Where to get custom stickers for your indie craft business

People love stickers and they especially love FREE stickers.

Back in the day I remember being so so happy when I found some colored sticker paper that I could run through the copiers at Kinko’s to make stickers that said “F**K WORK” (except with out the astrics) or “OBEY your Television”. There was no internet, well, there was…but it didn’t offer jack as far as finding printers for stickers at affordable prices.

I’ve used two vendors – The Sticker Guy and Sticker Junkie an both are reasonably priced, timely and good quality.

Sticker Junkie actually ends up being more expensive but they have a handy dandy little flash sticker builder on their site – so if you just need text and can use one of their stock images then you may want to just go with them.

If you’re comfortable in Adobe Illustrator and want a fancier, cheaper sticker with more size and color options than Sticker Guy might be for you.

Now, I would love to hear about other vendors people have used.

The internet provides me with these possibilities:
Sticker Giant – This looks okay but frankly theiur site sucks and is kind of confusing.

Zazzle – I’ve used zazzle for business cards and I like them. They’re FAST.

123 Stickers – Could be okay but really? Email for prices? No, I crave instant gratification and do not want to have to actually have contact with another human being.

Sticker Robot – They look good! They’ll do a hole punch and a kiss cut (awesome if you’re using them for tags), plus they’ll die cut and give you an instant quote.

What else have y’all found?

Trees are an essential part of nature, both for the oxygen they produce and the habitats they provide to animals. But if you don’t live near a forest you might not think about all that happens within them very much.

The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals and Fungi, by Klára Holik, Ivi Niesner and Jana Sedlácková explores the inner workings of the forest, from the biggest trees to the smallest parasites, answering questions about the forest and sharing basic information about different kinds of forests, the water cycle, how to visit the forest and more. It’s aimed at kids ages 6 to 9.

It starts at the beginning with information on where seeds come from, how pollination happens and different creatures (and mechanisms like wind) that help move tree seeds and other seeds around in different forests. It talks about photosynthesis, how trees communicate with each other, tree rings, layers of the forest, how tree seeds move and how fungi and trees help each other.

Readers will learn about the oldest known fungus in the world, how ants help other animals to reproduce and what plant and animal parasites make trouble in the forest.

The book also covers decomposition, an overview of forest types from around the world (including the heaviest living organism), how fire affects forests, animals of the rainforest and swamp and ways people use wood.

Information is presented in bite-sized segments, with cartoony illustrations that are somewhat accurate to nature. You can check out some of the pages and watch a flip through on the publisher’s website.

It also includes forest experiments kids can try, such as building bird houses, looking for springs and checking ingredients on snack foods for palm oil, which comes from the rainforest. There’s also information on the best way to visit the forest to be respectful of the organisms that live there.

In the back you’ll find a glossary of some of the important words included in the book, and there’s a QR code teachers or parents can scan to get more information or learning resources.

This book provides a nice overview of life in the forest and how the plants and animals work together to keep it growing the way it needs to. It also covers a little bit of what humans can do to protect the forests we have left.

About the book: 64 pages, hardcover. Published 2024 by Albatross Books. Suggested retail price $18.95
