Looking for an easy way to start making products? Stickers are a great way to dip your toes into product manufacturing. Everyone loves stickers! Whether it’s to hoard them or stick them everywhere, it’s a product that hits many different age groups and has a low selling cost for anyone on a budget. Let’s go over all the information you need to get started making stickers!

Hello there, I’m Taylor! As well as being a full-time artist and Skillshare top teacher, I also run a cat-themed stationery brand out of my home in Virginia called The Stray Shop. I started the shop over two years ago with a handful of sticker designs and almost no money. I now have products in over 10+ retail locations across the US and have sold over 3,500+ stickers in the last year alone. It was our top revenue driver for over 6 months and allowed us to scale our business to what it is now.

While it may seem limiting at first, creating artwork with the intention of turning it into a sticker has so many advantages. I have turned my sticker designs into everything from transfers for apparel and totes to bookmarks, earrings, and more to flesh out full-blown collections!

Psst… I’ll touch more on this in the bonus lesson!

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

Come up with concepts that people want to buy
Sketch your ideas and choose the best ones to turn into stickers
Set up your files to produce the best quality at the right size
Digitally illustrate your stickers for maximum cuteness and readability
Create clean-cut lines two ways

This class is great for any artist who wants to begin creating stickers to make extra income but is unsure where or how to start.

All you will need is your creativity and a way to make digital illustrations! I will be using Adobe Fresco in this class but will provide Procreate tips along the way. Any digital art software will work perfectly.

Let’s go draw some stickers!
