Instructions
Purchase self-adhesive sticker paper from an office or craft store. Be sure to buy paper that is compatible with your system--if you have an inkjet printer, don't buy laser paper. Also, make sure the paper is the right size for your printer. Some computer papers are designed for 12-inch wide scrapbook pages. If your printer only accepts 8.5 by 11-inch paper, that won't work.
Decide which photographs you want to print. If your photos were taken with a digital camera, they should be fine for stickers. Photographs downloaded from websites are not suitable for printing because they are usually too small and low resolution. They will look blurry when printed.
Go to the website of the company that manufactured your sticker sheets. Download the free template for your stickers. Be sure to click on "Save" to save the file to your computer.
Open the template you just downloaded in Microsoft Word. Rename the template by clicking on "File" and "Save As." This way you'll have the original template available for future projects.
Click "Insert," "Picture" then "From File" to select a picture to place on the sticker template. When you select the photo, it will appear on the template. Click on the photo again to display the resizing guides on the edges of the photo. Move these guides with your cursor to fit the photo inside the template lines.
Insert more photos into your sticker template, or if you prefer, make a sheet of the same stickers. Do this by clicking on the image you want to copy. Click on "Edit" then "Copy." Move your cursor over the spot you want to fill. Click on "Edit" again, then "Paste."
Once you've filled your sticker page, you're ready to print. Check with the sticker paper package, or the manufacturer's website, to see what printer settings are required.
