[@believe8263]

PRO TIP: Heat the surface with a blow dryer immediately prior to applying the sticker. This helps the sticker stick better and if there are any air bubbles they will be smaller when it cools.

Here is a top tip, what I just to do is design the sticker get the vector file and just hand it over to a local decal place. Not only does it save me the hassle of cutting the sticker out but it's also pretty cheap. I haven't bought a sticker from a website in years now haha

[@dylanbikesthings3633]

This was an awesome and entertaining tutorial! Also, you have to weed every sticker made? That little physical touch actually kind of makes them more special in my opinion!

[@mikedefrist4624]

I agree it makes them more personal

[@Liphzzy]

I know it's a little late, but the answer is yes and no. The way he does stickers means that you have to weed ever sticker individually, especially time consuming when it consists of different layers. But the cheapest way of doing stickers, what big sticker companies do, or companies that sell stickers, is to actually print the design of sticker on a vinyl, so you only have to remove the outer part of the sticker, this takes WAY less effort since you can weed like 100 of stickers within 5 seconds.

[@ALSILVERU2]

@@Liphzzy Thanks for this response I intend to sell but weeding 100s to thousands individualy can be unmotivating. Any links on printing on v idk you could print on it 😲

[@sethismename7499]

I would recommend signwarehouse for the supplies. Really you guys should use at least a 24in vinyl cutter for the amount of stickers your doing. Also you should get a weed tool, its much better than a exactoknife

You can get a commercial grade plotter for $100 more. That will increase the cut width from 12 inches to 36 inches and speed up the cutspeed.
