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

[abbydancer]

This is probably a dumb question, but how do I separate the band? I have a practice one I bought on ebay, and I can't figure out how to get the black/gray part off. I have a small wrist, and we have two kids in our group, so we'll probably have to do that on a few.

Thanks.

Those of you who have decorated your band and have used them to get into the park, when you cover the mickey head with nail polish or paint or whatever, did it still work? I posted a picture of the bands I decorated with stickers and the first response I got to them was "You can't have anything covering the mickey head. They'll make you buy a new band or remove the stickers." Yet most of the pictures I find have something over the mickey head and have yet to hear anyone say they couldn't get into the parks because of it.

They work perfectly fine, I had no problems. Sounds like the only problem is if you use something metallic over the head(as in a piece of metal). The disney cast members all think they are great, not one ever said 'you shouldn't do that', they all say 'howd you do that, I want one'...so as most of our mottos are now...DO IT! and have fun with it.

Did our bands last night. Not thrilled with the tattoo bands because even after sealing them and letting them sit they still kind of cracked... DS's band bothers the crap out of me but he loves that it's not "clean" looking and says that it looks like the avengers are "coming off of a comic book page" but hey I don't need to wear it right?. Mine (blue) is my fav. Was going for a pixie dust sort of feel and I love how it turned out! DH duct taped his on his own

Here is the first band for our trip!

This is my first post, working on learning how the pictures work lol

Your link isn't working.

You can't post a photo until you have a certain number of posts. I think it is 15, but I could be wrong.

So many great bands since the last time I visited this thread! I love it! I also love getting stopped so people can look at our bands when we go to WDW! Guests and cast members- and a few people have asked to take pictures! I suspect over the next year or so we will see a lot more decorated bands.

We went to the Frozen Summer Celebration and looked at the decorated bands for sale. My daughter said she liked the one I made for her better!

I used duct tape for that one.

I have that duck tape, how did you do it? Apply the tape and then use a razor blade?

Here's my band!

t started as a gray band and now it's purple! I'm still considering taking off the gray portion. Since cutting it down, it fits even better but I can see that it would fit great with removing the outer band.

I love the purple! They really should make purple bands....it seems to be a popular color.

I see that you wear the band kind of snug. I like that fit, but not all the time, particularly not in the heat here in FL right now, so I don't think that I would like it without the outer band.

With DH's he just put the tape on then used and exacto knife to cut off around the area's he wanted

I applied the duct tape and then used a small eyeglass screwdriver to go around the edges. It was very easy to do!

Thank you, I've only used stickers and mod podge, no metal. It just kind of soured the experience for me when that was the first comment made about it, and pretty much the only one. So maybe I'll post the pictures here. I have very little drawing talent, so they're not the greatest looking, but we like them. I just wanted to check with another group.

Please post your photos here...the more the merrier! It is so inspiring to see all of the different bands.

Finally have a visit planned for next year and thinking about decorating the bands. SWMBO loves Mrs. Incredible. Any thoughts on the best color band or how to decorate? Neither of us can draw a straight line with a ruler or are particularly creative.

If I do mine I will probably go with Grumpy or Statler and Waldorf. Any thoughts on that?

OK, so here are the two bands we've decorated so far (my mom & hubby haven't decorated theirs yet). The yellow one is mine and the red one is my 2yo son's. Sorry the pictures are so big!

I desperately want to decorate mine but I'm not creative or artistic so I'm sure it won't happen

Those are really fun! You should have no problems using them. The only problem that might come up is lining yours up with the sensor, since it is a little hard to see where the Mickey head is, but after a couple of uses you will get a feel for it and should be fine.

Those are cute! I was at Wal Mart the other day and they had some really cute Frozen duct tape that would look great on a band!!

Aww, I didn't think about duct tape, but I got some of the stickers at walmart and some at party city.

lol @ posting spree. I am glad that you only needed to post 10, not 15.

I love this band. Looking forward to seeing the others.
