How to Make a Quick Sticker

Lately a lot of people have asked me how to create stickers out of my graphic design creations in my Etsy shop, Sunshine Ink.  At this point I don't sell anything that is designed to print on template labels, so here is my own way of creating fast stickers from the graphics that I design.  It's so easy and I'll show you how.



The purchase of my trusty rusty Xyron machine years ago turned out to be such a great crafting investment. I often choose to create stickers out of it but it can also laminate and create magnets depending on the cartridges used.  This is what I use to create quick and easy stickers.  




We are having an Easter egg hunt party for all of Avery's little playmates and I decided to use my Easter egg cucpake toppers/party favors as stickers for this project.  I printed the file at Kinko's for $1.30 and then punched out all 12 circles with a 2" circular paper punch (from Michael's).  

After that I ran then through my Xyron machine, which just needs the turn of a crank to push the paper circles through.  I did two side by side to save a little paper.  When it's done the circles are sandwiched between two layers of paper. 



Next, I peeled the papers apart, revealing my new stickers.  


Finally I finished up my bunny invites with a cute matching sticker.  It's in the details y'all.  



Refer back to the graphic with the handy steps to help you and after a few practice stickers, you'll have it down in no time.  

Get yourself a Xyron too, they are so amazing.

Fun! I've always wondered how you go about making your own stickers.
