Re: Band decorating question

[Guest guest]

Hi Sherryl,

My son's helmet didn't come pre-decorated, but I did use stickers to

do his name. I changed the theme often, so I changed the stickers for

his name. I dont know about pens/paints to use, but I'm sure others

will chime in with that.

Can't wait to see the pictures of Zanders band... should look pretty

cool with the flag.

Hi Sherryl,

I think stickers would probably be easiest. There are paint pens,

but their durability is questionable. Sometimes they do great other

times not so good. Stickers on the other hand can be easily

replaced and are relatively cheap. Look for clear backed stickers,

like stickoppatomaus (sp??). Try walmart, target, hobby lobby,

michaels, scrap booking stores, etc.

We use clear-backed letter stickers mostly, although I have used

regular ones also.

Check out www.scrapbookbargain.com and look at the Susy Ratto brush

letters. They're great!

Oooh! I am so pleased to find a new scrapbooking website!

Just adding(cannot find original post to reply) that Colin has a mix

of Me and My Big Ideas papaer and plastic stickers on his helmet. I

think it looks great. It is the safari minis and matching borders.

You can see it under Colin W. The clear come of easier, but they

also come off easier, LOL. I have only had to replace the clear

border ones. There is one paper one that peeled a bit, but not

noticable enough to re-do the whole thing, and I cannot find another

pattern I like as much. I found both looked great, but our helmet

is white, so the paper ones went on well. Would not be as great on a

color.

Hoping to be out of it for the Cape vacation last week of the

month!! Will do fish if not(going to try some rub-ons I have

around. I will post how they work). So, if you see a 6 month old

cutie with a fishy helmet on the beach, that would be Colin. mish
