METHOD #1:How To Make DIY Stickers?

For the first method of creating DIY stickers, you will need

• sticker paper.
• self-adhesive laminating sheet
• and an optional Cricut machine.

Let’s get started:

Start by creating designs firstly on an app called procreate pocket. It is a procreate app that you can download with an iPad but, you can also use this version on your phone. It is more practical to use.

After you have Your Design of DIY Sticker:

After creating your sticker designs, save the images as png. Then, upload them to the Cricut design space. Save them as complex images, then select the print and cut option. Click on the green button to save. Repeat this process for all of your sticker pictures. Now, select them and insert them into your canvas. In order to get the most out of your sticker sheets, click on the shapes and select square. Adjust the size to 7 inches wide by 9 inches long.

Size Adjustments are Crucial in DIY Stickers Creation:

Now place your images inside the rectangle and adjust the size to your liking. Once you get them to fit in your desired size, select them and click on the flat button at the bottom. Delete the shape edge created earlier, and your images should stay attached. Now you can click on the green button to make your sticker. Insert your sticker paper into your printer and select the send to the printer button. Once you have printed it, the sheet should have a black border around the images.

Next, take the self-adhesive laminating sheets to make the stickers look shiny. After that, measure your laminate onto the stickers and cut it to the correct size. Peel off the top portion and stick it to the top of the sticker sheet to make sure you are only covering the inside of the black lines. Use Cricut to get rid of the bubbles. Peel the laminate back and use the tool to smooth it down.

Continue doing this until you cover all of your stickers. Now you can put it on your Cricut mat and smooth it down. Make sure to change the setting of the machine to card stock and add extra pressure. Load your mat into the cutting machine and press start to cut your sticker. You can also cut these stickers by hand if you like and leave white borders around. Once your Cricut machine has done cutting, unload your mat and peel off your stickers.

METHOD #2:

For this method, we will make stickers without a Cricut machine. You will need

• parchment or wax paper
• clear packaging tape
• and regular printing paper

After that, add all of your DIY stickers to google doc and adjust the sizing. Print the images on regular printing paper when you finish adjusting the size. Cut out your sticker designs. Make sure to leave the white order borders around. Now take a sheet of parchment paper and lay it flat on your table.

Then take a strip of clear packaging tape and lay it over the parchment paper. Continue adding more tape until you cover the entire piece of parchment paper. Place your images on top of it and add another layer of tape. Trim out the excess and cut around the images leaving the border of tape around the edges so that they will stick. Peel off the wax paper, and they should be able to stick anywhere you would like.

METHOD # 3:

For this method, you don’t need a Cricut machine or printer. All you need is

• printing paper
• parchment paper
• clear packaging tape
• markers

This method is similar to the last one. But, instead of printing the images, you can sketch them yourself with markers or drawing pencils. Once you have finished sketching, you can cut them out. Make sure you leave the white border. Take a piece of parchment paper and cover it with clear tape as we did earlier. Lastly, cut them out. Leave a frontier of adhesive tape around them. And when you peel them off, they will look bright and shiny.

METHOD # 04:How To Make DIY Stickers?

You can make your own homemade glue for making stickers this way. This glue is safe for kids as it is free of chemicals. To make home-made gelatin glue, you need:

• Plain gelatin

You can use drawing utensils of different shapes and make attractive stickers using markers, crayons, pastels, etc. Use thin paper like paper from a notepad for best results. You can also use your portraits, cut images that you like in magazines, or download captivating designs found on the internet.

Cut your stickers with a scrapbook scissor. You can also use regular scissors if you don’t have one. Now make the glue by mixing all the ingredients mentioned above. Store it in a jar, bottle, or container and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. You will have to place the bottle containing your glue in a bowl of hot water when you need to apply it as it turns into a gel after refrigerating.
