Add a quote in vinyl to a globe for fun DIY project.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi
We’re taking our favorite Gandhi quote and turning it into home decor! This project would also make a great graduation gift. If you have a digital cutting machine like the Silhouette or the Cricut you can download the cut file for this project and make your own decorative globe!
I’ve always loved Heather from Whipperberry’s globe. I happened to have a globe from my thrifting days, so I thought it would be fun to personalize it with my favorite Gandhi quote: “Be the change you wish to see in the world” – Gandhi
Don’t you just love this quote? It’s so motivating. Do you have a favorite Gandhi quote? There are so many good ones.
I love how it turned out on the globe. If you look close, you can see that we added a small globe in the letter O of the word “world”. We were able to do this with the Silhouette Cameo.
It was a little tricky transferring the quote onto the globe. Round objects and thin vinyl letters are not a match made in heaven. It was definitely a two man job.

Hi, I found your blog and this specific craft through interest. This is beautiful and I would love to make this for my sister who is serving a mission right now. This quote is actually one of the turning points for her to decide to go on a mission. It is the close in her weekly letters. Could you send me the Silhouette file?
I also looked over some of your blog. You are inspirational! I will probably become a regular reader. 🙂
Thanks!
I adore this. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for the awesome download!
Hi.. nice job.. unfortunately the spelling of Gandhi is wrong.. Its Mahatma Gandhi not ‘Ghandi’… it might hurt some sentiments
Oh my goodness I have to share this on my blog. I love it!! Thanks so much for posting.
This is awesome! I would love the silhouette file so that I can do this as well. Thanks for sharing such an inspirational project!
I love your globe. I may need the file so I can make one on my Silhouette! So cute!
Love the quote and would love to have the file for my Cameo.
This is amazing! I would also love the file. Now I just have to thrifting for a globe!
Oh, and I am ALWAYS misspelling Gandhi. I wish we could just refer to him as Mahatma, because it’s way easier to remember where that “h” goes! 🙂
Oh my word this is BEAUTIFUL! Any chance you’ll ever be willing to make another globe like this and sell it? I would totally buy it!
LOVE this! Would love to make a globe like this for my HS classroom {I teach World History and try to teach kindness, as well!}. I have a Silhouette and would also love the file, if not too much trouble!
Thanks so much!
This is one of my favorite quotes! Thanks so much!
Absolutely LOVE this! And I happen to have a globe sitting just three feet away from me that would look awesome with this on it! Would you mind sending me the file for my Silhouette? Please and Thank You!
I just got a cameo this week and would LOVE if you could send me the file! You are wonderful, can’t wait to see more from you : ) Thanks!!!
Thanks! It is much appreciated!
Kami ~ you and I share the same favorite quote from Gandhi… I truly believe that every change as small as it may be it starts with you/me. Thank you so much for sharing those wonderful printables and as soon as I get my Cameo I will definitely purchase the quote you created. Be Blessed!
This will be on a globe in my classroom this fall. Thank you.
Can I pay you to send me the sticker already made!!
sorry, I can’t.
loving this craft! hope I win so I can make it!
Thanks! Love this for my classroom!
Love this download! Do you have one with the correct spelling of Gandhi?

Thanks for the download. If you ever sell the actual vinyl that I could purchase and have mailed, I would be interested. Thanks, Jenna
I purchased the $2 from paypal. I thought it would be the stencil like you put on the globe. I haven’t received anything. How can I contact you?
Can I please get a refund? I didn’t realize it was for the cameo. I do not have one. Thank you!
I just purchased and Gandhi is still spelled wrong. What can I do? I am not sure how to change it.
Does your globe in this picture have raised relief features or is it flat?
Thank you! Can’t wait to make it!
Hi Ashley! It’s pretty bumpy in spots.
Thank you!
One last question:
I was just about to purchase the file but wanted to make sure that the Gandhi misspelling was corrected first. Could you please confirm the file was fixed?
Thank you again!
The Silhouette file is not fixed yet, but the printable is fixed.
It’s fixed now! yay!
would like to purchase the cut file for my silhouette but could not figure it out
Did you receive the cut file? I’m confused on your question.
I just paid for this download, how do i access it?
I just purchased this with Paypal but I never saw a download link for the cutting. Where do I find that?
We do not have a silouetter or cameo but need this decal for our daughters graduation party. Can I purchase the decal somewhere?
You can download the design and reach out to someone who cuts vinyl as a business and have them cut it for you.
Would you be able to sell me the vinyl cutout already made and ready to mount on my own globe? Just as pictured?
No, sorry! Maybe you could find someone who could cut it out for you!
I just purchased the download but am unable to find out where to get the actual download from. There is no link in my email.
Could you cut this out for me for an additional charge..?
No…sorry!
I love this!!! I have a silhouette portrait. Will it be big enough to cut this file? I know that the cameo has a larger cutting field than my portrait. Wanted to make sure, before I purchased the file. Thanks!
Hi Sherry! It should work great!
Ok. Thanks!
