How to Make Your Own Guitar Hero Skins

Handmade

• 1

  Create your design on a sheet of paper. Allow space for the strum and whammy bar as well as any buttons that are unique to your version of the guitar.

• 2

  Note on your designs the colors you wish to use and positioning on the guitar. Your skin does not need to cover the entire body or head stock of the guitar.

• 3

  Place a sheet of sticker paper onto the body of your guitar. Sketch an outline of the guitar on the paper to guide you in transferring your design.

• 4

  Draw your design onto the sticker paper with pencil. Make any changes to the design before coloring it.

• 5

  Add color to your design using markers or paint pens. Avoid using colored pencils as they will not stand out on the sticker paper.

• 6

  Cut out your design. Place the design on your guitar to once again check the sizing. Trim the edges as needed.

• 7

  Remove the sticker paper from its backing and place it onto your guitar. Smooth the skin from one edge to the other to prevent bubbles from forming.
