One of my grand daughters loves the movie Despicable Me 2. So I thought I'd make her a going away to college pen with what else but Minions.

Water slide decals on Holly with a Diplomat from Exotics.

Comments welcome.

Cool. Did you apply CA or did you cast over it?

I turned the holly and sealed it with a few coats of thin CA. I applied the decals then put enough coats of medium CA until I couldn't feel the edge of the decal any more. Make sure you let dry completely before doing the CA finish.

Will you share the source of the decals? I have a 14 y/o that would love a pen like that.

Thanks for the information Dave. I just ordered some liquor decals for my Jim Beam and Jack Danial pens. Considering the cost of decal paper and ink, $2.25 with free shipping was a great deal even if I only use the 4 decals I want... but I'll figure out some way to use the rest of them.

Thanks. I'm glad everyone liked it. Now if I could just get her to make me a pen. After all she's been turning and an IAP member for about 5 years.
