What you need
Step by step
- 01
Draw or export your art at 300 dpi. Keep a 2–3 mm quiet border around the shape so the cut does not shave the ink.
- 02
If you only have scissors: print on sticker paper, let the ink dry, then cut just outside the line. For a glossy finish, cover with clear tape before you cut.
- 03
If you have a cutter: place the print on the mat, set the machine to kiss-cut (top layer only), and run a test on a corner of scrap first.
- 04
Weed the extra paper around each sticker. Press one onto a water bottle or notebook and wait an hour before washing the bottle.
- 05
Store unused sheets flat, away from sun. Heat warps vinyl and makes the next cut drift.

Notes
- Inkjet ink smears on some vinyl until it is sealed. Laser toner is more water-resistant out of the tray.
- Do not print copyrighted characters and sell them. Your own drawings and lettering are the safe lane.
- A full sheet of 2-inch round stickers is a good first run — you will learn alignment before you design a die-cut shape.
