Designing a helmet

We're still a month or so away from Calina's first helmet, but I'm already brainstorming about cool ways to decorate it. We had such good luck with the vinyl stickers we used on our shop's window (they're like auto decals), I'm thinking we might try getting some awesome design printed up to adhere to the helmet. (Waterproof, fade-resistent in the sun...)

Thought I'd post some brainstorming... some images I've come across that are inspiring. I'll need to come up with something that has a transparent background... But the helmet I get might have a background color like pink, purple, or blue... I'll have to find out more. :)

So, I could try to come up with something intricate like this (just without the background, and spreading out in more finger-like patterns...)


Or I could go with some sort of repeating pattern... Maybe as simple as bright polka dots or something. I could spend a REALLY long time trying to work out something like these:







Cute stuff, right? :)

  2. How about something safari related like her bedding, with giraffes and monkeys and trees?

  4. Good news (?) is that she'll probably have at least 3 helmets to decorate, so each one can be different. :)
