What would it look like if Louis Vuitton made a goalie stick? Probably something like this. And learning how to do it will be one of my simplest tutorials ever.
The first thing you need to decide is what color you want to be your undercoat (the color you want the actual LV logo to be). In this case I chose a light brown. After you dye your head that color, you can place pre-cut decals on the head (after the stick dries).
You can purchase these decals – or any decals, for that matter – yourself. Any decals you ever want to use for a dye job you can get yourself from a graphics shop or custom decal dealer. When you search, you’ll be looking for vinyl decals.
Quick tip: Before doing the dye job please test your decals. Depending on where you get them from, some work very well and others aren’t as adhesive and allow the color to bleed.
Once you’ve placed the decals to your liking on the head of your stick, dye the stick your secondary color – in this case a deeper brown. Stick the head in the freezer for a few minutes and when you take it out, just pop off your decals and you’ll have your custom head. Check out the very simple steps below:
After decals are added, dye your head:
Peel decals off and admire your end product:

man this is raw as hell i’m get a helix and dying it soon but man i can’t find anywhere to buy the decals where i live (palm coast) but i’m dying it pink and the loius decals would put it on another level so if you could help me out be greatly apperiated
where did you get your decals from. I have tried to find some custom places to do them but they say they cant cut them small enough so I end up doing them with and exacto knife and electrical tape
I got them cut at a place called driven graphics in arlington VA. i provided the design file and the vinyl and they cut the stickers and pulled it, which means they left just the pattern. A square yard cost me $50! Way too expensive to do regularly.
