Go Steelers! Happy Halloween!
There won't be a band of the week for a while now. This is his Halloween helmet and will be wearing it for his football costume and for his football themed birthday party. After that we will go back to the band of the week.
This is 3 coats of black acrylic paint. I used Creamcoat brand this time and got much better coverage. Over that is a layer of Mod Podge. The yellow stripes are printed from the computer on Avery Sticker Paper I would recommend the clear, I used the regular and it didnt stick well. The side sticker is an NFL collection from the party section of Wal Mart, all the others I could find were too big. This one seems dwarfed though so if the stripes hold up I may print out a bigger one myself. Over the stickers are 2 layers of Mod Podge, the edges of the stripes were peeling up taking the paint with them so have more mod podge there.

The decorations look great. I am getting my son's helmet tomorrow and I am planning to decorate with paint and stickers. I love the decoupage with the napkin. When do you decorate if the band is off only 1 hour a day?
