Inkjet Decals

Being that this is a relatively crafty group, does anyone know where to
get the "print your own" inkjet decals? The kind you soak in water &
then slide onto plastic models & things like that? I've tried
Michaels, Office Depot & Office Max.

As a matter of fact, I just bought some of this paper online - commonly
called "waterslide" decals - and they were delivered today. I purchased
from beldecal.com because for $17, I got a 40 page mix of white and clear
papers - I wasn't sure which would be best for my needs (I'm helping
detail the guitar my fiance recently rebuilt).

If you need to buy them locally, I would suggest possibly trying model
train hobbyist stores - decals are popular with them for train
personalization and detailing. I've not had any luck finding them in most
local art stores... though if you go regularly like me, it's worth
checking from time to time to see if anyone has started carrying them..

Lisa, being the uber-crafty goddess, might know more than I about where to
find them locally.. Jen might also know, as she is also super-crafty. :)

Happy crafting!

I hadn't run across this stuff, but I'm going to stash it in my bag of
tricks!
