I use this method to cap and crest my hunting arrows. First I stain them and apply a coat of lacquer.

While the white lacquer was drying, I built a makeshift cresting machine using my cordless drill.

These arrows will have cresting that was white, black and silver.

I start with the black stripes.

And then the silver bands.

Wraps are nice and easy but for a more custom look, I like to do it this way.
