I sanded a cane I picked up at a thrift store for $3 and removed the rubber foot.
I used decoupage glue to apply the bands on, and put 2-3 layers of glue over the top.
Once this had dried, I used a spray gloss sealer.
I then put on a new rubber foot $1.97/2 at wally world.
I plan on putting several more layers of sealer on, but it was too cold out to stay outside long enough to do this and it stinks too much to do it indoors.
I plan on finishing it off with a black ribbon from a cigar at the top.
I did not put any bands on the handle so it does not cause irritation to the hand.
That's it.
