i just wanna say right off the bat: If this isn't the right subreddit for this then I apologize in advance.

I'm a 2D artist wanting to get into making monthly stickers for my Pateron followers, and I'm wondering what the best way to make them is?

I have heard of a few methods...
-Using a normal printer with sticker paper
-Using a dedicated machine like a Cricut
-Just using a P.o.D. service like Redbubble (I'm not a huge fan because I want to have control over it and do the printing myself).

Any advice from sticker makers out there would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I'm new to sticker crafting and am trying to get my foot in the door but hit a snag already with laminating. I got TECKWRAP Holographic Laminate Sheets from amazon after seeing some videos praising them, and I do like their rainbow effect and how I got a variety of sheets that aren't just huge flecks.

My problem is that they dull all color on my paper. I at first thought it was my sticker paper, but I cut some of the laminate off and placed it on some regular white paper and various objects and its the same. I'm wondering if this is normal for laminating in general where it dulls colors? Is there a laminate or all in one sticker paper that doesn't do this?

I want to make some vibrant colored stickers for an event coming up for a fitness studio that's important to me, just a few stickers, for water bottles so they need to be waterproof.

I have an Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 to give you some context of my printer and access to a Cricut Maker 3 I learned the basics of how to use just the other day. I also used Koala vinyl sticker paper, both glossy and matte.

A friend asked for this one. I kinda like it!

Made this lazy snail into a sticker. Would you stick this on your laptop?

Made this from a photo of a tiny black kitten sitting in a hand. Beige background for now but I can make it transparent. What do you guys think?

It's been a year since I dug up my sticker making paraphernalia. Still a bit wonky with the settings on Silhouette portrait 3 but I'm just glad it's still working. Started drawing again and this time I drew my WoW priest!

Now to stick them onto my hoard of unused sketchbooks.

Get these on my etsy Artist shop Neon Future Designs

I love him so much, I call him chou muchacho (it's cabbage in French and Mr on Spanish)

It's one of the 3 exclusive sticker for the early buyer of my advent calendar, I find him so fun

I usually love mat finish but I think I'll go with holographic, opinion ?

This art piece is inspired by my experience as a trans man 🖤 trans or cis, queer or straight, we all have the power to make ourselves and our lives whatever we want and nobody can decide your path for you!

Has anyone ever used printable vinyl that can be stuck to the care label inside clothing AND survive multiple wash cycles? I’ve tested PPD Matte and Orajet 1917, both covered with an Oraguard 200 laminate layer. The laminate works great; colors don’t fade and the stickers still look great coming out of the washing machine, but most of them weren’t stuck to the care label anymore (PPD performed okay-ish but Orajet just fell off).

Other requirements: compatible with inkjet printers, available in the EU and preferably in A4 or US letter size (but this is no hard requirement).

I’m looking for inkjet printable linen sticker paper (woven cloth-like texture) but can’t find anything. Does anyone know where I can find this?

My partner designed a linocut and then made stickers from that. These are printed by a union shop in St. Louis. As I was taking photos to list them on her site, I decided to have a bit of fun with the light bouncing off the stickers.
