Re: Stickers and Modge Podge

[Guest guest]

Stacey,

As for modge podge, I haven't used it.

Stickers, on the other hand! I have found that the scrapbook stickers

are easiest to work with.

1 - They remove soooo much easier.

2 - make sure that they aren't too big, smaller than a silver dollar.

because they band isn't flat, they just buckle and don't wear or look

nice.

3 - stickers without points seem to wear better. Rounded edges work

best.

4 - I have found that most stickers only last two weeks, some less.

try and find them on sale at s.

Good luck!

Mod podge goes over everything to protect it as long as possible (I

changed my son's helmet design every 3 weeks). You can use it with

just stickers, or paint, then stickers, then Mod Podge. Clear backed

stickers work really well, even without Mod Podge. I did my son's

band like a Tennessee Vols football helmet once, got stickers off

ebay, and without Mod Podge or paint, the design lasted for almost 2

months. To remove any sticky residue, you can use Goo Gone, it will

come right off. Have fun decorating!

Stacey,

I have found varish works best over stickers. I usually put 3-4 coats

over them and they have last 4 weeks. It doesn't leave the sticky

residue either.

Hi Stacey,

I too have found that the varnish works great with the modge podge. I was instructed by one of the customer service people at s to apply the stickers directly to the band, then apply two coats of modge podge with a sponge brush, then two coats of varnish (which makes it nice and smooth/non-sticky). The original stickers have been on my daughter's band for 2 1/2 months! It worked great. She graduates from her band next week, so I only had to decorate once.

Enjoy decorating!
