Make + Print your own stickers with StickerYou.com




    We use stickers a lot in this house. We use them for potty training, chore charts, decorations, labeling, trading and more. So not only can we never have enough of them, but we also love it when we can have them customized. Now we can make our own, without downloading any software, right on our own computer thanks to www.StickerYou.com.


    Our family got the chance to review the Make + Print Your Own Stickers with 40 of the large rectangle glossy stickers. I was going to print 2 sheets for each of the boys, but I messed this up. So hopefully by me sharing with you what I did, you won't repeat my mistake. Once we got it right though, they came out great and it is super easy.


    First you go to StickerYou.com and click on make+print. It will then have a place for you to type in your code that is provided with your package of blank stickers. After you type in the code, it will bring you to the designer with the template of the size stickers you ordered. This way you don't make the mistake of designing the wrong size label / sticker. They have lots of images and backgrounds that you can add to the stickers. I was going to do picture labels, because I usually take any chance I get to make custom photo labels, but I have plenty of those right now so I went with something the kids would love.


    Those smudges on the pictures are not the printing. I did that in photoshop to hide my kiddies real names. I did a dragon for the oldest, 'pixar' cars theme for the middle son Spongebob for the youngest. The boys loved them and they are going to use them on labeling their school supplies. The youngest is putting them on his special toys since he is not in school yet :)


    Where I messed up was ... there is an arrow on the blank sticker sheet to tell you how to put the paper in the printer. However, the printer I used did not feed the way others do. I was using a big Oki printer at the library for better printing and it happened to print on the sheet upside down. You can see this where the name is cut off. Also, there were more checkered stripes that I had on top.


   As you can see in the picture below, we just turned the paper around and it straightened out. So just to make sure, I would run a test sheet on regular computer by marking the bottom of it with an arrow like what is on the blank sticker sheet and see if it will print right in your printer first before you waste the stickers like I did. Not all printers will feed the same.
   They offer many different shapes and sizes to meet your needs for whatever you may want to make stickers for. You can find them at:

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
