The popular pup is sure to grab attention with its playful and unique design to add to your home décor, perfect for either a child's room or adult space.

Cities Banning Plastic Bags Encourage Canvas Bags Instead

Canvas bag designs make bag bans an opportunity for fashion

The Holidays are a time to make changes for the coming year. In the spirit of the season, many cities across the world have looked to take on the eco-friendly challenge of banning plastic bags at grocery stores and local shops, instead encouraging patrons to bring their own canvas bags to carry groceries.

Plastic bag bans are nothing new. Canvas bags have already caught on as the best way to carry groceries in many parts of the world, giving cities with newly minted bans something to admire. The accessories have made popular gifts with public radio and television; as door prizes for fundraisers and other marketing opportunities. But now, as plastic bag movements become reality in many cities, tote bags are looking to become the newest fashion trend.

For Students: Creative students returning to school after the Holidays may be looking for a great way to carry groceries, school books or even a laptop. But if the items at the bookstore don't strike your fancy, you can find your own canvas bag with a design more suited to your personality. With many fun designs to choose from, you are sure to go back to school in style.

For Gamers: Late-night gaming sessions mean a lot of late-night trips to the corner store for more battle snacks before jumping back into a new game. Have less impact on the environment when you head out on a snack run by bringing a canvas bag.

For Fashionistas: Tote bags are popular utilitarian bags for those days when a dressy purse just won't go. You can throw in a few things for the car, some work documents or your groceries and never look out of fashion. With cutting edge designs and simple, retro-style images, a simple tote can accentuate your casual style on days when you are dressing down but still dressing up.

Save The Environment With Canvas Bags

Canvas bags have become increasingly popular in today's society as an alternative to both paper and plastic bags, along with other synthetically generated bags, such as fake leather, for example. The heightened awareness around these fabric bags is partly due to their environmental-friendly characteristics, but also because of their awareness-spreading potential.

Canvas can be produced in all sorts of colours and shapes, and companies love to put their logos and interesting messages on the bags to spread awareness about their company, a product, a particular cause they're supporting, or whatever else they feel is important for people to know about. Other companies simply spruce up their canvas bags with decorative and/or fashionable images to make them more appealing.

Replacing plastic bags with a reusable canvas bag is a great way to go green and help decrease the environmental damage coming from the plastic bag industry. Each minute, the world uses around 1 million plastic bags. This means that somewhere between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed annually. The U.S. on its own goes through 100 billion bags each year. Moreover, during only 4 trips to the grocery store, the average family uses about 60 bags.

The scary part is that only .5 to 3% of these bags reach the recycling station. The rest end up on landfills or somewhere out in the nature. Considering that it can take up to 1,000 years for a plastic bag to decompose, this has huge negative effects on the environment.

Investing in a reusable canvas bag will not only save you space in the pantry, but also protect animals and the environment, and even people, from plastic toxins. At Vinyl Design, we have plenty of fun and creative designs to choose from. Get yours today!

Vinyl Wall Decal Brands Tap Retro Market With Video Game Room Décor

Retro game characters spice up room decor for kids young and old

In the technologically connected world we live in today, it is hard to imagine that home video game systems as we know them today are only 30 years old. Atari whet appetites for digital competition with Space Invaders and Centipede, while Nintendo's character-driven worlds of fantastic enemies trying to kill you cemented the world's love of computerized combat for all time. Now, as the first generation of super soldiers reaches adulthood, with homes and kids of their own, room décor designers are tapping into video game nostalgia with retro video game wall decals and home goods.

From cushion covers to custom wall stickers, popular video games have not only landed on adult home décor items but also on children's décor items, helping parents introduce a new generation of kids to early video games. Is your favorite game available today?

Tetris: As digitally simple as pong, as maddeningly frustrating as Donkey Kong but more popular than either one, Tetris became a game not only for hardcore gamers but for your mom and little sister as well. Like many of the world's best strategy games, it took a minute to learn but a lifetime to master. Tetris has lived on on smartphones and portable gaming devices, making those falling blocks perfect for children's rooms in the form of wall decals and other items.

Space Invaders: As one of the earliest console-style games, Space Invaders pitted joystick jockeys against each other in a battle for high-score dominance. Now, those creepy creatures inching ever faster toward your starship come home. The 2-bit alien enemies make a great addition to canvas bags, cushion covers and even wall coverings.

Pac Man: When gamers think of the first character-driven, level game, Super Mario is the first to come to mind. But Pac Man's pebble-eating, ghost grabbing semi-circle started the trend, with a series of ever-challenging mazes full of ghouls and fun prizes. For his trouble, he has never left the public lexicon, still gracing smartphones, portable gaming devices and every piece of merchandise imaginable. But Pac Man's child-friendly smile and colorful ghosts not only make for great gifts and adult items but also can brighten a child's room with wall decals and artwork, reminding them that no ghosts under the bed will get them with Pac Man standing guard.
