Decaling for Newbies
___________________________________________________________

    Hello, I just thought of not too long ago when I was new to Lego customizing and I had LOTS of questions, so I thought of writing this tutorial that tells you how to print out your decals and what to put on them to make them shiny and to make them stick without special paper.

    So, you just logged on to MCN the first time and see some great customs and decals that you would really like for your own, so, you resize them and get ready to print them when you ask yourself.. "Well how am i gonna get these darn decals on my figs, and how are they supposed to shine and not look like regular paper? " (or something like that) Well, do i have the guide for you..

 First you print those bad boys and cut them (but dont cut them individually yet) now for a semi cheap and easy way to make your decals into stickers and shiny is coming up!

    Firstly, you need to go down to Target or a crafts store and pick yourself up one of these babies!    *another pic*  

This is a XYRON create-a-sticker sticker creater, they only cost about 8 bucks and the refils cost about 3 bucks. you just cut the decals on normal printer paper into a strip like this one and slide it into the XYRON X-box, now you pull them out and take the outer layer of plastic stuff. Then, you get some clear packing tape and put on elarge strip over all of your desired decals. then you press down the tape and cut the individual decals out. you then take off the backing of the sticker and -voila- you have yourself a decal you then just stick the decal to your fig and you're done!
