Has anyone decorated their Magic Bands? Please show us the pictures!

@mizarmour I think you'll be able to post pictures after you've posted 15 times on the board. After 10 you may post an avatar, so it should go pretty quickly. Just go hop into some conversations and that post count will go up fast! Can't wait to see how you customized your Magic Bands!

Thank you all for this thread, my kids and I were in awe of your talent and creativity in regards to your Magic Band decorations! We're a house full of artists so we're all raring to get ours! Well, my husband not so much. He's a comic book artist and is unsure if he'll even decorate his band. To each their own though. Thank you for sharing your wonderful works with the rest of us!

Thanks for all the great ideas! I love reading this thread. I'm not very artistic, so I resorted to nail polish and adhesive rhinestones. I wanted to post the pictures, but I'm a newbie and don't know how.

As someone else said, I think you need more posts before you can do it, but then it's actually very easy. In the lower right corner of the reply window, one of the buttons is for "upload a file". You just click it and follow the instructions for "choose file" to find the photo on your computer and post it. It will ask you whether you want full size (shows right up in the post) or thumbnail (small pic people can click on to see).

And welcome!

I just got mine a few days ago. I picked up a package of Toy Story temporary tatoos and I have several 3 oz bottles of acrylic paint including clear coat that my wife uses for crafting. I will be decorating next week some time.

I will post a few pictures when done!

I'm not much of an artist, but here is my effort

This is how I decorated ours. I have been doing it since they first came out. I never knew that so many others do it.

@Madmother love the flowers!

@Dudetrue those are gorgeous! The pink is my favorite! Can't wait to have MagicBands those are new since we were last at WDW!

 

[Dudetrue]

Thanks. I bought inexpensive temporary tattoos and cut them all apart. They are Frozen themes. I drew a few extra lines. I added sparkle nail polish in a few spots. Then I added the crystal blings. Then I covered all with a coat of clear nail polish. It all cost about $3.

@Dudetrue fantastic and very inexpensive they look brilliant!

My 9 year old son has designed his 3 times since yesterday...keep in mind we've never had them before. He was 5 on our last trip to Disney World, so I fully expect him to be right alongside me in planning this one!

Tonight I grabbed some temporary tattoos from Hot Topic and decorated my and DH's band. I am pretty impressed with myself actually and it was much easier than expected. I am going to finish them off with clear polish tomorrow !

My daughter and I decorated our bands using vinyl stickers we purchased online and fingernail polish for the trim color.

Just finished up my Magicband.
I used white nail polish and the Cinderella temporary tattoos I got from Kohls (pictured below).

Just finished working on mine for the 24hr trip! (the fireworks have sparkle over but doesn't show up well in photo)

@Madmother love the flowers!

Thanks............I thought the flowers appropriate since I planned this trip specifically for the Flower and Garden Festival!

Love this. Can you please tell me where did you get the castle and fireworks? Did you draw it yourself or is it a decal or tattoo?

 

[Glittercat]

I'm a painter and have even played with and used nail polish to paint my old wheelchair back and then flowers inside the guard rails, but on MagicBands LOVE the look of the temporary tattoos over the nail polish! Yesterday we started collecting sparkly tattoos for our bands.

Sorry back on this thread after a long while... but as an update we did fine with the jibbitz and our decorated bands while on our trip last summer. The decorations didn't cause any issues!

Now we are going again this summer and planning to decorate some new bands so I am looking for new ideas!

So here are our bands! We leave today!!
