DIY Tutorial: Make a Sticker

We mentioned last week that we'd come back with a tutorial on how to use the Xyron 150 "Create a Sticker" machine.


Here's the machine on top of our paper.


This is the back of our Martha Stewart Scalloped Circle Punch.
It is helpful because it helps you position your paper "just so."


Go ahead and insert your paper.


Squeeze the punch firmly.


Drop your punched paper in the middle of the Xyron 150's slot.


On the opposite side, you can see where to start pulling the tape.


Pull until your paper has cleared the cutting edge.
(If you pull too far, the only consequence is wasted adhesive tape).


You almost have a sticker now.


Flip it over and rub it several times.
Five-year-olds are good at this part.


Flip it back over and peel off the clear top layer.
Wee Festivity would like to thank our hand model, the Noodle.


The cookies never lie.
Wasn't that easy?


On a separate note, these stickers are perfect for sealing wax paper bags.
And wax paper bags are a great alternative to plastic zip bags!

Thank you for the sticker making tutorial, especially the photos. The info was exactly what I was looking for, and I need something that detailed and step-by-step!
