How to make sticker

Method 1 of 3: Glue Stickers

1
Design the stickers. When you're making your own stickers, the sky is the limit in terms of design. Use whatever drawing materials you want - colored pencils, markers, pastels, and so on - to draw sticker designs on a thin piece of paper, such as loose leaf paper or paper from a notepad. Consider these creative options when you're thinking up sticker designs:
- Draw a self portrait, or portraits of your friends or pets.
- Cut out neat pictures and words from magazines and newspapers.
- Print out pictures you find online, or pictures you've uploaded to your computer. Print them on thin computer paper, rather than photo paper, for best results.
- Decorate the picture with glitter.
2
Cut out the stickers. Use a scissors or a paper punch to cut out the designs you drew or printed. Make the stickers as large or as small as you like.
3
Make the glue. This glue acts as an adhesive that will bind the stickers to most surfaces. To make it, mix the following ingredients in a bowl until they are thoroughly combined:
- An envelope of plain gelatin
- 4 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup
- A few drops of peppermint extract or vanilla, for flavoring
4
Paint the stickers. Line the stickers up upside down on a sheet of waxed paper or aluminum foil. Use a paint brush or a pastry brush to paint the backs of the stickers with the glue mixture. When you're finished, let the mixture dry completely.
- There's no need to soak the stickers completely with the adhesive; just paint light coating.
- Make sure the stickers are completely dry before you use them.
5
Lick the stickers. When you're ready to stick the stickers to various surfaces, simply lick the back, like you would a stamp, and press them down against the surface for a moment. The homemade glue is quite strong, so be careful where you stick them.

EditMethod 2 of 3: Packing Tape Stickers

1
Cut stickers out of magazines. For this method, you'll need designs that have already been printed on paper with water-resistant ink. You can use shiny magazines or books, or you can experiment with the ink your printer uses to print out designs from your computer.^[2] Cut out pictures and words you like using a pair of scissors. Your only limitation is the width of the packing tape; each sticker should be able to fit one one strip.
2
Cover the sticker designs with packing tape. Cut a piece of clear packing tape large enough to cover an entire cut-out design. Place it on the front of the design that you cut or printed out. Press down so that the tape adheres to the design.
- If your sticker design is to large to be covered by one piece of packing tape, you can use two; however, your finished sticker will have a seam where the two pieces meet.
3
Rub the front of the stickers. Use a penny or your nail to press on the front of the stickers and rub the surface, so that the tape starts to bind with the ink on the paper. Continue for a couple of minutes to ensure that the ink and the adhesive become one.
4
Run the stickers under warm water. One at a time, run them under the water with the paper side facing the stream of water until it begins to fall apart. The ink won't wash away, but the paper should completely dissolve. You can help it along by scratching some away.
5
Let the stickers dry. Once the paper is gone, let the stickers completely dry so that the tape's adhesive will become sticky again. use a scissors to trim away any extra tape around the design, then stick the stickers to the surfaces of your choice.

EditMethod 3 of 3: Sticker Paper Stickers

1
Buy sticker paper. Office supply stores sell paper that has adhesive on one side. It's usually lined with paper backing that you can peel off when you're ready to use the sticker.
- Buy paper that fits the specifications of your printer.
- If you don't have a printer, you can still use sticker paper by drawing your own designs on the surface of the paper.
2
Design your stickers. Design them on your computer or use markers or a pen to draw directly on the surface of your sticker paper. You're only limited by the size of the paper - if you want, you could make an 8 1/2" by 11" sticker!
- Design stickers on your computer using Adobe Photoshop, Paint, or another program that allows you to draw. You could also simply save some photos from your personal album or the internet to use as stickers. When you're finished, print the sticker designs onto the sticker paper.
- Draw directly on the sticker paper with pens, pencils, or even paint. Just make sure you don't get the paper too wet, or it may interfere with the adhesive.
3
Cut out the stickers. Use a scissors to cut out the designs you printed or drew. Cut simple square shapes or give the designs interesting edges.
4
Remove the paper backing. When you're ready to use the stickers, peel away the paper protective the adhesive and stick them to the surface of your choice.
