Have you ever taken a look at your plain notebook or blank computer and said to yourself, “Huh. I wish I could decorate this somehow…”
Well, look no further! In just a few minutes, you can make some stickers to customize anything that you want! It’s super quick and easy, and only takes a few supplies.
“Sticker making is easy to do… I got the process down in just a few minutes, and it’s really fun,” sophomore Alexandria Carlson said. She has been making stickers for a few months now, and says that she really enjoys it.
The easiest way to make stickers with a minimal amount of supplies is to use wax or parchment paper, clear packing tape, scissors, and the design you want to use.
To begin, you will need to cut a square of parchment paper out. Make sure that it fits the design that you want to make into a sticker.
Next, lay down a piece of packing tape on top of the parchment paper. Make sure that it doesn’t overlap, and that there’s a border of parchment paper between the tape. If the design you’re making is wider than the packing tape, you can use multiple pieces of tape for the sticker. This might make a crease in the tape, but it’s not that noticeable.
After that, lay your design on the tape. Add another layer of tape on top of the design to seal it all in.
Lastly, cut around the edges of the sticker. Leave a small border of parchment paper at one of the edges so it will be easy to peel off and stick.
“I think I can make a sticker in two or three minutes,” Carlson said. “The process is easy to understand and not hard to follow once you have it.”
However, freshman Sophia Rush doesn’t think this process would be fun or easy. While she has never made a sticker, she isn’t sure she wants to.
“No, I don’t think I’d enjoy it. The tape would be too sticky for me to really have fun with it,” Rush said.
Rush also says that this doesn’t seem like something she could do in a short amount of time, and that she guesses that it would take about 30 minutes to make just one sticker.
This, however, is not true. Once you have the process down, you could make a sticker in just a couple of minutes. You can be an expert in sticker making with just a few tries.
Making stickers is an easy and fun activity to do when you’re bored. It’s also a good gift idea for people you’re close with, since homemade gifts can really make someone’s day.
