Home Decorating with Your Personal Die Cut Machine

by dhall10622

When most people think of a personal die cut machine, they think
of a tool used for making cutouts for scrapbook layouts, handmade
cards, and other paper crafting projects.  Very few think of
using die cuts for home decorating, but cutouts can be used in a
number of ways to inexpensively add a special decorator's touch
to your home.

Following are three of the many ways you can transform your home
using die cuts:

1.  Artwork

Even on sale, artwork can be a pricey investment, but it's hard
to deny the impact of artwork and pictures on the ambiance of a
room. With a little time and creativity, you can make your own
custom art for a fraction of what you would pay in the store. 
Even if you think of yourself as artistically-challenged, it is
very easy to make your own pictures using custom made cutouts. 
Assuming that you already own a personal die cut machine, you
will only need to invest in card stock or paper that coordinates
with the room's theme, as well as a nice frame and mat that
highlight the cutouts.

2.  Vinyl Wall Letters

A popular trend among home interior experts and homeowners alike
is to use words or phrases as wall accents in various rooms. 
Perhaps you envision the word "Dream" painted on the wall above
your bed, or "Home Sweet Home" spelled out over your entrance
door.  Of course, you could try your hand at painting the letters
on your wall.  Many people, however, opt for purchasing vinyl
wall letters, which tend to be expensive.  Some models of
personal die cut machines are capable of cutting through vinyl,
and if your model has this capability, you will be able to create
your own vinyl wall letters in minutes.  As an alternative, you
can also use your machine to cut through wallpaper, to create
your own wallpaper cutouts.

3.  Decoupaged Accent Pieces

Wall clocks, benches, shelves, end tables, kids' furniture, and
other accent pieces in your home can be personalized with die
cuts using a technique called decoupage.  Using a special
adhesive, such as Mod Podge, it is easy to affix your cutouts to
the accent piece you are personalizing.  After the die cuts have
been decoupaged to the surface, you may want to consider
following up with a layer or two of clear varnish to further
protect your design and ensure that it will last for many years
to come.

There are countless other ways to use custom cutouts to decorate
your home, but hopefully this will serve as a source of
inspiration to try something new with your die cutter.
