If you want to make a REAL MESS with this, decide to throw the top in the washer through a gentle cycle to let the pieces get soggy and wet.... then they are too wet to pull off, you have to let the whole thing dry, the paper is stuck like with glue to the fabric, you have paper bits all over the front to pick off with your fingernails one at a time......need I say more????? JUST DON'T EVEN CONSIDER DOING THIS!!!!! (Guess how I know this!!!!)
