small cuts around the edge of the sticker. (less than an inch long). This allows the flat sticker to stretch and overlap a little where its needed so it will form to the round helmet.

when you peel the front part of the diecuts off peel it completely back over itself, not up at an angle at all. and dont try and just put it all on at once and then try to peel the front off, cuz that defeats the purpose of the diecuts to not get wringly. you have to put different parts of a sticker on at a time, starting with loops in the design and ending with shapes that just reach a dead end

i did that minus 3 very small ones

the key is to just go slow and if u get holes. poke a small hole in the hole with an exacto knife to get rid of the air inside

yeah take scissors and cut slits into it all arround the edges, have the slits go about 1/2 to 1 inch in and there shouldnt be many wrinkles

creative way of putting stickers on? hmmm, well i usualy warm up the stickers so they fit on the helmet better. you can do this by microwaving them for 15-20 seconds depending on size or just boil the for a bit.
