Custom Window Appliques?

Does anybody know of a way to make your own vinyl window stickers?

I need a turkey for my rear window on my truck... I'm thinking of some kind of sticky sheet of paper that I can cut out a shape from? Anybody know where I can get something like that?

You can take most any picture you want to a sign shop, they just scan it in and print it on the decal. Not all that expensive either, thats how I put my business logo on my rental trailers.

Don't they sell the sheets to make stickers at Staples? I know they have T-Shirt iron on's, business cards and a million different label sheets.
Only thing is that if you took the design to a sign shop you can be assured you are getting the "good stuff".

I'm working on the decal right at this moment...

I'll have pictures up in an hour or so.

I don't know about the "The Incubator" lettering that I want to put in the window too though... That might take a bit longer...

And of course my avatar's a turkey! What else could be the proper symbol of the Americanist party? Duh...

Well, that didn't work...

I couldn't get the plastic film stuff to adher to the window without any bubbles, and then all of the toner started flaking off of the plastic.

So I guess I'll need to stop by the sign shop and let the professionals do it...

You're not going to believe this, but that's exactly what I have on the For Sale sign hanging from my ladder rack.
