Tips·
-Using a hair dryer can help remove bubbles behind the stickers and help them stick better.
-Using a hair dryer to remove the stickers also helps the stickers to not leave a residue or if so makes the residue easy to take off.
-You must use clear vinyl stickers in order for them to hold up with the daily washings and alcohol rub downs.
-The more the better!!! Well…I guess this is personal preference!
-Placement is key. There are certain spots that tend to get rubbed off quickly. Especially since Cannon likes to turn his head back and forth, back and forth as if trying to itch his little head so the ones on the back and the ones on the back sides are susceptible to getting rubbed off.
-Fading and wear happens so having lots of stickers on hand to use makes it all the more exciting!
As I mentioned in a previous post, my determined mother found stickers and stickers and more stickers. They are absolutely adorable! She found hers at Hobby Lobby in the scrap booking section and if you time it just right, 50% off or with a 40% off coupon they are a steal! Chandler, Cannon and I also found some from Target for 99 cents!!! And they are too cute! Of course this is a shout out to Cannon’s dear big brother, Chandler, as he picked out the current adorable stickers and chose the theme for this round of decorating! I know it is the little things in life, but this is so fun!
I wanted words and sayings because seriously how cute would that be. So thanks to Jenny for letting us borrow and play with her Cricut, yesterday, my mom and I decided to be adventurous!!! We decided it was time to add words and sayings. So after lots (not really) of thought we set out to turn Cannon’s helmet into an expression of…well…lets say...of art! HAHA! Anyway as you will see below the words truly add a magical touch! In one of my previous posts there is a picture of Cannon and Chandler without the words and as you are about to see the words add so much! Thanks again Jenny!

Oh my goodness, I'm not sure which theme I like better! The words do add a lot to the theme overall. I didn't realize the helmet was clear - that's really cool looking. I bet Chandler really enjoys being a part of picking the stickers/themes.
ReplyDeleteSo how did you do the stickers on the cricut? Did you actually cut them out of sticky paper or what? I have a cricut (that someone gifted me) and I really don't know how to use it/utilize it to the fullest.
The words are adorable! You can use the cricut when ever you would like over the next year! Your mom knows where I keep it :)
