DIY STICKERS!

    Ok so I think it is pretty much impossible to hate stickers. Which is why I decided to make my own! I want some personal and unique stickers to use. I drew up these three drawings. If you would like to use them, their links are under each of them.
For the Vintage Polaroid Camera 1 click here!

For the off chance you have the same name as me and would like this click here!

Or for the 2nd vintage camera click here!


So I put them into photoshop (Microsoft word might also work), and organized them like this:

I wasn't sure exactly what size I wanted them so I tried it several ways. 

Now comes the printing!

It is important that you use this kind of paper to print your stickers on:


Mine is Avery brand and I have no clue where or how it came into our house, but it seems like the same sort of thing can be bought here. It is basically just a piece of paper that can be printed on, then cut out to become a label. Or a sticker, in this case.


Cut out around your sticker. I wasn't too exact because I wanted to make these in bulk and I didn't want it to take infinity.


Now if you cut with the right pressure, you can just peel it right off.


I made some more...


And I used some of them:





Anyways, I think it'll be really cool to make more and more of these in the future!

Hope this helps...

  3. I've never thought of only cutting through the top layer to make a peel-off sheet! Nice!
