Abstract
The present invention is for a kit containing components for making decorated adhesive bandages. The kit comprises: a) at least one adhesive bandage comprising a backing, an adhesive layer on one side thereof and an absorbent pad affixed to the adhesive; and b) at least one decorative element selected from adhesive stickers and adhesive tattoos. The decorative element comprises a substrate, a decorative pattern thereon and an adhesive layer. The decorative element is designed to be securely fixed to the upper surface of the bandage. The decorative element is separate from and unsecured to the bandage in the kit. The decorative elements are preferably stickers. By carefully selecting and matching the materials in the bandages and the decorative elements, decorative bandages that are flexible, conformable, and contain a decoration that is resistant to delamination under wet and dry conditions may be custom-made by the consumer at point-of-use.
