You will need:
-some plain white sticky labels that you get on rolls/sheets
-pens/pencils (for outlines)
-colours: pencil/watercolour/pen/crayon etc.
-scissors
That's everything! You probably already have all of these in your homes, but if you don't, they are all in abundance in many shops.
Step 1:
Keeping the label on its roll/sheet, draw different things (literally anything) onto it - for this, I like to use a thin black pen, and I make my sketches quite simple, almost like cartoons. Fit as many as you can on the label (your drawings can be any size), but make sure they're not touching, as you want them to end up as separate stickers.
Step 2:
Add some colour to them! Fill in that star, add some green to your tree - make them come to life! There is no wrong way to do this, of course, and you don't have to use any colour if you don't want to; you could have some lovely black and white ones instead.
Step 3:
Simply cut around your drawings, still keeping the label on its roll/sheet. I like to give my stickers smooth, rounded edges, but you can cut yours however you like.
Step 4:
Now that your stickers are all separated, start sticking! Just peel off the back and paste them wherever you want. I'm sure others would really appreciate them if you slipped them into envelopes along with letters, for them to stick down. Who wouldn't like homemade stickers?
I think these stickers are great, because they're so simple to make, they look great, and you can get loads of stickers out of just one label!
