WHAT YOU NEED TO START A STICKER BUSINESS | Supplies to Start a Sticker Shop in 2021

[@categhlise9784]

Try the wax paper sleeves to protect your stickers, glassine bags.

[@Yeahhhmaybe]

Loved this! I remember when I first started my sticker shop I would sit on the floor and hand cut them all & as I made sales slowly started buying stuff & investing back in

[@amoore0221]

An idea for a replacement for the cello bags would be glassine envelopes.

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

I will definitely look into it! Thank you!

[@billionnaire1]

If your on A tighter budget and already have a desktop pc or laptop you can just buy A drawing tablet like A wacom, entry level ones start at about £90.

[@Jem.]

Could you make a video of you showing a step by step how you make your stickers and order? That would be really helpful. Thankyou!

[@angies6789]

You can try vellum (glassine) bags if you want a eco-friendly solution, they’re not fully waterproof though but they do offer some protection to a little bit of moisture

You are sooooo amazing with sharing all this info💞💞 I have been drawing for more than 20 years, but just for me and friends. I now want to create stickers, I need to get the tools, thanks for this information. God bless your kind soul and may He bless and prosper you 🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@jrrainbows2665]

i’m starting a sticker business soon but i haven’t decided a name for my etsy shop *just* yet. I’m gonna have a bunch of sticker sheets themed around spiritual stuff eventually, and a bunch of die-cuts of random things i like lol

[@elainecusato26]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you.

[@liesespeaksdeutsch606]

You don't need an ipad, just get a stylus for your phone (unless it comes with one like the samsung note series do) and the ibis paint X app which is available for android and ios (and probably others but idk). No need to pay 500 bucks for an ipad, just get a stylus and the free ibis paint X app and ur good to go. I use it for my stickers and it works great

[@lindyscolors]

This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing the money breakdown, the steps, the uses of the materials, and your process. One of the best videos I have seen explaining this so far and with methodical steps! Have a wonderful day and thank you again for sharing this with us!

[@Heyits__JC]

Ohhh! I was always concerned about whether if I should register a PO Box, but your first advice made me more sure that I should! XD

[@s7121n9s]

I recently started an Etsy shop making custom Low poly portraits but was looking to do something else as well. I was thinking of doing stickers too so this was helpful, thank you

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

You should! Go for it!

[@hillarydarcy5811]

i loved this video! It was so informative and engaging. It really helped me on what to get for my shop, the rollo printer tip was great! thank you

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Thank you for watching 💕 seriously the rollo printer is such a time & money saver in the long run! Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your shop!!

[@robloxginger5285]

Your cardigan is super cute!

[@senpailogic913]

I'm fixing to get a Roland bn 20 printer eventually. Thanks for the info I might dabble in this and see how things go.

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Yay! Good luck!

[@mythical.craftstarot]

This was very helpful and encouraging. Thank you. Can you make a video about how to use the Rollo shopping label?

[@polyamorousduo4622]

Please make more videos! This video was great, thank you!

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Thank you! Will do! Let me know if you have anything specific that you'd like to see!

just found this and love your channel and its definitely a favorite! thank you for helping :]

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Thank you!! Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!

[@miniriotco.1808]

I used eco friendly almost like little parchment paper it’s like a little bag that folds over. Not waterproof but I never had a problem

[@brittanysnelson8314]

Have you ever thought about using your rollo printer to do your thank you cards? Like print the sticker and throw it on an index card????

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

You definitely could! At this point I usually order thank you cards on Vista Print and make it an art piece on one side and a thank you on the other so that people don’t just throw it away! :)

[@fatimahbholat5493]

glassine bags or parchment paper for the alternative, hope this helps :)

[@rosewd2]

i like your video on whats necessary to start a sticker shop. id like to see a Video on the whole process of you making a sticker start to finish and packaging it up to mait to a generic customer - printing the mailing label too.

[@sagewiseloner6355]

Thanks Hannah. So did you start your sticker shop without a prior significant online following???....how long did it take you to start making sales???

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Yes! I started my business from scratch, but made lots of behind the scenes videos on TikTok. Those videos got a lot of traction and I started getting a lot of sales. I would say it took about a month before I had consistent sales.

How do you get orders? In all of these videos I can't find many talking about effective ways to drum up orders if you are brand new and starting from scratch

what about a Mac computer ? will that still work

[@soniaposadas3675]

Amazing video Yes am starting my small business Of stickers.. I just have couple concerns and questions for example I have pets of my own.. when drawing them might look similar to others pets stickers what can I do

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

As long as you're drawing them I wouldn't worry about it! I think there are artists with similar styles, but there is room for everyone! Nobody is going to be upset that your dog drawing looks like someone else's! Go for it! :)

[@viincreations]

About the printer, how often do u buy cartridges? Does it get expensive with the ink?

[@matttumolo820]

You should charge $1.39 for shipping. That’s why they call it “shipping & handling” to cover the cost of the packaging.

[@deep_agri_culture8695]

Good your job Goodyear looking❤

[@angryunikitty6838]

can you do this with traditional art?

[@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear]

Do you use a laminator?

[@Hend_wij]

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

[@eraserewrite]

I have no idea what the laminating sheets are for. Will there be a tutorial?

[@Shannonlap]

Thank you so much for sharing so much good info!!! Random question, but I’ve been looking for a font like the one you use in your video. Do you mind sharing what it’s called? Thank you!

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

I get mine off of Etsy for a few dollars, so some that I like on there are called Branchy (AndreStudioArt) and Wished (KAFontDesigns). I can't remember exactly which one I used, but these are very similar if not the one. You can also search "Retro Font" on Etsy and they will pop up!

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

You can also get a free one (for personal use only) from dafont called Duke Charming!

[@diyfiancevisa]

Hi! Did you register your business before launching it on Etsy? I was planning to start a business like this! :)

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

It depends on where you live whether or not you’ll have to register as a business. Some places you need to register to be a sole proprietorship. If you want to form an LLC then you will need to do that before you start making money with your Etsy shop.

[@diyfiancevisa]

@@HannahSkyeCreative Thanks for the info!

[@repeataftermeme75]

So what’s the legal stuff you had to do to run the shop? Business license/LLC Business name registration Name trademarking Etc etc ?

[@leinie2317]

Thanks for sharing, look forward to the marketing stickers video!

Coming soon! Hopefully I will be done filming it today! :)

[@elliemetzen1972]

How about samsung tab. Cricut dont work with that ?

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

I think there is a Cricut Design Space app on the Google Play store! I'm not 100% sure how it works, though! I only have an iPad.

[@monicamcdaid2707]

How do you pay the postage and do the labels? I've been trying to figure out the cost of shipping a mailer like you're. using but I feel like I must be looking in the wrong place on USPS because I am not seeing it

[@James-rq2wb]

they make biodegradable cello bags!

[@andristefanus]

thank you beautiful, great tips

[@biegebythesea6775]

problem is, what if you don't sell and you've wasted money on a po box?

[@paytona7337]

hey! I have a question about fonts and sticker making. if i buy a font, does that give me the right to sell a sticker with that font on it? thank you! this video was very helpful :)

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

If you buy the commercial license! Sometimes you'll be able to buy a personal use font but that just means you can use it, it doesn't mean you can make money using it! :)

[@paytona7337]

@@HannahSkyeCreative ive done some research and found some good websites that have commercial use fonts so thank you!!!

[@piggy4093]

Hi can use a desk top computer???

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

YES! For sure, I just don't have a desktop You can totally use a desktop to design everything!

[@HannahTran1]

I don’t know how to draw well but I love digital design :( do you know if some people draw over stuff to draw it but put their own twist to it?😅😅is it hard to draw on procreate ?

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

Yes! It’s actually easy to start out by importing a picture and tracing & putting your own touch on it! Then you can start experimenting when you’re more comfortable with drawing! 😊 procreate is so good to start drawing on! Much less complicated than if you tried something like photoshop!

[@HannahTran1]

@@HannahSkyeCreative oh okk that’s what I thought thank u but is it ok to trace simple stuff, not copy, to sell ? Seems scary aha Everyone freestyles.

[@lizmiller2341]

I have heard good things about Envy printer. But that because it doesn't have a rear entry tray you can't use thicker card stock or sticker paper like Circuit Sticker paper? Is this true.

[@shalalala4875]

Hi Hannah, thanks for all the useful information and sharing your experience. Since you have 2 businesses, would you just need them tied to 1 LLC ( or other business) or would you need 2 licenses? I want to sell digital prints/ posters for wall art and home decor, and another shop for my personal style of cute stickers, pins, prints, cards, etc. Since they will be 2 very different styles, I think I should create 2 shops. I was going to include my name in both. So would I be able to keep them both under 1 LLC for my graphic design?

[@galaxiesareborn3797]

I want to do this but can't draw to save my life lol. Is there any way around drawing your own?

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

If you can design using shapes you can do that, too!

[@ReiSli74]

Try wax paper. Make your own bags. Or tissue paper.

[@belkisjcruz]

I have both and I prefer silhouette because Silhouette software is way better, Cricut design space is so limited. Also, you can't print then cut the full page with Cricut, and it's such a waste of paper. I only use my Cricut for vinyl work and making written cards.

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

I agree with that! I love the software that Silhouette has, but I have had so many problems with my machine cutting and aligning and printing from the software that it's not worth it for me anymore if I can get enough orders to outsource!

[@ayvencore]

Cellophane bags are meant to be biodegradable and compostable. They're made from cellulose fibre which is renewable. If your bags won't compost, then they're not cellophane bags.

[@kekspaw1597]

Instead of cellophane bags you could use beeswax coated paper!

[@ketie1577]

Hi, I don't have An Ipad so I use my laptop.is it okay to use fonts from these apps for business or will that get you in trouble related to copyrights?

[@HannahSkyeCreative]

It depends on the website you're using to make your stickers. Some give you commercial rights and some don't. I would also look in to getting fonts from a website where you can buy the rights to use commercially!

[@ketie1577]
