Have you ever drawn something awesome in Procreate and thought to yourself, this would make such a cool sticker…but how???
There are many ways to produce stickers, from DIY to professional manufacturing. In this new tutorial mini-series, I’ll teach you three different methods for making stickers: printing at home and cutting them out by hand, how to make stickers with Procreate and a Cricut machine, and all about ordering professionally printed stickers. I’ve also made a Sticker Resource Page with tips about setting up sticker sheets, outlines and cutlines, great places to order your stickers, sticker vocabulary, and so much more!
The first video about printing and cutting stickers by hand is live now! The other two videos will be coming out within the next week, with lots more information and tips on the resource page to come.
How about making some stickers out of your MAE art this week?
Week 21: Creative Hobbies
Aside from drawing, do you have any other creative hobbies? I love things like sewing, woodworking, and baking. This week, our prompts are all about hobbies and interests of the creative variety. For each prompt, the idea here is to draw the tools and materials, or maybe even a completed project related to that hobby. Here are some ideas I came up with for each of the prompts:

In this video, I will walk you through how I created stickers at home using the print & cut by hand method. I will show you how to get all your artwork onto one page to make a sticker sheet, how to print directly from your iPad, review different inkjet sticker papers, including a durability test, and the pros and cons of this method.
