Step 3The Adhesive (cont.)
This part can be vital to how your sticker sticks. Not ever stroke will reach the end of the page, if it does then you've probably put too much on. Longways should take about three strokes and shortways should take two. Once you've covered the sheet make sure the coat is even on every sticker and that they're all coated. When that layer is dry brush on another layer of adhesive perpendicular to the direction of your first layer and let that dry.
Once dry to the touch, the sheets will probably be a little warped. Put them under a stack of books or heavy objects to flatten them out.

I don't remember exactly, haven't made 'em in a while. Probably around an hour depending on how thick you put on each layer.

You can just use a hairdryer, worked fine for me. only took about 5-10 minutes for a light coat.

The design is the hardest part. But keep in mind you dont need to be artistic to make a good sticker. :)

so the adhesive is what makes the stickers stick to stuff? well how do you prevent it from sticking to anything while your not putting it on something?

1st Layer of adhesive gets brushed on long ways down the page. 2nd Layer gets brushed on short ways. The adhesive gets on the paper all the same, this just ensures a nice even coat. One thing I forgot to mention is if you put more adhesive on it's likely to stick to rougher surfaces (i.e. a porous concrete wall)
