Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 We found out today that our son will need the DOC band. I am definitely interested in decorating the band, to help make it less clinical for the little guy. Does anyone have suggestions as to how? What worked best? Concerns with paint fumes? Stickers vs. paint, etc. Any tips would be hugely useful! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I ONLY use Coree at bling your band blogspot. her website is http://www.blingyourband.blogspot.com/ She has the best stuff, but I would suggest using modpodge over the stickers. There is a ton of info in the files on the plagio page.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi. Usually the best stickers to use are the clear backed ones. They stay on better than paper ones or raised ones and they are also easier to remove when you want to change them. 's and AC moore are great places to look. Also, you want to make sure that the stickers aren't very big, because the bigger they are the harder it can be to get them to stay on (because of the cruves of the helmet). Some people put some clear mod podge over the stickers to help them stay longer. We didn't, but some find it helps. Good luck and have fun decoarating. Oh... another tip. We used the little letter stickers and put out Daughter's name accross the front of her band. It actually seemed to help break the ice when people knew her name and were more likely to talk to use rather than just stare.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Use the clear backed stickers (I had a VERY frusterating experience with paper backed stickers that would not come off!!). I also layer with mod podge (goes on white, dries clear, and is non toxic). Also (I know I have mentioned her shop before, but I just love what she does) coree at "bling your band" has pre-made or will do custom designs with vinyl trasnfers. her site is http://www.blingyourband.blogspot.com/ From: Caree <d3jones@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 12:16:20 PMSubject: decorating Hi I am new here.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hi, Can someone help me with the vinyl transfers? I just received mine today and they didn't come with instructions. I want to make sure I put them on right. Can you tell me if I just remove the paper and rub it on then take the other paper off? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have a related question about vinyl transfers - how do you remove them from the band if you want to change designs? Does rubbing alcohol or goo gone work?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 So-I'm bummed. My son gets his DOC band on Friday, and in trying to find the 'silver lining' in all this, I was excited about decorating it for him. Unfortunately, the blingyourband site is closed for the summer. (Interesting way to run a business! ). Are there any other sources for custom decorations? I'm not very crafty...
