I just made them of things I relate to or things that I like, for example, I made on of the eiffel tower since I love paris, and I made one that says bonjour since I love speaking/learning french! There’s also one with my name on it in a cute font, one with my school logo on it, one maryland since im from there, there’s one of the great wave since I love the ocean and that painting in particular, and I also made one of a vw bus since they’re really cute (:

But yeah, those are just some ideas, but you could honestly just make them of things you like/things you relate to

@weirdkiddo || I bought this vinyl sticker paper on amazon for like 11 dollars, and the size is 8.5 by 11 inches, which is the standard paper size. I use a google doc and find pics that I like (it can be logos, sports teams, etc) and I arrange them on a google doc with a decent amount of space between them. If you’re really talented with drawing, you could probably draw your own designs digitally, and print them that way, but I can’t draw so i just use pics of other stuff. Once they’re printed, I let the sheet dry off for about 10-15 mins so that the ink doesn’t smudge. Then, I cut them out roughly. After that, I cut closer to the actual design, and I make sure to leave a border. If you don’t like the border look, you can just cut right against the pictures, but leaving a border is more forgiving if you make a mistake. After that, I just clean whatever surface I’m going to put the stickers on, then I let it dry, and then I put the stickers. And yeah that’s honestly it! It’s super easy and super fun, and I love making them as gifts for other people!

@nev_m_07 Thank you!!!! Stickers are kinda expensive (at least the ones I like) and I’ve always wanted to make my own!

I draw stickers a lot and it's really fun! I usually just do characters/people tho. I probably need some ideas too 😂

@weirdkiddo you can make them with things you already have too! There are lots of YouTube tutorials but I make them by putting down a sheet or parchment paper, then I stick a piece of packing tape on it, then I put my printed or drawn picture on the (not sticky side) tape. Then I cover the picture with another piece of tape so it’s laminated. Then cut out the sticker leaving a border of tape so it stays together. They are pretty durable I have mine on my sketchbook that I take everywhere and it’s still holding up

@weirdkiddo no problem! I like to look up actual sticker designs and just make them instead of buying them.

I have a cricut to make stickers with, and I use it mostly for card making so I use pretty much my own designs and words. When I want stickers for scrapbooking/penpaling or my water bottle or something, I look for designs that are free for personal use. There are also pages of digital designs for stickers you can buy on Etsy and print and use for stickers over and over!

Kind of a boring/simple idea but I think band logo's would be cool to make stickers of (this idea is totally not based off of the fact that I'm in a patch phase and I've only made band related patterns so far and stickers are basically the hard surface version of patches)
