More decorating questions

Has anyone ever printed out colored pictures onto regular paper and mod-podged them on?

And if you mod-podge onto the band does it come off easily?

I've been doing stickers on 's band, which have been great. But I'm wanting to do a quilt themed for a week or two.

Or, do you think I could mod-podge fabric onto the band.

I basically want to be able to "return" to a natural plain band without any residue.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

THANKS! 6 months, almost 4 weeks in DOC band

I have printed out a picture on paper and also used regular paper in

the shape of numbers (from my scrapbook supplies) and mod podged it

on top of paint. The thing I learned quickly is that once you add

mod podge to paper, it's stuck in that spot, you can't move it like

you can with a sticker, since the mod podge goes right through the

paper. My Stanley Cup Final logo was completely off center on my

son's Penguins helmet and there was nothing I could do about it but

remove EVERYTHING and start all over, so I just left it.

I should note that non of the paper I mod podged was colored, it was

just black and white. I would just test it on something else first

to see if the colors from the printer ink would run from the mod

podge. Or you can maybe buy scrapbook paper that's already colored

and printed, I bet that wouldn't run like printer ink might. And

also, I used paper stickers right on the band for the first time

last week and will never do it again, because they were a PAIN to

get off, there was paper still stuck in spots and I didn't have any

goo gone, so I ended up painting over some of it and will deal with

it later. Hopefully someone can chime in and let you know how it is

removing the paper and mod podge directly from the plastic. I don't

think it would be as bad as a paper sticker since you won't have the

extra adhesive, but it might be worth adding a base coat or two of

white paint first, just to make it easier to remove later. Sounds

like a great idea though! Let us know how it works if you try it!

I printed out some letters on plain paper and used " Xyron Create-a-

Sticker " (which I had with my scrapbooking supplies) that basically

puts a sticker backing onto any paper. I then applied them directly

to the band and covered with a couple layers of varnish. They come

up easily if they are misplaced and have stayed put well with the

varnish. However, you can still get " under " the edge (even with the

varnish on - it is really thin) to pull them up when you want a

change.

Hope this helps some - it has worked for me.
