See how a hipinahurry vinyl sticker became a Genzo Bento Box. First we scanned in the super large sticker (before i put it on the trunk). Changed a few things, color wise and clothe wise.





I then printed it out added a few more lines in the hair and jacket. trimmed it and scanned it back in, re-adjusting the colors and printing it out on lazer tran decal paper(My next box i will use plain paper) I hit it with a coat of Super Surface Sealer(I prefer to use sprays on top of inkjet artwork as it bleeds less), let it dry , and then tossed it into the water to seperate the decal. I had already prepared a bento box for the decal. The puti-fresh decoration on the lid was scrubbed off with a brillo pad, manual scrubbing and water. we placed the decal on the dry lid and let it dry. As usual, we had fun with air bubbles. we presse from the center out. but still had some had to be popped with a pin and smoothed out. The dried decal curled up on the edges so i used modpodge to paste the edges down. After it dried, i decorated it with the jewel drop(i used urethane glue to paste it) and glitter glue on the edges. Tonight, i'll give it a few more coats of mod podge. That way it can be washed with a soft cloth. No brillo pads! ;D
