Merchandising Your Artwork: Create Your Own Stickers

1. Introduction: Have you always wanted to start making stickers of your art but aren't ready to commit to ordering hundreds at a time. Let me show you how to make your own stickers at home that are high-quality and ready to sell. Hello, I'm Taylor. As well as being a full-time artist and Skillshare top teacher, I also run a cat being stationary brand out of my home in Virginia. It's grown from creating stickers for fun, just using my planner, to a full-fledged shop that sells hundreds of stickers to people all over the US. Being able to create stickers of my designed anytime I want has allowed me to test products on a smaller scale to see what my customers want before shelling out big money to have them manufactured in the hundreds. Not only that, but I love making stickers for all kinds of occasions. You can make stickers of your pets to slap on literally everything. Maybe make some stickers of your kids artwork for them to use or design something special for a loved one as a gift. You can do all kinds of things with stickers, and who doesn't love a good sticker? In this class, you'll learn how to create your own stickers from artwork you already have using a silhouette cutting machine. I've tried tons of sticker papers, laminate machines, and wasted a scene amount of material on the process. I want to help you avoid some of the mistakes I made by giving you all the information I've learned about sticker making over the past three years. To help me do that, my sticker paper provider online labels has gifted me their best-selling sticker papers to show you all the options available to you. They have also given me a sweet promo code that I'll share with you in the class resources, for discount on your first-order of sticker paper to help you get started. Any sticker paper will do though, so feel free to use whatever you like. Other than some high-quality sticker paper, all you need is some artwork, a silhouette or cricket cutting machine, and access to a printer. I also have lots of other suggestions for fun things you can invest in and make your sticker making process easier. Overall, this class is perfect for anyone who already owns a cutting machine but needs help getting into sticker making or anyone who is looking into making their own stickers at home, but would love to see the whole process before they take the plunge to purchase their own machine. By the end of this class, you'll be able to create all kinds of stickers at home from your artwork anytime you like. What are we waiting for? I'll see you in class. 2. Your Project: For today's project, we're going to create a sticker sheet from new or existing artwork that is high quality enough for you to sell anywhere. We'll be going over what makes a good sticker as far as the design, the materials you'll need to create your stickers, and how to get the best results from your cutting machine. If you've ever tried to make stickers yourself, you've probably run into a few issues, maybe even wasted a couple of stacks of sticker paper even. I can confidently say that I've wasted over 100 sheets of sticker paper in the past three years of running my business. If you're still having issues, this class is here to help make the process a lot more simple and fun. If you're brand new to making stickers, congratulations on finding this class because you get to skip the awful step of making countless mistakes with no end in sight. I'm here to tell you all of the things that I messed up on so you don't have to. You're welcome. This class will focus on the silhouette line of cutting machines but I will go into more depth about the pros and cons of silhouette versus cricket in a later lesson to give you a better understanding of why I recommend silhouette for sticker cutting. That being said, if you have a cricket, there's still a bunch of wonderful information in this class that can help you create high-quality stickers. I'll go into more detail in the next lesson but all you need right now is some artwork that you'd love to turn into stickers. It can be whatever you'd like, but I'll go over how to choose the best designs that turn into stickers and what to avoid. So I'll see you in the next lesson. 3. Choosing Art for Your Stickers: [MUSIC] Any artwork can be turned into stickers. However, some designs are better than others and this can all come down to the complexity of the design. At-home cutting machines, especially silhouettes, can cut some pretty fine details and complex shapes. But once you start peeling your sticker off the backing to pop it on something, things can turn into a nightmare. If you've ever tried to use a sticker that has long bits hanging off of it or lots of internal cuts, you know what I'm talking about. It's just really easy to rip or misplace stickers like that. To make it easy for not only you but your potential customers to enjoy your stickers, you want to make sure you have simple smooth lines around your artwork. This makes it easy to peel and almost foolproof to place. Once you've considered your potential cut line, you really can make any of your artwork into a sticker. Honestly, you can really make anything into a sticker if you'd like. You can take pictures of your pets or a loved ones pet, you can take a logo and make freebie stickers for your business. Really, the sky is the limit, the main thing is having a simple and smooth cut line that's easy to peel. Now that we have our artwork chosen and we've considered our cut line, we're going to move on to the next lesson. I'll see you there. 4. Silhouette vs. Cricut: [MUSIC] For this class, I'll be going over how to make your stickers on my silhouette cameo form. If you have an older version of the cameo or a silhouette portrait, that everything should be about the same with some tiny differences. If you already have a silhouette machine and don't plan on getting a cricket anytime soon, feel free to skip this lesson. I did want to make it though to share while I'll be using a silhouette in this class. However, I do understand that some of you may have a cricket or considering buying a cutting machine. I had a brand new cricket maker when I first started my online business, and I loved it because it was rose pink and it was super cute and it did a great job cutting vinyl, paper and felt. But I quickly realized that it gave me so many issues when it came to printing and cutting stickers. I could not tell you how frustrating it was to constantly have to throw away perfectly fine sticker paper due to very off miscuts. I tried all the tricks in the books to calibrate it and just nothing seemed to work for me. After months of frustration, I finally decided to invest in a silhouette cameo and sell my cricket. I personally have not looked back since. The silhouette is extremely accurate and easy to use. It's not without its quirks like it needs to have like near perfect lighting to read registration marks sometimes, but we'll get into that in a later lesson. I'll just say the cricket works great for a lot of people, but it didn't work for me and my business, and it could have been a messed up machine on my end, however, I talked with many artists that had the exact same issues as I did. If you're looking to buy a machine to make your own stickers at home, I highly recommend any of the newer silhouette machines. If you watch all this and already have one, then I'll stop rambling and we'll get on to learning how to use it. 5. Materials Breakdown: Once you have your machine, you're going to need a few other things to get started making stickers. If you just bought a silhouette, it should have came with an auto blade and a cutting mat. You'll need both of these to make your stickers. If you don't have those for some reason, you can easily find them in most craft stores. Just be sure to check that you get the right one for your machine. I highly recommend starting with the silhouette branded ones since they're going to be completely compatible with your machine, same goes for cricket. There's a lot of knockoffs that work great, but they can take some calibration and more troubleshooting, and we really want to make this process as simple as possible until we're pros at it. You'll also need a printer, nothing fancy though. You can find great used ones on most online marketplaces. Mine is a $90 Epson that I got a long time ago and it works great. If you want color stickers, you'll obviously need a color printer but if you're strictly a no color artists, you can save a little bit of money with a black and white only printer. Last but not least, you're going to need some sticker paper. I use OnlineLabels sticker paper. I've tried a lot of different papers when I got started, but I definitely found that I liked their quality the best for my use. However, any sticker paper works. When I first got started, I definitely just picked up some at a local craft store. You can also find lots of suggestions online if you just search around. I'll dive deeper into the type of paper I recommend for stickers and the different finishes you can use in the next lesson but for now, let's review the must have materials that you need for your project. You'll obviously need a cutting machine, I'll be using a Silhouette Cameo 4. I'll also be using the auto blade, so you just need some type of blade that works with your cutting machine. A cutting mat that fits your machine. A printer, ink jet or laser, ink-jet is what I use and it's typically a little bit cheaper. You'll also need the sticker paper of your choice. I'll primarily be using OnlineLabels, weatherproof matte paper. You only need those five things to get started making your own stickers. However, if you want to get a little fancy, here's a list of the extras that do come in handy. Self-laminating sheets are great. A squeegee to help lay on the laminate. Tape, because you sometimes need it if your mat is older and less sticky. Then also have a social media stamp for adding my information to the back of my stickers. If for whatever reason you're feeling overwhelmed, don't be. You totally got this. It can seem like a lot of stuff, but it is totally doable, and there are plenty of workarounds. Like I mentioned, if you buy the machine new, it comes with the first three things you need. You can also ask a friend to print off some of the sheets for you if you can't get a hold of a printer, and the samples at OnlineLabels are free. You can also totally grab whatever sticker paper you can find to tryout. I started with a brand I just found at Target in the office supply isle. Let's go ahead and move on to the next lesson, where I'm going to go over some of my favorite sticker paper finishes and how to use them. 6. Sticker Paper: Recommendations: Let's talk sticker paper. Like I mentioned, any sticker paper you can get your hands on will work. When I first got started, I used this paper before I upgraded to this paper for a little while. However, I do have some recommendations of things I like if you do intend on selling your new stickers. My favorite paper to use for longevity and quality is the online labels weatherproof matte. I like that it's really buttery and the fact that it can withstand more than other papers I've used. I also like that I can skip the laminate if I just want matte stickers. I do that a lot with sticker sheets that are meant to be used for journaling or planning. If I'm making stickers just for packaging or gift wrapping purposes, I like to use the online labels recycled white or standard matte. Any standard sticker paper works great for this, they do come out looking a little less crisp because of the finish of the paper, but that's perfectly fine for packaging. These papers also work great for planner stickers too since they don't need to hold up to the elements. I personally like to laminate my sticker sheets as a separate step, but there's also glossy and clear sticker papers available out there. These ones from online labels are great. I always have a little bit of issue with bleeding ink though. I do recommend testing glossy papers before making a bunch of stickers with it. You also probably want to adjust your print settings to use less ink so that you don't get a bunch of excess ink sitting on the paper, which is what causes the bleeding I mentioned. Again, just try it out for yourself. Speaking of laminate, I love to store my stickers to help them last even longer and laminate can add an extra layer of protection to your design to help them hold up better over time. I personally like to use the Avery or Scotch single-sided laminating sheets. But any self laminating sheets will work. Self-laminating or cold laminating just means that you don't need a thermal laminating machine to get them to stick. I do like to use a laminating machine on cold to get an even seal, but a squeegee or credit card works great to. Another fun element of laminate is glitter. I have a couple of different types of glitter laminate that I like to use to add sparkle to my stickers. I just got mine on Amazon. It's more of a decorative element for me, so I just pick whatever glitter pattern I want from the ones that I find. Now that you have your sticker paper ready, let's move on to prepping your artwork. I'll see you in the next lesson. 7. Prepping Your Artwork: [MUSIC] Whether you work traditionally or digitally, we are going to need some degree of prep to get your work ready to be cutting the stickers. Let's go over that now. Once you have your artwork picked out, you're going to want to add cut lines. You can do this by hand for more control. I like to use a big smooth brush for this and either Procreate or Fresco, whichever you drew it in, any program you drew it in. You can also outline your shape with the pen tool in Illustrator or Photoshop. Silhouette Studio also has a tool that I can go over where it'll create the outlines for you and it has a very similar Pen tool. For sticker sheets, you'll need a background sheet and this can be as simple as a filled-in colored rectangle or you can add some cute designs on the back, add your logo, your name, anything like that. For traditional art prep, you're going to want to scan or photograph your work. From there, you can adjust color if needed, if that's something that you're used to doing or the colors came in a little off, then you can create a cut line, by either cutting out the background of your image or masking a shape around your work. This can also be done in Illustrator or Photoshop, but you can use Procreate as well as Fresco if you're more comfortable using the iPad. Now that your artwork is all prepped and ready to go, we're going to bring it into silhouette Studio so I'll show you how to do that in the next lesson. [MUSIC] 8. Using Silhouette Studio: Silhouette Studio can look intimidating when you first open it, but we only need to use a handful of these tools to make awesome stickers. If you've ever used an Adobe program like Illustrator or Photoshop, it uses a lot of the same concepts and key shortcuts. For example, Control or Command Z can be used to undo in Silhouette Studio, just like it can be in Adobe. Let's go ahead and jump on into Silhouette Studio and I'll show you exactly how it works and what it looks like. This is what Silhouette Studio looks like when you open it up. The first thing we're going to want to do is go over to this little page setup panel. What we're going to do is we're going to set our media size to letter. Mine is already set at letter because that's what I used last. But it's typically going to be set on auto, which is 12 by 12. However, most sticker papers are letter size unless you have a large format printer, then good for you. But my sticker paper is letter sized. I'm also using the Cameo 4 and that's plugged into my computer, so it's reading that. Then my cutting mat is a Cameo cutting mat. We don't need to mess with any of these settings, but we do have to go up here and turn on our registration marks. The registration marks are what allows the Silhouette to print and then cuts. When you turn them on, they're going to look like this. I always bump the thickness up all the way. It really doesn't make too much of a difference as far as the visuals, but it does help the machine read them a little bit earlier. Then that's all we have to do there. The next thing we have to do is bring in our artwork and the easiest way to do this is to open up your file explorer and pull in any graphics that you'd like to use. I'm going to be using this Cat Mom. It'll load in and it always loads in pretty large, especially if you have a high-quality file, I'm going to load both of these in. Then if I minimize this and we hold Alt and use our scroll wheel, we can zoom all the way out and see how large these came in. From here, I'm going to select them all by holding down on the left key and dragging. Then again, very similar to Adobe products, we're going to hold shift. We get this little arrow in the corner and just scale this down. I'm going to drag them back onto our matte. From here you can scroll in with Alt again or you can right-click it to window. My favorite thing about Silhouette Studio is it'll tell you how big things are. If I click this, it will open up a bound box and tell me the exact size. From here, I can adjust it like we just did by holding Shift. If you don't hold Shift, it typically will hold the scale. I'm just used to holding Shift because a lot of Adobe programs will skew the scale. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm going to Control Z or Command Z to go back to the original size. You can also adjust the size from up here, but just watch to make sure that the lock aspect ratio is on. If I hit three, Enter, it'll scale that down to three. From here these do not have any cut lines. What we're going to do is we're going to create cut lines within Silhouette Studio. Another one of my favorite tools that Silhouette Studio has. What you're going to want to do is click the art work that you'd like to create cut lines for. Then we're going to go over to the offset panel and we're going to do an offset. An internal offset would basically create cut lines going in to your artwork. We're going to do the standard offset. From here there's a default amount which I actually normally like, I like this cutout, but from here you can make it go up or down. Let's do about 150. You can also adjust to create sharp corners or round corners. That doesn't change too much for me because my artwork is very round, all of the edges of this is round. Your just going to hit "Apply". From here you're going to want to make sure that these are combined. If I click "Off", right now, these are not together and we need them to be together. The first thing we're going to do is drag left mouse click and then we're going to do a right-click group. Then that's going to allow them to be friends and that way they stay together because you don't want them to be separated. We just grouped, so everything stays together. But if we do have internal lines, not every sticker is going to make internal lines, but this one did. We're going to want to right-click again and ungroup really quick being careful not to move our artwork. Then we're going to go in and we're going to double-click until we get these little dots. This is their pin tool basically. We're going to go in and we're going to click the little points and hit "Delete". You just keep hitting Delete once you've selected an area until it gets rid of it. I'm just going to get rid of all of these little internal cuts. You want to watch two, so this one's pretty obvious, but sometimes there will be little dots in here that I don't see, but when the cutting machine starts working, it'll keep making little lines here. Then I have to go back and look at my file and realize that there's a tiny little dot in this little light thing, I have to cut right there. Just make sure you get them all. That's perfect. From here, before we regroup it, we are selected on just the outline at this point. I'm going to go to this drop-down menu and I'm going to set the outline to a different color. The reason I'm doing this is when we go to send and cut, we're going to organize our cuts by color. If we cut now, if you look, this graphic came in with a red outline. Both of these have red outlines. Silhouette Studio is not going to be able to tell which one we want to cut and it'll cut these as well as the outline, we don't want that. I will show you a cool little thing too. If you double-click on your artwork when you bring it in, don't move it though, it'll create these little lines again. I've definitely used this to clean stuff up before, because if I hit "Delete", it will get rid of it. It'll create this little white space around it, which if you're printing on white, it doesn't matter, but you can adjust things from in here, which is pretty cool. Let me just undo that real quick. We're going to go in and we're going to make sure Control G or Command G and then those are grouped again. Let me go ahead and do it to this one. Now our outlines are ready. We have different color strokes for our outline, which will be our final cut line, so we're good to go at this point. Now that we know how to use Silhouette Studio and everything is completely set up, we're going to work on actually printing and cutting them out. I will see you in the next lesson. 9. Printing & Cutting Your Stickers: Now that everything's ready, let's hop back into the Silhouette studio and I'll show you how to print and get ready to cut your stickers. It's time to print and cut, so before we do that, we want to make sure that we're not wasting any lovely sticker paper. We're going to move around and duplicate our design to fit it into this red box. You don't want to move anything outside of the red box because it will not cut and when you go to send your design, it will let you know that something is outside of the red box. You should check that before you go to cut. To do this, I'm going to move everything around, being sure not to get anything too close to our registration marks. That's basically what these little X's hat cross hatching thing is. I can put this here, technically it will cut, but I have a black design near a black registration mark, so it's more likely to confuse the sensor. What I do is I just play it safe and I get it away from those. Then we get to play a fun game of jigsaw. Again, I'm just left-clicking and dragging to place everything where I'd like it. From here, I'm going to, again select by dragging with left-click. Then I'm going to do what you would do to copy and paste in any Adobe program, which is Command or Control C, and then Command or Control V and then I'll duplicate it. Unfortunately we're not lucky in these do not fit right here. This part, like I said, it's going to not cut this because it's outside of our red box. From here, I'm going to click this top one and then I'm just going to drag it and it should lock into place or at least a little bit, it'll show you the lines. But if you want it to lock within 90 degrees, you just hold down shift. I`m going to do the same to this one. Shift, Drag, boom. As I mentioned, Silhouette hasn't really good tolerance for fine details. This isn't too close. In real life, this is probably maybe a quarter inch and that's perfectly fine. I honestly could probably get it a little bit closer. However I`m do for a new blade so I'm not going to. Then you're just going to keep duplicating to fill up the page. Sometimes I'll have weird little spaces like this where I can't really fit any of my designs into it. What I'll do is I'll either duplicate one of the designs and make a teeny-tiny version. I normally keep these for myself or give them to friends and family or pop them into orders is freebies. But you can also take your logo and put them in here. I've made extra logo stickers like that before. Now that everything is ready and we're happy with it nothing is too close to the registration marks and nothing is passed the red line. We're going to go over to send. From here, we're going to make sure that our silhouette is on, so you see it says it's ready to load. It's actually missing the blade right now, so I'll have to put that in. But do you see how everything here has red lines? That means that it is going to cut all of this and those probably wouldn't be very cute stickers. You know I like to brag that the silhouette can cut fine detail. Just going to have a little bit of a hard time with this. What we're going to do is go over from simple to line. This is why it was really important for us to change the color of our outline. Because what we're going to do is we're going to turn the red line off and everything that's highlighted is just the purple line. That's letting us know that only the purple line will be cut. Before we get ready to cut this, we obviously have to print it. We're going to go over to File, Print. Once we get ready to print it, we want to double-check everything. It's not going to show any lines. We don't want it to show any lines because then you would see them when it cuts them out. Everything looks good here for me so I'm going to hit "Print". I'm going to select the printer that I would like it to print on and from here if you would like, you can change any preferences. I like to print my stickers as the highest-quality that my printer will allow me. Plain paper is fine for me since I'm using a matte sticker paper. But this is like when I mentioned, if you're using a glossy sticker paper, you might want to do standard quality so it uses less ink or you're going to want to go in and tell it glossy paper. This is where you're going to have to do trial and error to see what works best. Once we're ready, all we have to do is hit "Okay" and then "Print". It's really important from here, once you hit print that you do not change anything in your design space because if I move this over in my design, it's going to cut off. Technically it will be cutting where it's supposed to. It's just we moved our design so our design isn't going to be cut in the right way. I'm going to hit "Print". Once our design is printed and ready to go, I'm going to stick it on my paper. I recommend using a light grip of any of your cutting mats that you're using. If you use standard grip, sometimes it's a little too sticky and it can curl or rip your paper. You're also going to want to make sure that it's lined up in the corner and it's straight on the mat as you can get it and the registration square always goes in the top left corner. To load your machine, you're going to want to line up the left side of your paper with the line on your machine and you're going to very lightly hold the back end of it and press "Enter", the little arrow basically is enter to get it to go in. The cut setting you'll need is going to depend on your sticker paper, If you laminated your stickers and how sharp or new your blade is. It might take a little trial and error however, these are the settings that I currently use for various materials. You will have to test yours and make adjustments as you go but mine are a good starting point. Once your machine is loaded with your sticker paper, you have the correct cut depth, then you're ready to register. All you have to do is press, "Send" or "Register" at the bottom in your silhouette studio. Quick note about lighting. The number one issue with getting a silhouette to read the registration marks is lighting. It's taken me a lot of trial and error, as well as moving my machine all over the room but I've found that soft even light works best. If there's too much shadow from harsh lighting, it causes it not to be able to read the marks. Then sometimes if it's really acting up, I'll just unload it, reposition the sheet on the paper and reload it. That works about nine times out of ten. If something went wrong with the registration, the cut accuracy, the depth of the cut, or any other little quirks, be sure to check out the troubleshooting lesson next. I'll go over how to remedy a bunch of different problems that I faced in the past and how to fix them. 10. Troubleshooting: [MUSIC] In this lesson, I'm going to be going over all of the different little issues that can happen and how to troubleshoot them, so let's go ahead and go through all of those. If your machine won't load, the first thing you want to do is make sure that it's on. It'll make some noises and move the blade around when it powers up, so just make sure it does that. You may also be pushing the mat in too hard, it just needs a light touch to create tension. Like I said, practice helps just loaded a couple of times to get used to the feel of it. Check your white rings on the machine bar, they need to be locked into place to create tension. I did this when I first got started because I think they come slightly unlocked or they can be moved, so you just want to make sure that it's locked or else you're going to have one side be loose and it's not going to have enough tension to pull them out through. If your machine isn't showing up on your computer, you want to make sure that it's connected either via Bluetooth or with a cable. Bluetooth does like to disconnect, so I highly recommend using a cable. I got mine from Amazon and it's really long and it lets me move my machine across the room if I need to. If your machine won't register, try manually registering it. Just switch it to manual on silhouettes studio and use the arrows on your machine to move your tool right above the black square. Don't move the sensor above the black square, just a tool, and then you're going to press "Play" to register. If that doesn't work, unload your machine and reposition your stickers. This works for me most of the time. If I'm having some trouble, sometimes it's just a weird angle or it just needs to be reloaded. If those two things don't work, then it's time to check your lighting. Like I said, soft lighting works best. I have a lamp over my machine and I turn on my main office lights to cast even light. Anything too bright or harsh is going to make it hard for the sensor to read your registration marks. I also have my machine on a rolling cart which allows me to adjust the spot to get it in better lighting. Just remember, it may take a couple of registrations to figure out what lighting setup you need for your machine. But once you have it, it should work great. Once I got mine doubt in, I've had almost no problems getting it to read on the first go. If your machine is cutting your stickers off, then make sure you're watching your machine as it registers. Sometimes it can read the marks wrong and it's normally really easy to tell that this is happening and you can pause to restart before it cuts everything off. If that doesn't help, make sure to check your printer settings, you want to make sure that you aren't printing out a weird size, so when you go to print, you need to make sure that it's printing out letter size because that's what we set hours up to print for. If your sticker paper isn't sticking to the mat or it's getting caught up in the blade, then this means it's time for a new mat if you have an old one. You can also look into resurfacing them to add some stickiness back. I normally just opt to go buy new ones since it's worth the time it saves me. I keep my old ones for tests and messy projects, especially makes a super mess on your mat. If you can't get a new mat or you think yours is already pretty sticky, then you can tape along the edges to help your paper stay on better. I like to use light-colored washi tape for this. If you use anything dark, you risk the machine reading it as registration marks, which will result in offcuts. It may be time for new blade if your mat is good to go. Older dollar blades can get caught on the paper and cause it to tug. This will move your sheet around or cause your machine it gets stuck in one area. Just remember that you may need to adjust your cut settings to account for a new blade. Be sure to check back on this lesson if you do have any more issues, I know it's easy to forget things when you're learning a new machine or program, so this lesson we'll be here for you all the time to check back on. I'll also have a PDF full of resources to help you out in a little step-by-step that you can follow. So let's go ahead and move on to the last lesson. We will go over everything we learned in this class. [MUSIC] 11. Conclusion: [MUSIC] Now you have some super cool stickers to sell, share, or hoard away and stare at occasionally dreaming of the perfect place to put them. But hopefully, you'll just use them. That'd be great. [LAUGHTER] I mentioned, you can make all kinds of fun stickers to gift to loved ones, give away as freebies and orders, used to promote a band or business, and lots of more things. Please don't forget to share your hard work in the project gallery. I'd love to see pictures of your final sticker sheets, especially if you actually end up using them or selling them. Just to recap, we went over how to choose what artwork makes for the best stickers, the pros of using a silhouette for stickers over a cricut, what materials you will need to start making your own sticker sheets, how to prep your artwork for sticker making, navigating the silhouette studio application, how to print and cut your stickers, and finally, troubleshooting your silhouette to quickly fix any issues that may come up. I hope you enjoyed this class. Sticker-making can be a bit overwhelming if you don't have any guidance for getting started. I've been making my own stickers for years now and it's such a fun skill to have even. If you don't end up selling your final sticker sheets, this process can help you create stickers from your artwork easily anytime you want. It's also great to test out designs before manufacturing if you decide to go that route. If there's only one thing I hope you took from this class is that making your own stickers at home is a fun and easy way to turn your artwork into a sellable product. Manufacturing normally requires you to make hundreds of one item which can be super overwhelming when you're just getting started. I love getting to make a few stickers at a time to see what my customers like and think before committing to ordering hundreds. Like I mentioned, please share your creation in the project gallery along with your social media handles for myself and your other classmates to check out. Last but not least, if you'd like the class, I'd love for you to leave me a review and follow me for more classes. [MUSIC] I will see you next time. Bye.
