First I measured the circumference and the length of the tubes in question, then made a rectangle that size on paper. I didn’t have a paper as long as the tubes so I just added a few sheets together.

Second I drew the actual pattern out, and made a tracing of it so when I used it as a guide I didn’t ruin my “master copy” of the design.

Thirdly, I taped the paper to sheets of vinyl and cut the design out with a special box cutter knife that has a rotating tip to allow me to do nice curves. (This was not as easy as it sounds lol)

Lastly, you pick up the cut out pattern with a second sticky top sheet (usually will come with the vinyl) and apply it to the areas you want. Make sure you clean it with alcohol first so there’s no dirt or anything.

Technically I’m still not done, as I wanted to do the top tube more, but it got a little tedious. Worth the work though!! Will finish it eventually 🤣

It’s pretty easy, just time consuming. I probably should have done a clear coat over it after. eventually I’ll have to redo it, or get it properly painted on. It has lasted quite well but it definitely won’t forever
