Cranial Band Decorations, Baby Boy Plagiocephaly Starband Doc Band Lightning Bolts

 Effortlessly cool and stylish any time of year! This neutral lightning bolt and good vibes decal sticker set will look stylish no matter what kind of helmet your baby has-- a docband, star band or other plagiocephaly baby helmet (helmet not included). A Babbleworthy hand-pieced original-- please beware of imitations!

Decorate your baby's plagiocephaly helmet (ex: DOC Band, Cranial Band, Star Band ) with an easy-to-wear, easy-to-match lightning and good vibes design in black, tan and light grey, with personalized first and middle name decals included. The lightning bolts can be styled in various ways and to different effect that best suits your baby's helmet. Please leave the first and middle name in the blank comments/notes field that will appear at the end of the purchase process, with the first name (that will be cut in tan caps lettering) first followed by the middle name (that will be cut in black script). Name decals will be cut in the approximate size of the example shown in the listing pictures; longer names than the example shown will have smaller letters to fit.  >> (**Add sealer and a brush by purchasing the "Cranial Kit" listing in my shop and I will ship together! Choose a NOPAINT kit for this set. Paint is NOT recommended.) << **All decals MUST be sealed with several thin layers of mod podge as soon as the decals are applied to the helmet to prevent peeling**

*Orders without a name included will be processed as such, with extra non-text lightning and star elements to fill the area originally occupied by the name.*

PROCESSING TIME: Orders currently take 2 WEEKS to create before shipping. Processing time excludes weekends and holidays.

WHY PURCHASE MY DECALS?

1. LESS EXPENSIVE than getting helmets custom painted, while still giving your child's helmet a customized, stylish look! Most custom painted helmets can cost $100+ . This is a more affordable option, especially if you are a parent of multiples who must wear helmets, and/or if your child will only be in the helmet for a short amount of time (as my daughter was!)... or even if, on the opposite end of the spectrum, your child needs to wear a helmet for a much longer amount of time and the prospect of outgrowing the helmet and needing another one to be decorated is anticipated.

2. MORE DURABLE than stickers or decoupage. For those with active babies, stickers and/or decoupaged paper can tear and peel quite easily. My decals are more resistant to tearing, and, when sealed regularly with Mod-Podge, can better withstand the rough and tumble play of your baby in comparison to stickers or paper.

3. REMOVABLE. You can change the look and style of your child's helmet easily. My decals are removable. Once applied, they can be removed by working the edges off with your fingernail and peeling off,and will not leave traces of sticky residue such as what might be experienced with plain stickers.

APPLICATION & CARE

1. OUT OF THE PACKAGE: Your decals will arrive with elements individually pre-cut, with transfer tape already applied on top. When you are ready to apply your decal to the surface of the helmet, simply peel off the backing that protects the sticky side of the decal).

2. APPLYING THE DECAL: Once the backing has been peeled, with the transfer tape facing you and the sticky side exposed, apply the decal to desired location on the surface of the helmet, using a credit card to press out any air bubbles from the decal. After the decal has been firmly pressed down, peel off the transfer tape. (*Note: If you are painting and/or sealing your helmet beforehand, wait until the helmet has fully dried before applying the decal to prevent surface paint from peeling and minimize the need for paint touch-ups) . Seal with multiple coats of Mod Podge. **Please be aware that Babbleworthy decals are handpieced vinyl art lovingly made to order. Naturally, the application process will thus be different from the decal application process for mass produced, single color, or printed decals, and will require extra care and patience in applying! Your understanding and support of this independent form of artistry is truly appreciated.**

3. PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT: To help prevent chipping and damage to your decals, the helmet must be resealed regularly with ModPodge. This can be anywhere from every other week for a very sedentary baby, to upwards of 2x a week if your child is especially active. Decals that are left unsealed, or with ModPodge that has worn off, are vulnerable to damage. I do provide a few duplicate elements in case some decals need to be replaced, but being proactive with sealing will help keep the decals looking their best
