melon case

i found some adhesive vinyl at the art store after the summer class was over...oh my. Naturally, i put stickers on everything i could think of and this is the result. i wanted to do graphics on my helmet and bike anyways, and this was the simplest way...

so i takes the xacto knife, and traces the printout i laid over top the vinyl. i secured my template with some tape, and used a drawing board as a cutting mat.

after removing all of the negative pieces, i was left with only the pieces i wanted on the helmet. i left it on the backing for the mean time, until i get the transfer.

at this point ive cleaned the helmet surface so the vinyl adheres properly. ive also used a piece of frisket as a transfer and have removed the vinyl from the backer. now the adhesive side is exposed and ready to be placed on the helmet.

now it just needs to snow...
