Make Your Own Stickers

Do you ever have something you want to decorate with stickers, but the stickers you find in stores are either really lame or used by everyone? If so, then this Instructable is for you. You can design your own stickers and have them ready for sticking in minutes. In addition to that, all of the supplies you need for creating up to thousands of stickers costs less than $15. So follow this simple Instructable and you will be a sticker making pro in no time.

Step 1: Design Your Sticker

Your first step is to come up with an idea. Once you have a cool idea for a sticker, take a pen or marker (or anything else for that matter) and draw your design on the label paper. This is the hardest step.

These pictures were taken in Israel. The thing that says "14" refers to New Israel Shekel (roughly 1/4 of USD). Also, I'm not even sure what that can is. But very observant of you!

[supermau5]

its says under $15 why is there a $14.95 spray can?

[Metalman000]

Is there an alternative to label paper?

You should think about putting a materials list before drawing. Add label paper, writing utensil, packing tape, and scissors. Other then that, awesome.

Magumbo and Grunger, You can use any sort of label from an office supply store. I had leftover CD labels and used them to make stickers. Also, if you don't want to draw something you can glue (with rubber cement) a design, that you have cut out, to the label paper and then follow through with the other steps. - Punkinpie

hey cool instructable, um after u laminate it, u sorta have a shape wraped in tape, so how do you stick that to ur watever, do u use glue or do u have a way of leaving tape on the edges or sumthin, sorry if its obvious hahah

[Magumbo]

Well you need to draw your picture on Sticker paper. it is paper that comes with an adhesive backing.

thanx lol, i read it like 10 times and missed the "label paper" part, u thought u were using normal paper

[b-train]

hahah label paper, never mind,

[grunger]

do you know where to find label paper?? if you could tell me i would greatly appreaciate it thx grunger

Really nice tutorial! The only thing I'm missing is: the problem with real stickers vs home made ones is that the home made ones tend to fall off after a while. What do you use to make them stick and stay there (like any other sticker will)? What kind/brand of glue? Something else?

[cry_wolf]

If you want to REALLY make them stick, google wheatpaste. The stuff is homemade and is used by tons of graffiti artists for projects like this.

[cowscankill]

I like wheatpaste

[highwaykind]

Thanks!!

[rajarshi]

u can also use a cellotape (thick ) and under side with double sided tape then cut it out. double sided tapes will give a professsional stickinees. for paper, gloss paper will also do nice :)

[fldhkygoalie]

nice dude. i was trying to find a way to prepare my tags before going out (other than a stencil) and i think i found it!

Go to a Kelly Paper store and buy a pack of 100 sheets of permanent adhesive sticker paper to print ur graf onto. it costs about thirty bucks and really dosnt come off flat semi-clean surfaces - fureal, man.

[yodasoda6]

[HIGHVOLTAGE-Z]

[mdmoose29]
