Dezign With A Z, Fairy Tree Wall Decals Review



I wanted something cute for the area Sy likes to lounge at. The walls are pretty plain in my apartment still, and soon as you walk into the apartment you see an inner island where the sink is, that separates the kitchen from the living room.

I ordered the Fairy Tree Wall Decals 22”x25” from Dezign With A Z to fill that void on the wall. I was impressed at how fast the decal came. There were also cute little butterflies, and polka dots rolled up along with my tree, so it was like a bonus unraveling it, and finding little treasures along the way.

Here's a demo on how easy it is to Install the Decals:


It's pretty simple to install the Decal; My wall wasn't glossy so I didn't have to clean it off. I just marked where on the wall I wanted it, and I picked the corner of the inner island. I then laid the decal on a flat surface, and used the special tool that came with it to flatten it so the transfer sticks to the sticky side. I lined the tree on the wall with the marks. Since mines on a corner, I peeled the top right first and gently flattened it down to stick to the wall (Sticky side goes on the wall.) I did the same with the bottom right corner.



Then I used the tool and flattened the detail of the decal down more as I went around the wall. With the tree there are alot of little swirls, and leaves. The detail is just wild. Once I thought it was flat enough I peeled the plastic off, leaving just the decal behind on the wall. For how small some of the lines were, it really wasn't difficult. Even applying it to the corner was pretty easy. Just had to make sure I smoothed it out enough, and every bit stuck where it was supposed to.



This was a simple project for even people that aren't crafty, and want something unique. The decal is for a fairy tree, but I don't think it means for a certain gender. I love things that are magic, and mythical. I grew up reading about fairies, goblins, and trolls. Of course, I would want my son to have an imagination too.

I was giving the product in exchange to do a review. Review as in, I installed it myself, gave my feed back, and honestly, pictures do not lie when it comes to decals, and placement. Receiving product did not sway my opinion. All links on review, do go to the sponsor regarding more detail.

Dali Decal Review & Giveaway

I live in an apartment that all the walls are a nuetral cream color, and the trim is a walnut, while the fixtures are white. I wanted something for my 18 months old room to make it feel more like home. It seems the past 3 years we have moved each year due to expanding our family. I really wanted a place that felt like home, and that I can be comfortable in. I've never full on decorated, or painted my apartment walls, because I didn't want to have to paint them back to a cream color when we moved.



I wanted the babies room to be different this time, somewhere he can go play, look at colorful things on the wall. Basically I wanted him to really enjoy his first room to himself. It had to be playful.

I did a search online for easy wall murals, and found Dali Decals. There were so many different designs, and for all kinds of areas of your home. I saw some cute little girl fairy wall decals that I thought, Oh man, I wish I had a girl!! Maybe the husband wouldn't mind if I put that in our bedroom.. But I got back on my main mission, for my baby boys bedroom.



I was graciously giving a $50.00 Dali Decal Gift Certificate in which I choose the Mini Happy & Fun Dinosaur Printed Wall Decals in exchange for a review. In total there were six dinosaur wall transfers. The package arrived quick through UPS. There was even a test decal to try. When you order the decals you have the option on what type of wall texture you have. Mine were just plain flat paint, so I had no problem applying the test decal. I put it above some art work on another wall. In the package is also a plastic tool to smooth the decal flat. The Dinos came on a sheet together.



The directions were very easy. Peel the test decal off sticker side up, so you can apply that side to the wall, smooth out so there are no air bubbles with the decal tool. I found it easy to just do the top left corner first, flatten it out, and smooth out evenly, and work my way down, and across to the right. Peel the transfer paper off the wall so that the transfer sticks flat the same way. I picked one corner to start on, and just kept peeling in the same direction in one motion. It all came off no problem, and one try. After that I used the tool again to make sure it was completely as flat as it could be.

1. Cut around each dino.
2. Peel the transfer paper off the side that has the self adhesive.
3. Apply the sticky side to the wall.
4. Use the tool to flatten, and make sure no air bubbles.
5. When taking the last layer of transfer paper off, I pulled in the same direction, and got it all off in one piece.

The dino's teeth, and claws gave me no problem, and they were small in detail, so it looks great on the wall above the babies crib.

I really wish I would have done this sooner. It was so easy, and now I am addicted, I want something for each room. There are all kinds of different decals, it's easy to do a search on their site, and find what you are looking for. I'm very pleased with how great they match his stuffed animals.
