How to Make DIY Stickers
Here’s a quick video that shows how these stickers are made. Read on for the detailed instructions.
- Draw and color your sticker design on a piece of paper or cardstock. Cardstock stickers are sturdier, but less flexible than regular paper.
- Cut out the sticker design with scissors.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper and lay it on the table. Cut a piece of clear packing tape that is longer than your sticker design is wide. Place the tape sticky side down on the parchment paper. NOTE: If making larger stickers that are taller than one piece of tape, slightly overlap rows of packing tape until you have a large enough piece.
- Place the cut out sticker design on top of the tape on the parchment paper, design side up.
- Cover the sticker design with packing tape, sticky side down.
- Cut out the sticker leaving at least 1/8” border of clear tape around the logo. This keeps the sticker pieces together.
