If you want a wall decal that’ll last for many years to come, make sure to use permanent vinyl. While removable vinyl is recommended for use on temporary applications. If the wall decal is for temporary application, or you plan to remove it in the future, it’s recommended to use removable vinyl.

How do you create large wall decals?

Creating large wall decals is pretty straightforward. If you want to create large wall decals, one tip is to use long rolls of adhesive craft vinyl. As you can see, adhesive craft vinyl rolls are available in different sizes.

At TeckWrap Craft, the adhesive craft vinyl sizes available are 12“ x 5ft, 12“ x 10 ft and 12“ x 82ft. Using 12“ x 5ft for regular-sized decal would work. But if you want to create larger decals, it is recommended to use the 12“ x 82ft vinyl roll.

So here’s how to create decal stickers:

• Measure the surface area of the wall where you want to stick the decal.
• Peel off the clear protective film of the adhesive vinyl before cutting.
• Cut your custom design on the cutting machine. See the infographic below on the recommended cutting machine settings.
• Clean the wall with a damp cloth and water. The decal won’t stick if the wall is filled with dirt and dust.

• Using your weeding tool and weed the excess vinyl.
