Spooky Stickers

Hi, I'm Evette Rios, here on eHow.com. I wanted to share with you guys, one of the ways that I like to make my own D.I.Y. spooky stickers. Just in time for Halloween decorating. So, you print out some spooky images. And I love these, like very old fashioned etchings, or like, black and white line drawings like this. I just pulled these from the Internet. But you want to make sure you print it out on a laser printer. So, those big Mama-Jamas that they have at all sorts of printer stores. Those are the ones you need, your Inkjet printer at home, unfortunately is not going to work for this project. So, what I actually did is, I picked the ones that I wanted, I put it on a little flash drive. And I brought it to my local print shop, and printed it on laser paper. So, just print these out. So, I'm going to grab this one, the skull, it's so creepy. So, I'm gong to just put that down, and take a little bit of the tape, and just put it right over it. And you want to make sure that the image that you have is actually the right size for the tape. So, I'm going to cut it off on the sides. So, you're just going to trim the tape around the outside of your image, like this. Then, you can use your finger nail, and just kind of press it like this. Or, I'm just using the back side of my scissors, and you're just going to scrape it. Because you want to transfer the ink onto the tape, I know, it's pretty amazing. Like it almost becomes like a little bit darker in the places where you've scraped it well enough, that's pretty good. And then, I'm going to trim off the excess, like that. And you can also, you can decide to kind of cut around it and be really detailed about it, you know, where you cut it. Or, you can kind of give it an idea of the outline, or you can just keep it as a square sticker, it's really up to you. But I'm going to sort of, cut around it, like this, and perfect. Then, you just throw it in water, just plain, old water, just like that. And just make sure it gets good and wet, that's good. And then, you're going to start rubbing off, see, you can see that the image is now on the plastic. And the tape actually still has some stickiness to it, so you can use it just like this. Or, if you wanted to do like a more permanent adhesive, you could always use a little bit of glue. So, I'm just going to dry this off, real good, because if it's wet, it's not going to be as sticky. Swing them out to dry for a little bit, here we go, got most of that moisture. And then, I've got a jar right over here, that I was going to try to spookify in time for Halloween. So, I'm just going to stick them right on there, and just really squish them down. And then, you're just going to press it down, make sure you rub it on really good. And there you go, how cool is that instant sticker. You can fill this with candy, you could put candles in there. And you've got a very festive, and I would say, kind of spooky accent.
