Crafting Your Stickers

Draw Lines
You have to be very careful with stickers because every error you commit might permanently damage your whole design. Lines are very important and keeping them straight should be our main focus. In order to make sure that your lines are perfect you should use a ruler and a pencil. A less messy way for your sticker would be making lines from post it notes. By using post it notes you will surely avoid creating pencil marks on your great stickers.

Making Perfect Layers
You can put your stickers on blank papers and create wonderful designs or you can enhance already made designs with your handmade stickers. Also, why don’t you try a wonderful flower pattern? I am sure it would look wonderful on a girly scrapbook.

Greeting Stickers Are Great
You can find greeting stickers at any local bookstore or craft shop with cheap prices. It’s up to you if you wish to design them yourself by using peel-offs with permanent markings. That would definitely be something original.

Mistakes Are Normal
Sometimes, even if you are very careful you will eventually make a lot of mistakes when placing or crafting your stickers. When this thing usually happens people tend to leave things the way they are so they end up with strange looking scrapbooks.

Just use paper trimmers and you are set, you can design little notebooks for your friends. They make a wonderful gift for every occasion because the scrapbook combines art with feeling. Don’t waste the materials. If some are left you can use them for other scrapbooks or other crafts.
