The only thing more fun than collecting stickers is having a sticker collection you've designed yourself. Choose images from wrapping paper or magazines and cut out along outlines, or punch shapes from decorative papers using a craft punch. Once backed with glue and allowed to dry, they can be remoistened later and stuck on notebooks, lunch bags, stationery—just about anything. Here, we're showing you how to make your owns stickers at home.

What you need

Materials

White Elmer's Washable School Glue ($1.49, target.com)
White vinegar
Small paint or pastry brush
Scissors or a craft punch (Martha Stewart Collection Scissors, $22.95, amazon.com)

How to do it

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together white Elmer's Washable School Glue with an equal amount of white vinegar until you have a thin, milky liquid. Using a small paint brush or a pastry brush, smear the back of the paper sparingly with the glue mixture.

Step 2

Allow it to dry, then apply a second coat, and allow it to dry again. Next, use scissors or a craft punch to cut out desired shapes. Although the glue is nontoxic, it doesn't taste very good, so for a mass sticking, use a dampened sponge to moisten the back of stickers.
