Do you want to add a bit of sparkle and personality to your craft projects? Glitter letter stickers are an easy way to do just that! These eye-catching adornments can make your work stand out from cards to scrapbooking. Whether you’re looking for something special or want to add a touch of class, custom glitter stickers are the perfect choice.
Here's how you can make your own with this simple tutorial! We'll review the process of creating the letters and tips for using them in any project. Get ready - it's time to get creative!
Find a font you love
Who says you need to be a graphic designer to make letter stickers? All you need is a font you love! Fonts come in all shapes and sizes, from classic serifs to quirky handwritten styles. They can convey a mood, add personality, and make your stickers unique.
So, instead of stressing over design elements, focus on picking the perfect font for your project. Whether you want to add a touch of elegance with a script font or make a bold statement with a sans serif, your chosen font will set the tone for your project. So go ahead, embrace your inner font nerd and start creating!
Pro tip: If you find a particular font you love, we recommend converting it to an outline before sending it to print. This locks your font and ensures it won't format awkwardly when you order glitter stickers. Here's a video on how to convert fonts to outlines:
Create a custom cutline
Think about the shape you want your letters to have. Do you want them die-cut? That means each letter will have the shape of that letter. If so, you need to create a custom cutline around each letter.
This is much easier than it sounds and we even have a tutorial for you:
If you get your designs professionally printed, you can skip this step. The design team can create a custom cutline for you.
Select your size
Now that you have your shape, it’s time to decide what size you want your letters to be. Do you want them big or small? Chunky or thin? The possibilities are endless! So take some time to experiment with different sizes until you find the one that’s right for your project.
If you have a size you are happy with, view your design at scale and do a test print. This is a great way to get a feeling for the right size. Are they big enough to be cut? Are they too small for your scrapbook?
Stickers or sheets?
Before sending your letters to print, think about how you will use them. Will you hand out your letter stickers? Then individually cut stickers can be great.
Do you want several copies of each letter on a sheet? Then get sticker sheets for fast and easy peeling. This is also a great option for detailed and intricate fonts. You can use them as free gifts with water bottles or refillable containers and allow people to customise them.
Send them off to print
Now that your design is ready you can send your glitter stickers off to print. If you have chosen a professional sticker printer, your work here is done and you can lean back.
