Has anyone decorated their Magic Bands? Please show us the pictures!

I've tried the pens on a business card with a waxy coat and they dried almost immediately. I don't think I'm going to even need a base coat, but definitely a top coat. I was worried since these are oil based that they might smudge or take a long time to dry, but they don't do either thing! Do you think an acrylic sealer will be okay with the oil based paint?

Hmmmm...good point. Hopefully some others will chime in who have more knowledge in the art media than I do!

Thanks! I made the design in photoshop and printed it out on tattoo paper. I painted the band with white nail polish before applying the tattoo paper so the colors stand out better.

I've just watched all of this thread. I love it so much! My MB is being shipped right now. I'm eagerly waiting for it to arrive so I can customize it too! I already know what I want to do...
If it turns out half as good as some I've seen then it'll be great !

It's nice having a dh who is a sign guy! I sent him pictures, he printed the vinyl and even put it on the bands

I LOVE these! I'd definitely pay you to do this for me! lol

May I direct you to page 180 (faux-leather style) and page 182. I just read the entire thread and these are the only one I remember to be steampunk . Do share yours though once it's done!! I'm so curious!!

So, it took me a better part of today, but I got our bands done! I used the sharpie paint pens and acrylic paint. Everything was good until I put the top coat (OPI top coat). The sharpie pain smeared slightly. Nothing too major, just a few touch ups here and there. The advantage is, it gave a nice vintage look to the paint! I wish I had taken pictures before the top coat, but I did not. So, I highly recommend NOT using the oil based sharpie paint pens!

For those of you that are looking to make your designs glow in the dark we've just added a plain glow in the dark vinyl Skin which is ideal as a first layer for you to be able to paint over.

I just saw that one on your site yesterday! I'm very interested in that one, but wasnt sure if anything could be painted on top of that or not. And if I could put a sealer over the top or not also.

Which do you think will work better? I was wondering if the matte finish will be better to avoid cracking?

 

[Calirya]

These are mine. Haven't yet "ruined" them with sealer.
