Saga die cuts

This may be a dumb question, but how would I put a saga die cut on my helmet? I cannot figure this one out. I know the back piece of paper peels off but I don't know what to do after that.

IT'S IMPOSSIBRU

no actually, i've tried three different times and it's INCREDIBLY difficult because of the curvature of the helmet

i've seen other peoples with them on theirs and they have no creases in the sticker, i'm also curious as to how they did it.

Oh my god guys, just help the newb out.


1.Remove paper backing
2. Place the rest on helmet
3. fold back a corner of the plastic sheet
4. Peel it back and try your best to try not to make the actual die cut come up with the plastic.

It takes time, you'll get better at it.

I put mine on just fine. Put it on the side where its generally flatter than the rest of your helmet.

Also, put a lighter up to it if it crinkles, itll shrink it and make it fit better, just be careful.

1. Remove paper backing. 2. Place rest of sticker on helmet 3. Take credit card and press down hard on decal. 4. Slowly remove plastic covering..

I always lightly melt my die-cuts on anything. It really seems to help too. Don't do it too much though.

Also when you're about to place the sticker on, work from one side to the other and press it as you go with something to make sure you don't get any air bubbles.

I'm going to try and put a saga one on my helmet now. I'll be back.

What you have to do is press it down till you start to see a crease form then cut the the forming crease wit a scissors and flatten the now 2 ends of the diecut by overlapping them. It works well if you understand what I'm saying

Threads, I can never get them on right. Saga needs to make smaller diecuts.

Mine didn't turn out so great but here's a pic. It's the best I could do. It's all melted on so it's all set!

at the bottom is just glare not wrinkle. I only had the script ones left which made it even harder, especially on my really round helmet. Oh well, I think it turned out alright. I cut the creases at some points with an X-acto n=knife. That made it so much easier too.

i wasted like 3 saga stickers when trying to put them on my helmet, they always got fucked up because of the curve in the helmet, smaller saga die cuts are necessary
