🟣 Being honest, I don't know much about sticker makers,,, ones I know are those that like create stickers through heat instead of ink? That's still an odd term for me

But regarding stickers, the way I myself started was by sending off to make on a local printing place in my city! It's an excelent way to print and get lots of stickers for a cheaper price for a start, since other companies usually ask to print a large number of stickers and you can end up with leftover in any case that a design don't sell out well.

Also, being a place that already prints, the quiality tends to be good! But always is a good idea to print samples from different places and choose the one that adjusts better! (Principal points being: Quality, price, and location)

🟣 Other really way to start is by simply printing the stickers yourself! If you have a nice printer already, then that is a good option! Finding a sticker paper (it being bond, couche, photo, or even vynil if you wanna really push it!) that you think you would like, and start printing!

Would suggest as well doing printing samples on normal paper to play with the configurations that your printer can offer- believe me that depending on the quiality you set it on the color vary quite a bit!

🟣 Now, about pins! We go back to the first point; find a place that can make them in small quantities! That's how I started with my first pins,,, which I didn't last long anyway, but it's still a good way to as well start and see what sells and what not.

🟣 But if what you would like is to make them at home by yourself, then the alternative is to invest in a button press; there's a large range of them at different prices, different accesories, sizes- it all depends on what you would like to start with!

The one I recently got for myself is the We R Memory Keepers' press, and honestly I would recommend it! It has it's on cutting inserts, it's light, easy to use, and honestly real cute- seeing that the pins were attracting attention I purchased it along with a bigger insert of 2.25in (it comes already with a 1.45in insert, which is a good size but I like bigger pins gjhngfjn) on a sale.

Aaaaand basically for the images, you can print them yourself! Again, sending them to print somewhere else, or on your printer- either way works!

Sooo I guess those are all your questions! I hope I could help with anything that anyone needs! Any other questions can send to me too! I hope nothing but the best for anyone that has decided to start on their own business- it's really exciting to see different people's art styles coming to life with their produts.
