile, half or full body or more than one person (and pets!).

We think kids would really get a kick out of seeing themselves up on the wall like this. We like the idea of using real frames around them and treating them like an old-fashioned silhouette. For some good ideas, you can see how some customers have used them in their own homes.

Or something out of Flowers in the Attic. I do think the silhouette decals are cute though.

It's like the Princess decal is taunting the little girl who has to live in that sad, sad room!

Wow is that first room an actual child's room? I'm trying to figure out what kind of decor they're going for. Abandoned house of horrors princess room?

I love silhouettes I'm doing a "FREE GIVE AWAY" on my blog today and you are posting about them...how cool. I LUV them so much! What we need is a tutorial for doing our own vinyl letters. How neat would it be to have your kids on your walls, like wall paper...jumping or playing. Thanks!

That first room is scary, like a princess being held hostage and mocked by the kidnappers.

The idea is fun though. I like the one with the books.
