Andrew, Do you have access to a computer with MicroSoft Word and also an Inkjet printer? If so, you can make your own stickers with a special type of Avery inkjet paper. Let me know and I'll tell you more.

Avery clear full sheet labels, Product # 8665
Scan or capture the image you want, send it to MS word, size/customize and print. After it is done printing, use a good clearcoat spray to seal the ink and protect from fingerprints. Try not to use your fingers when applying,because you can see prints after the decal is applied. Only one drawback, you can not print white, therefor you can use the Avery white sheet labels, and trim closely to the image when applying. ENJOY

No, It's very easy - that Avery paper has to be used on an InkJet printer. I use Krylon's Crystal Clear to lock in the ink before cutting a applying. Another tip is to print the decals on regular paper first and figure out what size and where to place them. Then once you have the boat looking good, replace the mock-ups with the final prints. Here's a sample of how it turns out - all homemade decals on this boat. First pic shows boat with B&W mockups, second shows final...good luck!

Heres an eaiser way to crop pictures. Right click your picture you want to make a sticker. Click save picture as then save it to a file that you'll remember. Open the file and find the picture. Then open it. Right click the picture and click on Copy then open Microsoft paint. Go up to edit and click on paste. That will paste the pic and then you can crop stuff out eaiser and can change colors add words or delete parts of the pic.
