I designed this decal recently and I have fallen in love with it. We've mostly used it for flower boxes but this last week I made it into a sign.
The inspiration for it was from a few different crafts I've done. I've been making a lot of these home tiles and love the substitute of Washington state for the O. I also really love this new font I got so I was hoping to combine the two and in such a way I could do it on the flower boxes.
It looked good but not completed. I had created this wheat wreath last Christmas for a wooden box. I had tried a few different borders with the HOME decal but this one had the 'farm house' feel I was going for and was simple but decorative.
I made the first box, which is approx 5x5" and sized the decal. I used Oracal 651 which should hold permanently to the stained box. Making one for myself helps so I can see how well it holds up.
Once I got going, it was easier to make more and I got a lot of positive feedback from them.

I was really hoping to make one for myself once things slowed down but we already have a lot of table decor so I decided to try the sign route. The sign is about 9x13". The wheat was MUCH easier to weed, making it even more desirable to make. I'm really happy with how it turned out. When I open my Etsy shop (plan is for this summer), I'm debating on selling just the decal in the two different sizes or selling the sign itself. I wonder what else I could make with the decal?
