How I Make Stickers | DIY Stickers

I've had so many people ask me how I turn my artwork into stickers, and I feel like I've FINALLY gotten it down to enough of a science (kind of?) to show you guys how I make it happen! Read on for a step by step process of how I turned these fish drawings into cute little stickers!

First Step: Obviously you gotta draw something! I sketch with red lead pencils because it doesn't smudge as much and it doesn't show as much in the scan/photo. For this drawing, I used copic markers to color around the sketch, and then Faber-Castell Pens to make the outlines.

Step Two/Three: After I was happy with the drawing, I took a photo of it and sent it to my computer. I then took it into the silhouette software, set the paper to 8.5x11 with registration marks, and used the "Trace" tool on each of the fish separately. I brought the threshold up to almost 100% and then clicked the "Trace & Detach". You can then go to the "Offset" tool, and you'll see a red line come up around the drawing. That's what the cutter will use to cut the sticker out!

Step Four: Print your stickers! Make sure you print the page with the registration marks when you print! I use the glossy weather-proof paper or the matte weather-proof paper from Online Labels!

​Step Six: Cut your stickers! Use the cut settings that correspond to the paper you use (For Online Labels, use the settings outlined on the website.)

Thank you for teaching us how to make a sticker. I can see that it requires too much process, but I am still willing to learn it because it require creativity! First, you need to lay out a design. Coming up with a design for your sticker has to be personal or either commercial, according to what's your reason why you are going to make a sticker. In your case, your designs are just too exceptional. I am utmost willing to spend something for the stickers you are going to sell!

Nevertheless, a few minor flaws mean that it can not yet take the first place in this ranking despite its lower price: connectivity a little limited, lack of a more complete video mode.
