DIY decor for boys room
14
items I love DIY-ing some decor in my boys room cause not only does it save us money but it allows me to really fulfill the vision by being able to hand pick materials.
Here’s some inspo of some I already finished with their materials

Bro. Sign
You Are Loved Sign
I used black for this project. Make sure you used the permanent vinyl. Matte works better since it’s on a wood sign but glossy is okay if that’s your preference!
Cricut® 12" x 48" Permanent Vinyl, Color: White | Michaels
You can use any Cricut machine but I like using my Maker cause it lets me do more projects.
Cricut Maker 4 Electric Die Cutting Tool/Cutting Machine/Seashell
I love this multiple item pack bc it’s pretty much everything I need for projects that use vinyl.
Cricut 5pc Basic Arts and Crafts Tool Set: Multicolor Metal & Plastic, Craft Scissors, Handle, Art & Craft Accessory
If you’re going to make a smaller version of the project, this machine is amazing. I have this one and it’s also so easy to move around to another room or space if I need to work somewhere else in the house.
Cricut Joy Xtra Cutting Machine White
I love the grip of this mat. The extra’s not necessary for me. This one lasts as long as you put the cover back every after use
Cricut StandardGrip 12x12 Cutting Mat - 2pc: Craft Mats for Cricut Cutting Board, Green, Plastic, 12x12, 0.45 lbs
This scraper comes in handy for bigger projects
Cricut XL Scraper - Mint: Craft Hand Tool for Vinyl & Cricut Tools, Manual Plastic Scraper, Mint Green & White
Hobby Lobby offers multiple sizes of these frames. I got the biggest one because we have a pretty big blank wall in their room.
Whitewash Wood Wall Decor
All Materials
Here’s a list of all materials I have ready for whenever a project comes up. As I continuously update this list with more projects, I’ll update the materials as well if I switch brands or get new ones
Some of the projects I’ll post here use heat transfer vinyl - I like Amazon brands too but if you need an in-store one same day, this one works well!
Cricut Heat Resistant Tape .75 X 52": Clear Craft Tape for High Heat & Heat Transfer, 52" Length, 0.75" Width
If you don’t like the rolls - these are also very efficient to minimize cutting from a roll and easily store in a document filer.
Black Permanent Vinyl 15 Sheets 12x11.8 Glossy
I’m working on canvas name signs for my boys room. I’ve seen them on Etsy but some are either too big or too pricey. The quality on this fabric is amazing plus the grommets are already included!
Canvas Banner Flag for Nursery & Playroom
Heat transfer vinyl I’ve been using for years - the quality is amazing! The weeding is so effortless.

Bro. Sign
I fell in love with this “bro.” sign years ago but when I went to the website, it was discontinued. On top of that, others weren’t really catching the vibe I wanted so I recreated a version that I really likedx
I used a magnetic dry erase board I found from Five Below a couple years ago but are not in stores right now (maybe check during back to school) but here’s an alternative.
Mr. Pen 16x12 Double-Sided Magnetic Whiteboard
Here’s a bigger version if you’re planning to put it on a bigger wall space - the small one was perfect bc I envisioned it to be part of a collage wall.
U Brands Magnetic Dry Erase Board 24x18
One of the best value for vinyl specially if you have multiple projects lined up.
