How to Make 3D Sticker Embellishments

Stickers make ideal decorations for scrapbook pages, cards and other paper items. Three-dimensional stickers are even better, as they add a new depth to the object. Making your own stickers can be a fun project, and will ensure that you get exactly the effect you want.

Things You'll Need

• Cardstock
• Double-backed sticky dots
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Decorative items

Instructions

1. Find pictures or magazines cut-outs of objects, symbols or signs you would like to recreate in sticker form. Select an appropriate cardstock for the main design element or background.

2. Draw the design you desire in pencil. Cut out the design. Use markers, pens and other layers of cardstock to create the basic form of the object. Glue the cardstock pieces together with a glue stick. Hold in place for several seconds to make sure it is secure.

3. Add glitter, ribbons, rhinestones and other decorative items to complete the look of your sticker. Give everything plenty of time to dry and make sure nothing gets in the way that will disrupt the drying process or will separate the layers of cardstock.

4. Take one of the sticky dots and remove one side of the white backing. Stick the adhesive to the back of the sticker. Hold firmly in place for several seconds to make sure it sticks. When you're ready to use the sticker, simply remove the other white backing of the sticky and press the sticker in place.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't expose the stickers to excessive heat and/or sunlight, as the sticky dots may become ruined.
