I just got my daughter a Samick Sage for her 11th birthday and I think she likes it well enough as-is but I'd like to "pretty it up" for her and make it a little more unique. I'm already thinking a custom colorful string and maybe some pink or purple silencers, if I can find some for her. :dunno:
What other suggestions do y'all have for me? Is there something I could do to the riser to stain the lighter wood? Any other suggestions?

Thanks for that suggestion! Couple of pink camo limbsation options there and a LOT of options for doing up her arrows.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
If you go to the Janns Netcraft web site you can get rubber fishing lure skirt material to make cat whisker silencers. It is very cheap and comes in every color imaginable(including pink), even some with sparkles,
Beth Windauer painted flowers on my daughters longbow handle. She loved it.
I let my daughter take sharpies to her bow. She put different patterns and flowers on it made it hers, then hit w a coat of satin from a shaker can. Its hers and she still loves it 5yrs later, along w a custom string, and silencers she made out of yarn. Todd

^ This would be my first thought! They have a lot of really cool options!
Stickers and paint could pretty it up and make it personal to boot.
Girl it up? As a married man with 3 daughters and 1 out numbered son, here's my suggestion.
Step 1. Get 6 strings in 6 colors.
Step 2. Put one string on and see how it looks in the mirror.
Step 3. Go back upstairs.
Step 4. Wait 20 minutes.
Step 5. Try another string and see how it looks in the mirror.
Repeat steps 2 thru 5 on remaining strings. Ultimately choose first string you put on.

That sounds EXACTLY right!!!!!
Yep!!! LOL
pink wool silencers (or what ever her favorite color is)http://www.onestringer.com/mods/Products/itemimg/pink%20woodland.jpg
I put red woolies of my grandaughter's Sage and she likes them better than my old black ones. I'll make you a pair and mail them to you if you PM me your address. Sorry I don't have pink.
You can always add really cool color arrows that will add to the bow, even if the bow changes are minor.
don't forget the pink feather fletching.

Red, I'll run the red color by her and see if that's one of her favorite colors this week. Lol. Either way, that's a very generous offer, Thank you!

Tweet to Twitter followers that you SO put Katniss Everdeen to shame.
Hope you don't mind, I fixed this for you.
Give her some options and let her fix it up herself if that's what she wants.
I would ask her to help you choose some decorations, then have a local artist paint the back of it with a design of her choice. Throw in some pink catwhiskers or wool yarn puffs and some pretty arrows to match her paint job (maybe wraps the colors of her painted design and pink feathers). It would be as prissy as possible.
I got some pink zebra striped duct tape and "skinned" a bow for my granddaughter. She loves it. I used the same stuff for arrow wraps and use pink feathers..
Good luck!
Get a pack of pink cap wrapss (for arrows) and cut whatever shapes you want to stick all over the bow. I used a large hole punch to make lots of dots, then used dots to make a design. Include her and let her have fun.

My daughter shot a bow for years when she was little. No "girling it up" involved. Different world I guess. I even see pink Smith & Wessons now.
