How to Make Stickers From Home (Any Budget)

[@jessicaskibicki5772]

You should 100% have a SkillShare class! Your teaching style is amazing

[@neonyoutobe5405]

Why does everything needs to be a paid thing and only for privileged ppl. Who can afford.

[@shaharyarkhan7618]

Hey Tim, I've been following you for over a year and watched all of your Sticker Store Series - I've finally started my own e-commerce store dedicated to sticker business. Thank you so much for really putting the value out there and making me start my first business. Love from Pakistan ❤

[@shelly6015]

Hey bro, what equipment did u use and where did u buy it from in Pak?

[@MrEtrigger1]

One of the best sticker\business\motivator speaker out in the crazy world of youtube. When I see ur videos I feel inspired and energies to keep pushing my small sticker shop. Thank you!!

[@snowdensmithdigital]

More sticker content please. That's how I found your channel first and enjoyed the insight into your sticker process and the machines you use. As well as your success/failures in selling.

[@JenniferMcGarity]

I'm starting my sticker business and although I've done lots of research and even made stickers I'm not 100% comfortable selling them. But seeing that you are using laminate paper to waterproof helps a lot. Thanks for the awesome videos! And yea - I'd love more sticker content.

[@beingemma]

Thank you so much for this! I have been dabbling with the idea of adding stickers to my shop to see if people would like them but didn't want to invest in the cutter until I knew it was of interest. This is a great way for me to see if my customers will like them.

[@victorcovarrubias9902]

This was so helpful Tim! I’m just beginning sticker / digital art making and I found this to be tremendously beneficial and insightful. Thank you so much for the guidance and resources.

[@happyblkhippie]

Thank you so much! This was such a straightforward, easy to understand video. I appreciate you showing how its possible to start with what you have and grow from there.

[@LlesiSea]

I am definitely interested in "sticker content", because 1) i'm also an artist and have wanted to do stickers for ages. now i'm at a place where it looks more viable than before. and am starting to look at printers and printer paper. Where to start?help. 2) I'm located in the EU (Netherlands) and am having trouble finding EU manufacturers / supplies. For example, sticker paper that is see through without a white background, and products here tend to show photoshoped images and not showing what it actually looks like when you hold it/not showing the back side/etc. 3) just genuine curiosity as to how others organise and set up their "pipeline" at home so I can better mine. I like to be tidy. So please make more videos about stickers !!

[@margaritaterziivanova534]

Literally the perfect video for anyone who want to start making stickers! Thank you for this video.

[@ModernIntuitionist]

Another beautiful and useful video, I loved watching your art process from drawing to printing! Thank you

[@agataklein6831]

Love your videos! Please post about your cutters and also your setup. Especially addressing the laminating aspect for waterproof. Thanks

[@m.m.c.9463]

Already using Skill share! I hope to finish creating my stickers very soon. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!!🎉

[@Fasttrack001]

Great video Tim! Very helpful to know how simple it can be to produce stickers. I’m interested in seeing more videos on the digital products you’ve created. Thanks!

[@aroncontinuousconversation]

Yes please. A full review would be great. Thanks

[@Chechanchille]

I plan to make stickers as well. Thank you for simplifying and sharing your process! Tim always make it do-able and attainable. 🎉 thank you so much

[@RingoWild]

Your straightforward delivery is so refreshing. You put a lot of info in this video, and despite what you say, it still feels a little intimidating. However, I realize there’s a learning curve in any new endeavor. I’ve used photoshop for years, but I’ve never tried illustrator. There have been so many instances when I think illustrator is exactly what I need. So you do not use procreate? That seems to be so popular these days. You said you use an iPad, so you use it specifically for drawing and then your desktop for editing? Thanks again!

[@joancharles3529]

Thanks for the useful information - I would love to see more sticker content.

[@ElieBeth___]

This was a clear breakdown of your process and would love to see more! I liked hearing your thoughts on the cricut vs other one because cricut is everywhere it's nice to hear other pov

[@kikicz1637]

Yes, please more info. on cutters! Thanks so ,much for these video's. I really appreciate the clarity, how concise & simple, plus you approach it from newbie & onwards. Very interested in sticker content, also, if you could go more slowly when showing the adobe steps it would be easier for those of us who are starting out & have learning disabilities. I found myself getting overwhelmed & my brain just shut down but I wanted to understand it. I went to the transcript but I am a visual learner & need both. God bless!

[@TakeMeOnTour]

A video going into more detail on the Graphtec cutter and Roland printer you use would be great to see. Thanks for the video.

[@yaoseesthepath]

I really love all your videos! My 10 years daughters are starting their sticker business. Your video is so useful! Thank you a lot!

[@ksrt2654]

Love your sticker content! Love your approach- it's very straightforward, smart, and uncomplicated. Hobby artist hoping to make some side income with a sticker shop.

[@StephGee888]

Love this! It was so helpful! I was scared I couldn’t use my drawings… you opened up new possibilities!!! Thanks!!

[@alexanderpichler9263]

Please share how you make stickers today with the "big boys": which machines, how the setup works in the software, how you put the individual names in it, etc.

[@kalirally]

Yes, I’ve been wanting to see the same!

[@blackbrandlife]

Yes, I agree. If he was transparent he would’ve done a video on current printing machines, cost and setup versus this video 🤔 I would rather save up, than to buy this setup, then it be obsolete within a year of buying them because you had out grown this set up.

[@ffskecthbook]

Yes, please

[@UnbrandedLifestyle]

He IS transparent. And he’s not obligated to share everything if he doesn’t want to.

[@UnbrandedLifestyle]

If you actually watched to the end he even links you to a video of what he currently uses.

[@OlgaMoore-x6p]

Thank you so much. You are so easy to understand. I'm watching it again with my daughter. You got a new follower! Thank you again! :)

[@misosoupafly]

I signed up to skill share because of your great content! Thanks for sharing on how to make stickers. It’s super helpful to show how to add in the cut lines 👍🏻 my fav cat is #5

[@tammi_willis]

You were fundamental to my early days working out how to start making stickers! Love your videos (especially the sticker related ones)

[@ShivaBearRadio]

Your video and audio quality are the best I have seen on KZbin! What camera and mic setup do you use? I teach Yoga & Meditation online and would love to improve the quality for my senior students

[@charlottel518]

hi! i am planning my own sticker business so i would love to see more sticker content

[@RainierNaomi]

thank you so much for sharing! I've been thinking of starting my own sticker shop on etsy and I didn't even know a spray coating is another option to protect stickers!

[@dameanvil]

- 00:00 💰 Stickers are a great low-cost option for artists to sell, as they are inexpensive to make and easy to ship. - 00:27 🛠️ The creator emphasizes starting with simple, affordable equipment for sticker production, before scaling up to more advanced tools. - 01:52 🖌️ Drawing skills can be learned and improved, with minimalistic and Kawaii styles being popular for stickers. - 02:49 🖨️ Printing stickers can be done with any home printer, with multiple paper options available depending on quality and budget. - 05:00 📉 Not all sticker paper is equal; lower-quality paper may be suitable for giveaways but not for selling. - 05:54 ✂️ Stickers can be cut by hand with scissors, especially if you’re starting small or selling on platforms like Etsy. - 06:30 🤖 For larger production, investing in a cutting machine like Silhouette or Cricut is recommended. - 08:57 🗂️ Setting up proper cut lines and registration marks in design software is essential for precise cutting, especially when using a cutting machine. - 11:51 🔄 The process of cutting stickers can vary slightly depending on the machine, but the basics remain the same. - 12:00 ⚙ Cut settings vary by paper and machine, so testing and adjusting settings for your specific setup is necessary.

[@tlh878]

This was a great video! My husband and I own three sizes of button makers and are wanting to get into making stickers as well (just for fun) and this is so helpful!

[@shannaasi-marsters8194]

Pls continue with sticker content! I want to start my side hustle but have no idea how or where to start. Your videos are so easy to listen to and understand.

[@Mamiya-Kids-Chinese]

Man your vibe is so relaxing and I feel like I'm in DT Toronto again. Really nice to see you are one of the top sticker man onKZbin. I just started my kids channel and getting ready for sticker shops as well. Your advice is so straightforward and valuable, thanks a lot! If you live in Toronto maybe we can meet up one day :D

[@phillippia]

I would love a walkthrough of how you use the Graphtec cutter (design, software,etc).

[@brookiejai]

Thank you so much!! My husband and I LOVE stickers and I just want to make some for fun. Your first option was so simple! I didn’t know I could do this from my canon printer and just cut them myself 😂 So easy!!

[@tishspirationstation2845]

I am absolutely interested in your thoughts on the current popular hobby cutting machines. When I am ready to invest, I want to make the best choice. Silhouette was recently recommended to me, and the staff at my Michael's Store told me they will not be carrying them very soon, they are selling them off and not getting more. I do not use adobe, though. Would you consider a tutorial for illustrating stickers in canva? Is that even a thing? I think you are in Canada, and either way, hey from New Brunswick!

[@kuroneko2097]

You can't illustrate in Canva, it is more of an editing software. Canva is where you can bring everything together for finishing touches etc. Adobe softwares help you do stuff from A to Z. However Canva recently acquired Affinity which is a competitor for Adobe so we are hoping to see some changes in Canva. Also, although many people use cricut, there are many who switched from cricut to Cameo and never looked back.

[@tishspirationstation2845]

@@kuroneko2097 I want to adapt my own drawings, on paper, to be available as digital downloads and stickers. Any advice on how to make this happen? I am going to be working on my drawings in the next few weeks. I am leaning into artwork and stickers for bullet journals and other journals.

[@juliannpho]

Yes, stickers! Great content as always. Is there a smaller Graphtec option? My success with the cricut hasn't been the best. Adobe is a better way & plug-in is awesome!

[@NurturedbyNatureStudio]

Thanks for sharing this, I’ve been meaning to add stickers to my shop so this is helpful and timely! 👍

[@alexandervanlohen4229]

I would love to hear more details about the sticker business! But videos about your current work would be great, too! Thanks for the insights!

[@joyusagi]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I would love to see more videos about sticker making!

[@karriekam23]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Your tutorial is educational packed with info! May I know how do you manage your order and online store when you are away, say for a holiday? Would you put the store on hold and not accept orders?

[@mirelyc]

Please keep making Sticker How To's vids. Just came across your channel and LOVE it! Thanks :)

[@MadebyMarisJ]

Very insightful! Especially the tip to start by cutting with stickers before investing in more expensive products.

[@eesock]

Please create more content on how one can start! It is inspiring... Thank you Tim!

[@MichaelCordeiro]

Do cutting machines like the cameo or silhouette actually print the stickers and cut them too? Like it takes care of both things?

[@Lisaghoov]

MORE STICKER CONTENT AND CURRENT EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. THANK YOU! I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF TEACHING!

[@miriamrobarts]

I've been wanting to try this. Thanks for the tutorial! Your cat stickers are so cute! :)

[@chuchay0521]

Why is it i feel being hypnotized while watching you? Not sure if its the voice or the face. :) Anyways im a fan here. Love your videos im actually starting my sticker business and im still learning. Thank you for your tips, more video please. Love lots from PH♥

[@bangtanheart26]

Hello. Just got here your other video about making, packing & shipping stickers. I jist have one question. What type of ink do you use with your stickers - dye or pigment? Thanks.

[@LittleGameDev]

Seeing you running your sticker shop gives me hope. I also live in Canada I’ve been struggling starting up my business. Can you do a video on how you are navigating the current Canada post strike. I’ve been really struggling getting supplies and I have no idea what to do about shipping. Every video I’ve watched about postage in Canada doesn’t explain how it works. What stamps do I use, what size and weight should things be, what the difference between a label shipment vs a stamp shipment. It’s all very confusing.

[@NeilWick]

Stickers are the reason I subscribed to your channel. Make more sticker videos and I will definitely watch.

[@everydayhustling]

Thanks for sharing Tim, I'm thinking about getting into making stickers since it would be a great add on for products I currently sell on amazon.

[@Productive_Pulse23]

I really like the way you have implemented the real-time customization feature on your website. Which app are you using for that?

[@THESONSOFISSACHAR]

please do a review on circut and the other machine I am a beginniner Please, Thank you

[@jennykay780]

I would highly recommend the silhouette. The software is extremely easy to use. Word of advice though. Buy your machine from an actual store. Everyone time I’ve ordered a machine from online it doesn’t cut properly. I guess from all the shaking during shipping. But whenever I get one from the store it cuts properly from the start.

[@elizabethoniri6525]

More information on cutting on domestic machine please. Thank you for sharing, i really appreciate it.

[@Ladybraaap]

I have more questions about the waterproofing. I'm looking for a velvety (non-reflective) finish that is waterproof for water bottle stickers. How do other artists achieve this? Is it a fancy type of paper? Have had no success finding this..

[@charofheart37]

Did the Silhouette have more variety in cuts than Cricut, like a wider range? What was an example of something you could do with one and not the other? I was going to use Cricut to cut out nail decals as well as stencils. Is this more possible with Silhouette? Thank you for your time and efforts 🤗❤️👍🏽💯

[@letmetakeyouhere]

thank you for this video it is so simple practical and accessible I am starting a shop soon and it was a lot of help

HI! What tablet should I buy when just starting out?

[@alexanderhoffmann1542]

Which material are you using for your turtle tag stickers?

[@Darren-z8]

Hi Tim, what is your advice on creating shopify store. Do we need to hire someone or easy to do by myself? Or is better to hire someone?

[@ohsopaperco.8118]

I am interested in laminating roll options as I have a wide format printer so the sheets do really make sense for me.

[@mycleanskin]

Thank you for this video! It was exactly what I need. I have a question. When I use a cutting machine (I use Silhouette now but am interested in Graphtec) with vinyl sticker paper, I notice that paper dust sticks to the sheet. It's really hard to wipe off the dust when preparing the product for sale. What can I do to make this easier?

[@bryyfpv6868]

Thank you Tim! Can you share how to scan the registration mark using graphtec im having problem with it. Cant find a video tutorial how to do it. Thank you in advance!

[@AineDyer8690]

Thank you, Tim! Always interesting and helpful :)

@TimKoa is it good if I have a canon pixma M475 ??? Thx for the video

[@phillippia]

Hi @TimKoa Is there a machine that falls between the Cameo and the Graptec? Not as small/limited as the Cameo but not quite as big/ expensive as the Graphtec? Looking for printer cutter combo or just a plain cutter.

[@yenyandco]

Yes! More sticker content!

[@carolinag1939]

Hi Tim, Can you recommend an app that I can use to draw to start with? I don't have Adobe Illustrator and I'm not sure about getting it just to start because it would probably be costly.

[@aslchick2003]

I would love to see a recent comparison btwn the machines. Especially if making foil stickers is possible for either. ❤
