Black 22" X 7" A Smile is The Best Makeup-Marilyn Monroe Wall Sticker Paper Quote Decal Art Décor

I was somewhat dismayed when I received this. For one, there were no instructions. Second, it was sent in a manila envelope, folded in half, creased on some of the letters. Third, it was much smaller than I expected. I went on Amazon and looked for instructions, hoping they were in the description, but they were not. I then noticed all of the reviews and was not pleased. I know I probably should have read them first, but I didn't. Needless to say, this was not promising. After rummaging through youtube videos, I thought I would be okay to install this. It really is NOT difficult. However, when I went to peel the backing off so I could apply the graphic to the wall, the letters were sticking to it. They were sticking to the wrong side! After about 20 minutes of sitting at my dining room table with a little squeegee, I managed to get the backing off and all of the letters were in the right place. I put it in place on the wall and within 4 minutes, it was completed and stuck right where I wanted it. A few things - 1. You do NOT have to do the letters one at a time. 2 - I would HIGHLY recommend cutting it into three separate parts before applying. Cut it so the the quote is one piece, the signature another, and the lips the last. The reason I say this is because due to the awkward shape and size of the lips, the signature is crooked. It's higher at the start and comes down lower at the end. Not sure if the picture I will post can convey this, but take a look to see what I mean. I wasn't paying attention and applied this based on the signature being straight and now the quote is crooked on the wall. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look entirely bad, but if you separate this into three pieces like I suggest, you can definitely make it straighter than mine came out. I'm not entirely thrilled with the prospect of trying to get it back on the paper to take it down and reapply it. I might just take it off entirely and get another one, separating it beforehand as I suggested. Overall, it was an okay purchase for the price, but, it really wasn't as bad as some of the other reviews made it out to be. Just go slow when applying and you should be fine. Not worthy of a five-star rating, but it still worked out for me.

I bought several different sticker quotes because I wanted to decorate the walls without spending a ton. They look awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Installation was a slow pain.. but not hard. Most of them are not ready to apply as is and have to be transferred to transfer paper and then to the wall. Transfer paper was included if needed. Some had letters and words out of place in order to fit as much text on as little paper as possible. No big deal. I applied them to the transfer paper by slowly pulling back the clear protective sheet a little and then using my shower squigee to transfer it a few inches at a time, then went over it with my hands to make sure it stuck. I cut around letters or separate words, taped them to the wall where I wanted them so I could make sure everything lined up properly and I wouldn't risk tearing them by trying to remove and realign them later, then I transferred them to the wall one section at a time with the same slow squigee and finger technique that I used before, slowly removing the contact paper as I went as to make sure everything transferred nicely and nothing ended up torn. Some letters are thin, so you have to be careful. Mine transferred beautifully by being patient and taking my time in the transfers. I love them! Tip - If you have trouble getting the clear sheet off.. put a piece of tape on each side of one corner (not sticking them together other of course, you only want them to make enough contact at the corner that they are both stuck to the very tip of the corner and enough to grab onto it.. I cut about 2 inches per piece to use), grab each piece and pull them away from each other slowly, so you are using it to pull the 2 sheets apart. Much easier and less damaging than trying to wedge a fingernail in there. Despite the slow installation, which got faster as I figured it out.. I am really happy with them. They look really nice. Everything is still in place 6 months later, other than a couple letters on one that our cat scratched off the wall. These stickers are a great purchase for affordable decorating!! Really, really nice!!

1. It was easy to put myself. Probably because it was the 22 x 12 size.2. Not happy with this product only because the letters do not separated from the clear vinyl due to the letters are painted onto clear vinyl. So from different angles it looks shiny. I was under the impression that after you place on the wall the clear sheet peels off. NOT the case. My suggestion would be to put it on a wall that doesn’t get a clare from a window.3. I just put it up so I don’t know at this time if it will stay adhered to the wall. It looks like it’s on there pretty good but time will tell.

I’ve bought this twice. First time I messed it up, rushing. I end up buying another. I’ve done many of these plenty of times.Just cut it into three layers(preferably use a box cutter)After cutting it into three sections grab a squeegee or credit card and smooth it down with pressure words facing you. Do this for about 5mins (needs to stick)Now peel the white paper off slowly, all words should be sticking on the clear sheet.Place the clear sticky paper however you want it placed on the wall, leveled.Now smooth it down with pressure again, using the squeegee or credit card (for about 5 mins) until it sticks to wall.Peel the clear sticky paper slowly starting from left to right. If letters lift. Smooth it with pressure again, until it sticks to wall.

I actually really love the saying, it's the way it was delivered that I do not like. It came folded and the vinyl is now creased. I can't use it. It also took approximately 6 weeks to arrive. I've purchased vinyl wall lettering in the past it usually comes in a roll like a poster. Very disappointed.
