Make Home Made Stickers

Stickers are everywhere. On signs, on spelling papers, on milk cartons. Being able to make your own sticker- with anything you want on it- would make for a great at-home activity for the creative!

Steps

  1. Lay your sheet of paper on a flat surface.
  2. Draw an outline the width of your tape and desired length of your sticker, as a guide.
  3. Using your colored pencils, create a design within the guidelines.
  4. Tear off a piece of tape in the desired length.
  5. Hold the tape taut and carefully stick it over your drawing.
  6. Press the tape lightly to help transfer the design.
  7. Peel the tape off slowly so the paper doesn't tear.
  8. Stick your homemade sticker wherever you wish.
  9. Finished.



Tips

  • Use clear (translucent) tape, not the slightly opaque tape.
  • When you stick the tape on, be sure you have a little area that is not stuck in place. This is where you will pull it off at.
  • Try your best... you might not get it at first, but it eventually works!!
  • Try different types of drawing tools.
  • Don't press the tape too hard or the paper will rip.

Warnings

  • Try not to use lined paper: it usually is too thin and will rip.
