 I have been using testers decal maker set. It has a starter set with the spray can decal bonder and a few pages of clear and white decal water slide paper. You prink a picture with an ink jet printer then spray 3 or 4 coats of the bonder. The printers don't print white so the white paper becomes the white color. The clear paper is kinda translucent. Shows through and the colors are not thick enough to hide the backside but they can be layered with multiple images. The entire page is waterslide so what you cut out will be a decal so trimming to the edge of the picture is needed. They can be finicky and take some practice but are a good solution when there is no other way. I have seen the starter sets at hobby/ craft stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby and even in Walmart by their model paints, glues and brushes. From 8-13 dollars
