In fact, they were top of mind when I first started exploring freebies and similar marketing tools for my side-hustle business. But what I really needed in order to make that happen was a budget-friendly way to test designs and materials before committing to large orders. For me, printable DIY stickers allow me to make sure I know what I want before ordering thousands of stickers for large events. For example, <a href=\"\/blog\/vendor-booth-ideas\/\">when I vend at comic conventions<\/a>, I require a minimum of two thousand stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I started researching methods, I used to think making stickers would be complicated and getting exactly what I wanted would be risky. However, once I discovered printable DIY stickers, I realized how simple and fun it can be. Not only do I make small batches of stickers for my business, but I also really enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/diy-guide-for-how-to-make-planner-stickers\/\">making DIY planner stickers<\/a> for myself too. The bottom line is that whether you want to create custom stickers for yourself or your business, making them yourself is totally doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, I\u2019ll walk you through the four steps I use to create DIY stickers for my business. From choosing the right materials to designing, printing, and even how to cut your stickers. And of course, I&#8217;ll share practical tips and advice I&#8217;ve learned along the way. One thing I want to stress is that you don&#8217;t need fancy equipment or special skills to make your sticker ideas real. So let\u2019s jump right in and get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-articles-you-might-like\">More articles you might like:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/10-ways-to-promote-your-business-with-custom-stickers\/\">10 Ways to Use Stickers to Promote Your Business<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-start-a-sticker-business\/\">How to Start a Sticker Business<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/how-to-make-your-own-product-labels\/\">How To Make Product Labels<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Use Avery Design &amp; Print Online\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uF0G2Nyo3yM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-your-own-stickers-for-printing\">How to make your own stickers for printing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making your own stickers for printing is really only four steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a printable DIY sticker material, for example, Avery printable sticker sheets designed for laser or inkjet printers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create personalized designs.

At Avery we have a few different material options that are great for making stickers, but my favorites are our sticker papers and adhesive vinyl sheets. If you\u2019re new to making stickers at home, one thing that might be confusing is that sticker &#8220;papers&#8221; aren\u2019t necessarily made of paper; they\u2019re just paper-sized adhesive sheets that can be printed on. In fact, sticker papers can actually be a range of materials from paper to vinyl. When it comes to making DIY vinyl stickers, Avery also carries blank, printable adhesive vinyl sheets available by the sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, Avery sticker papers are perfect for indoor uses like packaging, product labels, or small decals for crafts. For the most part, I prefer matte white sticker paper for testing designs. For small batches, I prefer clear and polyester materials because they feel like an upgrade to me. However, if you need something very durable, vinyl stickers are the way to go. They\u2019re waterproof and long-lasting, making them ideal for outdoor packaging or products that need to withstand humidity, dampness, or just more wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of the best Avery products for making DIY stickers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Color\/Finish<\/td><td>Adhesive<\/td><td>Product #<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Polyester<\/td><td>Matte White<\/td><td>Removable<\/td><td><a href=\"\/products\/labels\/61512\">61512<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Clear film<\/td><td>Glossy<\/td><td>Permanent<\/td><td><a href=\"\/products\/labels\/4397\">4397<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vinyl<\/td><td>Matte White<\/td><td>Permanent<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blank\/labels\/94268?material=wwv-film\">94268*<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Paper<\/td><td>Matte White<\/td><td>Repositionable<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/labels\/53202\">53202**<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/labels\/3383\">3383**<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*Sold by the sheet. **Adhesive is repositionable for a short period of time, then sets to become permanent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/image\/upload\/web\/blog\/blog-printable-diy-stickers-4-easy-steps-001.jpg\" alt=\"A white paper bag with a custom die-cut sticker featuring a cartoon peanut mascot wearing a hard hat, white gloves, and a friendly smile.

The bag is placed on a bright red background, with unshelled peanuts spilling out around it, creating a visually appealing contrast.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/image\/upload\/web\/blog\/blog-printable-diy-stickers-4-easy-steps-012.jpg\" alt=\"An open brown cardboard gift box filled with dark blue shredded paper, displaying an assortment of die-cut stickers and a small white cloud-shaped dish.

Designing stickers is one of my favorite ways to get creative while connecting with customers. Over time, I&#8217;ve learned that adding your logo, tagline, or a QR code linking to your website or social media keeps your brand front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When designing for packaging, consider using aesthetic sticker templates that complement your product\u2019s look. Seasonal designs or cohesive colors can give your packaging a thoughtful, polished feel. I also love adding cute DIY stickers like thank-you notes or fun designs as freebies. It\u2019s a small gesture that leaves a lasting impression with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to<strong> <\/strong>DIY sticker design<strong>,<\/strong> decal templates can be a game-changer. They\u2019re perfect for creating logos, promotional stickers, or product labels\u2014no professional designer needed. I love how predesigned templates simplify the process. You can easily add your logo or adjust colors and text to match your brand. It\u2019s a fast, cost-effective way to give your products a cohesive, professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-program-for-printing-stickers\">Best program for printing stickers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A common question I get is, &#8220;<strong>What program do I need to print stickers?<\/strong>&#8221; Personally, I like creating individual designs in Canva<strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>, but Avery Design and Print Online (ADPO) is the best program <em>to format stickers for printing<\/em>. Hands down. This is because there&#8217;s a difference between a program that formats stickers for printing and ones that are just for design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, consider professional software like Adobe Illustrator and a beginner-friendly tool like Canva. Both are fantastic for creating designs, but neither helps you format designs for printable DIY sticker materials. Like Canva, ADPO has many predesigns you can personalize to get a professional look even if you&#8217;re new to design. However, what really stands out is the way ADPO templates perfectly format your designs for printing. ADPO also provides several different ways to preview your designs before printing to ensure they print accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-print-your-stickers\">3) Print Your Stickers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re working with printable DIY stickers from Avery and ADPO software, you don&#8217;t need specialized equipment or an expensive program. All you need is an internet connection and a regular inkjet or laser printer. As long as you pick sticker materials that work with the printer you have you&#8217;ll be fine. For example, if you have a laser printer, choose a material that is designed for use with laser printers. Or, choose a material that&#8217;s specifically meant to be used in either a laser <strong><em>or <\/em><\/strong>inkjet printer. That&#8217;s just a good rule of thumb for printing any type of stickers or labels, and we have a whole article <a href=\"\/blog\/what-kind-of-printer-do-i-need-for-printing-labels\/\">breaking down printer and label compatibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ask me, the beauty of making printable DIY stickers is that it&#8217;s a budget-friendly option for small batches that gives you control over the process. Of course, if you&#8217;re working with larger quantities or need professional finishes, <a href=\"\/custom-printing\/\">a printing service like Avery WePrint<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is super helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-kind-of-printer-do-i-need-to-make-stickers\"><strong>What kind of printer do I need to make stickers?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned above, you can totally print stickers with a regular printer\u2014just match the sticker material to the type of printer you have. However, if you&#8217;re trying to decide on the type of printer to buy for making stickers, I do have some advice. In my experience, inkjet printers are the best choice if you want to print saturated, colorful designs. Think photo stickers or vibrant, full-bleed designs. On the flip side, if you want to make large batches of printable DIY stickers or need extra durability, laser printers are the better choice. Many waterproof and durable materials are only compatible with laser printers, so if you need stickers for packaging that may get wet, I recommend a laser printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-printing-clear-stickers-on-an-inkjet-printer\">Printing clear stickers on an inkjet printer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been asked a few times how to print clear stickers on an inkjet printer. It really is a matter of printer compatibility. Many off-brand clear sticker sheets either don&#8217;t list a recommended printer, or they&#8217;re only compatible with laser printers. <strong><em>Using the wrong labels with your printer will always end badly, either with melted labels or smudged and smearing ink. Period.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The absolute best advice I can give for printing clear stickers on an inkjet printer is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/labels\/4397\">Avery 4397 glossy clear sticker paper<\/a>. It&#8217;s specifically engineered to work with both laser and inkjet printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t stress enough that you should avoid any printable, DIY sticker material that isn&#8217;t explicitly marked as compatible with the type of printer you have. It&#8217;s important because laser printers use heat and inkjet printers use wet ink. Have you ever sprayed something plastic with water? It doesn&#8217;t absorb. Or, how about putting a plastic container in the microwave too long? Plastics (which is what clear film is made of) don&#8217;t naturally absorb liquid or withstand high heat, so you have to make sure the sticker material is designed to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-cut-out-your-diy-stickers\">4) Cut out your DIY stickers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to cutting stickers for your small business, there are practical options to fit any project size. For small batches, hand-cutting works perfectly\u2014especially if you\u2019re just starting out or making limited designs. For example, when I&#8217;m making printable DIY stickers to test a design, I like to use a rotary blade tool. It&#8217;s a tool that I already use for lots of different crafts, so it&#8217;s budget-friendly and doesn\u2019t require extra equipment. However, you will need a cutting machine if you want to make DIY kiss-cut sticker sheets. If you&#8217;re also dealing with larger quantities or want a more professional finish, cutting machines make a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/image\/upload\/web\/blog\/blog-printable-diy-stickers-4-easy-steps-002.jpg\" alt=\"Two sheets of custom-printed round stickers with a dark botanical design and the words &quot;Dark Botany&quot; in an elegant script font. The stickers are printed on a kiss-cut label sheet, allowing for easy peeling while keeping the backing intact. Each sheet features six stickers, arranged in two columns of three. The background of the stickers has a moody green leaf pattern, complementing the white and gold typography. The sheets are displayed on a neutral beige surface.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/image\/upload\/web\/blog\/blog-printable-diy-stickers-4-easy-steps-003.jpg\" alt=\"A hand holds a transparent die-cut sticker featuring an illustrated corgi surfing on a small orange surfboard. The sticker is placed on the tip of the index finger, showing its flexible, clear material. In the background, four more identical stickers with a white border and the words &quot;MO SURF&quot; in bold blue text are fanned out against a soft pink backdrop. The die-cut edges follow the shape of the corgi illustration, making the stickers visually distinct.\"\/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">An example of kiss-cut stickers on a sheet versus die-cut stickers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kiss-cut-vs-die-cut-sticker-s\"><strong>Kiss-cut vs. die-cut sticker<\/strong>s<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kiss-cutting is the method used to create sticker (or label) sheets because just the top sticker layer is cut, leaving the backing intact. Die-cutting goes through both the sticker and the backing and is usually used for individual sticker designs. Both types of cutting work well for making your own printable DIY stickers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which method you should choose really just depends on what you want to do with the stickers. When I create freebie stickers for convention giveaways, I make one design with my logo meant for water bottles, laptops, etc., so for that use, I prefer die-cut stickers. For exclusive extras that I use to upsell bundled items, I like to offer a sticker sheet with multiple designs. Think of sticker sheets you might want to sell, like planner stickers. For that use, a machine that can kiss cut is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want a deep dive?
