Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Always wanted to start making stickers of your art, but aren’t ready to commit to ordering hundreds at a time? Then let me show you how to make high-quality stickers at home that are ready to sell!

Hello, I’m Taylor! As well as being a full-time artist and Skillshare top teacher, I also run a cat-themed stationery brand out of my home in Virginia. It’s grown from creating stickers of my work at home for fun to use in my planner to a full-fledged shop that sells hundreds of stickers to people all over the US.

Being able to create stickers of my designs anytime I want has allowed me to test products on a smaller scale to see what my customers want before shelling out big money to have them manufactured in the hundreds, which has allowed me to grow my business in a more sustainable way. It's also super fun to be able to create a sticker of anything and everything!

In this class, you'll learn how to: 

  • Choose what artwork will create the best stickers
  • Prep your artwork for sticker making
  • Use your Silhouette cutting machine
  • Troubleshoot any technical issues that may come up

Overall, this class is perfect for anyone who already owns a cutting machine but needs help getting into sticker making. Or anyone who is looking into making their own stickers at home, but would love to see the whole process before taking the plunge to purchase your own machine!

Other than some high-quality sticker paper, all you need is some artwork, a Silhouette (or Cricut) machine, and access to a printer. I also have lots of other suggestions for fun things you can invest in to make your sticker-making process easier!

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to create all kinds of stickers at home from your artwork anytime you’d like.
