Make your own stickers however you like and then use them to decorate artwork, cards, gifts, notebooks, and more!
Updated April 2025
Making your own stickers with label paper is a fun and simple way to get creative! Kids love it because they can turn their drawings into real stickers they can peel and stick anywhere.
It’s a mess-free activity that only requires basic supplies—just some label paper, watercolors (or any drawing tool), and scissors. Whether you’re decorating notebooks, making cards, or adding a personal touch to gifts, homemade stickers make everything more special. Plus, it’s a great way for kids to express themselves and feel proud of their artwork!
You can even create themed sticker sets for holidays, favorite animals, or Bible verses. Once they get started, kids often come up with tons of sticker ideas all on their own!
