Add a quote in vinyl to a globe for a personalized 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.
Because I know not everyone has a Silhouette Cameo or a Cricut digital cutting machine, we created this quote as a printable in multiple sizes as well.
**FREE PRINTABLE AND CUT FILE**
Submit your information below so we can send you this free Gandhi quote cut file! You will also receive color and b/w printable versions in 4×6, 5×7 & 8×11 sizes.
*All free downloads are for NoBiggie readers and are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
*Update – The name Gandhi was originally misspelled, but it is now fixed! (7/17/15)

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?

Hi.. nice job.. unfortunately the spelling of Gandhi is wrong.. Its Mahatma Gandhi not ‘Ghandi’… it might hurt some sentiments

Love the quote and would love to have the file for my Cameo.
Lorene says
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! 🙂
Robyn @ The Birthday Project says
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!

jenna says
Thanks for the download. If you ever sell the actual vinyl that I could purchase and have mailed, I would be interested. Thanks, Jenna
Julie Simmons says
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?
Julie Simmons says
Can I please get a refund? I didn’t realize it was for the cameo. I do not have one. Thank you!
Jessica says
I just purchased and Gandhi is still spelled wrong. What can I do? I am not sure how to change it.
Ashley says
Does your globe in this picture have raised relief features or is it flat?
Thank you! Can’t wait to make it!
kami says
Hi Ashley! It’s pretty bumpy in spots.
Ashley says
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!
kami says
The Silhouette file is not fixed yet, but the printable is fixed.
kami says
It’s fixed now! yay!
Jodi Perry says
would like to purchase the cut file for my silhouette but could not figure it out
kami says
Did you receive the cut file? I’m confused on your question.
Lara Polk says
I just paid for this download, how do i access it?
Lara Polk says
I just purchased this with Paypal but I never saw a download link for the cutting. Where do I find that?
Chauntel says
We do not have a silouetter or cameo but need this decal for our daughters graduation party. Can I purchase the decal somewhere?
kami says
You can download the design and reach out to someone who cuts vinyl as a business and have them cut it for you.
Mary says
Would you be able to sell me the vinyl cutout already made and ready to mount on my own globe? Just as pictured?
kami says
No, sorry! Maybe you could find someone who could cut it out for you!
Andrea says
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.
Lisa McDMcDougal iugal says
Could you cut this out for me for an additional charge..?
Kami says
No…sorry!
Sherry says
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!
Kami says
Hi Sherry! It should work great!
Sherry says
Ok. Thanks!
Megan London says
Hi! An error is coming up when I try to download the file to make a vinyl cut. I would love to add this to the globe in my classroom. Thanks!
Anne says
do you still have the file for this? I made one years ago and would like to make another one for a friend. Thank you so much!
Kami says
Just sent it!
