Many do not realize how truly simple and low-cost it is to make your own stickers. Whether for a crafting project, kids' activity, or even for affixing to holiday cards, special stickers add a little something extra that gives the finished product a refined and detailed appearance. A few simple office items are all that is needed for basic stickers, and the method can be modified depending on the intricate nature of your craft or your sticker needs and function. Kids love stickers! It is true; kids do enjoy embellishing anything and everything with these cute and clever baubles. Stickers make great gifts for kids, and can encourage their imagination and provide a gentle push toward their creative side. So inexpensive to make, kids can also get in on the fun! Purchase decent quality self-adhesive pages that will fit in your printer at home. Have the kids artwork or designs ready to download or scan to fit the size you wish your stickers to be. There are plenty of free templates that can be downloaded for free and used to print sheets of uniform and cohesive stickers from your kids' greatest creations. This also works well for more sophisticated needs such as business related or gift-giving. Use a favorite photo to create a page of photo stickers to stick to greeting cards or to give away to family and friends. Try black and white photos for a cool vintage photo feel. Be sure that you adhere to any copyright laws that may protect the photographer's work should you use a professional picture for your stickers. Scan a business-card, reduce the size down by about fifty percent. Multiply the image using a template to reproduce this mini-version of your card for the perfect little advertising sticker! These are adorable, and can be used on postcards, for correspondence, or to stick here and there for some exposure! For those that scrapbook, it might become necessary to seek very detailed and specific stickers and embellishments for targeted projects and pages. Having the perfect adornment for a themed page is a big part of the overall result and finished look. It is not unusual for some scrapbook enthusiasts to spend hours of their time and copious amounts of patience trying to find the perfect stickers and embellishments for their work, combing through crafting stores. This doesn't even take the cost into account; these scrapbook items are expensive! Make your own using your digital camera, printer, and the same sticker template as for other projects. Take photos of actual objects and personal items, creating them into single stickers for specific use in your album or on your page. This really serves to personalize these when given as gifts, and the attention to detail and thought involved is not lost on the recipient! Many will sit in amazement at the tiny touches and detail that you took in creating their gift. It is so easy to make your own stickers and spend far less than you would in a craft shop or office supply store. Furthermore, the stickers are specifically designed and crafted by you. Enjoy!
