I Want to Make Custom Stickers?

That's a great idea! Making custom stickers can be super fun, and you might even make some money.

How to make custom stickers:

Draw or design: You can draw your pictures or use a computer to create cool designs.
Choose sticker paper: You can find special sticker paper at craft stores. We have two types in the Design Lab: Avery paper sticker and a more robust vinyl plastic material sticker.
Print your design: Carefully print your design onto the sticker paper.
Cut out your stickers: Use scissors or a craft cutter to cut out your stickers.

How to sell your stickers:

Ask friends and family: They might want to buy your stickers!
Set up a sticker stand: You could sell your stickers at our Makers market or a local market.
Online shops: With help from a grown-up, you could sell your stickers online.

Remember, it's important to price your stickers fairly. Good luck!

Step-by-Step Process

Draw your pictures

You can draw pictures using inspiration from research. Watching a video on how to draw can be helpful. You can also trace a simple picture, such as clip art or a silhouette.

Hint: You will have better results using white paper and bold artwork.

Google: Clip Art or Silhouette

4. Cut & Share

Hint: You may wish to give extra space around your pictures to make cutting easer.

5. Testing Your Design

Feedback is super essential for a sticker business! Here's why:

Knowing what people like: Feedback helps you understand what designs people prefer. Maybe they love your cute animals but aren't keen on your outer space ones.
Improving your stickers: If someone doesn't like something about your sticker, it's a chance to improve it! Maybe the colours are too bright, or the sticker isn't sticky enough.
Making people happy: When you get positive feedback, it feels great! It means you're making people happy with your stickers.
Growing your business: People who like your stickers might tell their friends. This can help your business grow.

So, always ask your customers what they think!

Have Fun!
