snake_tooth Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 yo it would be cool if people could share how they make stickers, like how to make then waterproof and good pens to use etc, :yuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeRVe54 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 well i use sharpies and postal stickers. adhesives (especially spray adhesives) are very expensive, or at least to me they are. but with them id imagine your sticker would last a very long time. and with that you could also prolly just use paper instead of a real sticker. mostly i did characters or bombed a lil bit if i was outta state. but umm im not really that good with this shit, it aint really my area of expertise ya know. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1991 champ Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 for waterproof shit use the prismatic (sparkly)sticker sheets from craft stores. you could cut em down to get more for your $ and use good paint pens/perm. markers for your shit. the sticks are vinylish so theyll last......

GnomeToys Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I use a special adhesive that I make myself, but I can only make about 2 Tablespoons at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post why? for another sticker, if u go to office depot or another store like it you can find sticker sheets the size of printer or notebook paper and come in packs of like 100. You can cut then to get more and even print out designs from the computer because it fits in your computer printeer They are paper front with sticky adhesive back im not sure how much they cost but i think its worth a try.

Tavarua Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I found that prisma colors are no good for stickers... they faded in the summer weather conditions in under a month. Use those to sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_tooth Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 what pens do u use for stickers then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACEoNe-Sf Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 usually i use postal stickers and deco markers. i paint the background of the sticker a different color and leave the blue part alone it gives the sticker a unique look. it looks alot better than having a bomb or tag on a white label all the time(dont forget to use deco markers they are the best color and weather resistant to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keep rockin it Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 for UPS sticks, I just use sharpies and decos. sometimes I cut off the blue part but i usually write something up there in a white out pen or something for fun. stands out alot. for hello sticks the sharpies are a little hard to use because of the texture but try the chisel tip ones and decos.

midas_ups Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 on ebay you can get hold of a4 sticky sheets, there usualy classed as labels-one per sheet, just type in adhesive paper etc, youl have to search. i usually get about 100 for a tenner , there real good, last for aggges. If u have any contacts in the usa u can get hold of usps labels if ya ask nicely as for the uk, postoffice have stopped the sticky orange signed fors. best bet is to chek behind large supermarkets, where all the waste is, i found 2 huge rolls of waste control labes, about 6 inches by 4 and at least 500 on each roll.

levbot>>>LTP Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 alright, i make a rediculous amount of stickers, like 30 a day, then go put them in crazy ass places. I have put together a little guide on making them for all you newbies to the art, it is really fun. ===================== GETTING STICKERS: UPS- the best spots to get stickers are, of course, the UPS stickers. but not everybody can get those, like people in the UK and in places where UPS stickers are only used by toys. Factory- You can look in your phonebook and find companies that manufacture stickers, even if the factory is hours away, it is worth it. go into their recycling/trash, and you will find THOUSANDS OF SHEETS of "defective" stickers, usually they just have a smudge on them, and they throw them out. that can get you enough stickers to last a year or so if you go at a good time. Others- At stores, you can find permanent labels in almost every size and form, and nice little 25 packs for a few bucks. just bring a knife to the store and slit them open, and slip the blank stickers in your pocket. if they search you and find blank stickers, they gewt really confused and will probabaly let you go. ========================= PENS: this is how you spot a toy: a sticker with the writing hella faded because he used a shitty sticker pen. Good pens: Deco-color pens rock at this.. they roll really smooth, and last longer than the sticker itself. BLACK sharpies also work, but marks-a-lot pens are better, and last longer. just use common sense, don't waste good krink on a sticker that might get ripped off the next day by some do-gooder. Bad Pens: Prismacolor pens look hella fine, but fade in days, especially in summer, tavura nailed it when he said that they fade like hell in summer conditions. colored sharpies have the exact same effect, i was really dissapointed to see a sticker i worked hard on literally dissepear off the sticker in the blazing hot summer. use common sense with pens, if it dosen't work well on a wall, it will do the same, if not worse, on a sticker. also, do not use really good ink (like krink or price marking ink), it's just stupid. ==========================-============ STYLE heres the deal, nothing pisses a writer more than seeing some shitty piece on a little sticker next to his work. so only do throws, handstyles, or characters... try doing some simple household object, those are the coolest. seeing a thermostat sticker is so fucking awesome. if you cannot piece, then don't. not sure if you can? then don't. ================= GETTING UP getting up with stickers is simple. make about 50 wallet-sze ones, and wherever you go, just unstick them, put them on your palm, and casually rest your hand on an object. when you get home, put them in you wallet. when you run out, make 50 more. do not try to look cool by "slapping it" you will just end up with a red palm, a wrinkled sticker, and some old retard chasing you down the street. Height: the higher, the better. last halloween, i was hella drunk and put 30 stickers in a line on the white crosswalk lines. they stuck hella well due to cars going over them, but lost hella respect. so climb a tree, and put you shit as high up. make sure it is big enough writing to read from below, and if you see a special circumstance to put up a high sticker (like a ladder or some crates) then put it on hella high, so when the ladder is gone people will see a random sticke 30 feet up and scratch their heads. A monkey: if you have a friend or sibling who seems like he can climb like fuck, give him a quarter and tell them to put a sticker up on top of a sign. works like a charm. I have a little friend who can climb everthing. I pay him 25 cents for each sticker over 20 feet up. =============== I hope this guide helps you.... thanks ppl for helping me get ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
