Location: Silver Lake, MN | I want to add some bling to my helmet...sick of the boring look. But I have never done anything like this before. I am finding a lot of adhesive bling online that you can cut or apply idividually. Anyone try anything like this yet? Or anyone who has worked with those products have any ideas what would work best? |

Individual crystals with E6000 adhesive. That stuff is strong!! |

Location: Silver Lake, MN | I was just reading and they said some will compromise the integrity of the helmet...so might need to do a little more research on this as some adhesives were okay it looked like per manufacturer specs. Thank you!! |

| I have blinged my daughter's helmet before. I found my supplies at Hobby Lobby. I found a triple row of bling that matched the color of her helmet. It was very easy to apply along the crease of the helmet. Then she found 3 small flowers that had velcro on them. I glued the velcro to the helmet and stuck the flowers to it. It lasted 5 almost 6 years. She outgrew the helmet before the bling wore out. She had many compliments on the helmet. |

That is what I was worried about...I suppose you would see more out there if you could. Just trying to find a way to customize and make them a little fancier! |

I tried to get Rodeo Drive to do some blinged out helmets for me to sell years ago and the glue that would actually hold the crystals on ate the plastic. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Find a T-Shirt shop or someone with a vinyl making business and ask for some custom graphics. You can also call a vinyl vehicle wrap place and they can wrap the whole helmet with whatever design you want.  |

You could try the E600 and just add a few crystals and see what happens. That glue is much weaker then the glue that Rodeo Drive uses. |

I did think about this option as well. My dad offered to paint it as well but again I'm worried as they are not as hardy as like a motorcycle helmet for instance. LOL. I need to do some research. Thank you for all the help guys! |

I'd be happy to create a custom vinyl design for you. I can send you some examples of some of my work if you're interested. |
