How to Make Stickers with Tape?
Tape is one of the most commonly used adhesives for all sorts of projects. It can be used for making paper crafts, bookmarks, notebooks, and so many other things. But it’s also great for making stickers.
Now, let’s get into how to make stickers with tape. Stickers are quite easy to make and they require few ingredients such as paper, tape, scissors, and glue. The only other thing you need is patience to wait for your sticker to dry properly.
What do You need to make stickers?
Step 1:
Take your paper and cut it in the shape you want your sticker to be. In this case, I have a square piece of paper.
Step 2:
Using your glue and craft knife, cut out a small strip of paper from the middle part of your square piece of paper. If you want to make some fancy shapes then follow these instructions.
Step 3:
Now start sticking together the two pieces of paper using your tape. You can use either just one side or both sides depending on the shape you want to create. I have done both but since I’m only making a small square sticker, I’m only using one side for now.
Step 4:
Wait for about 30 minutes (longer if you have more adhesive left in the roll of tape) and stick the sticker to your book or notebook. You can also use it as a bookmark if you want.
