How to Make Your Own Photo Stickers

Stickers are popular for everything from scrapbooking, to adding a personal detail to special gifts and notes as well as for adding fun and whimsy to just about any occasion. Some children also love to collect stickers in a sticker book, and they often enjoy simply playing with arranging stickers. A set of personalized photo stickers which display a favorite image of yourself or your family make sticker collections even more fun. Personalized photo stickers are not only easy to make, but they take little effort to create and can be done right from the privacy of your own home.

      Many websites online offer you the ability to order personalized photo stickers.

      Use an online service for creating your own personalized photo stickers. Sites like Snapfish, CafePress, Zazzle and Kodak all offer the ability for you to create your own personalized photo stickers. Create an account with the site of your choice, and then log in to select the photo sticker project. The website system will prompt you to upload your photo image directly from your computer, and you can usually arrange the photo image on different shapes and sizes of stickers in order to determine which layout works best for the image. Once you are satisfied, simply place your order and your personalized photo stickers will be sent directly to your home.

      Set your printer to print on the sticker sheets just like address sheets.

      Print photo stickers at home using special sheets of sticker paper which can be found at most office supply stores, and some crafting stores, next to the photo paper or address labels. Open an image file on your computer and access the printer function to set your print options for the image just as you would to print a sheet of address labels. Some printer functions allow you to enter the manufacturer name and identification code from the package of sticker paper so the printer will automatically print within the parameters of the sticker pages. Other print functions will require you enter the print parameters by manually entering the size of each sticker's border on the sticker sheet.

      Be sure your printer is set to produce the highest quality images.

      Check to be sure that your printer is set to print to the highest resolution quality of printing, which uses more printer ink to produce a crisp, clear image. Most printers are also equipped with a lower quality printing option, which can produce a fuzzy, spotty image. Align the sticker sheet in the printer's paper feeder and select the print option. Once the stickers are printed, you may further alter your photo stickers by trimming them to the desired size with scissors or laminating the surface of the printer ink to protect the image for years to come.
