What I do is scrape the tips on the ground; and recover that with whatever is handy. Then I poke a hole somewhere, cut out a piece in some appealing (at that time) shape out of another color/pattern, and put that on.

This takes MUCH LONGER than all the other ways noted above; but I end up with a truly unique plane that no one else can duplicate.

When I get tired of how it looks, I pull it all off and start over with a white palette (ok a few red or orange stripes for orientation but mostly white).

I also keep pictures of this progression. I hope someday to have a whole series for an exhibit
