DIY Stickers!

Hi everyone!  Well I start my final 4 week teaching practical placement on Monday, and I just can't wait!!  I have been placed with a Grade 3 class at a local girls' private school, so I consider myself very lucky that I have managed to avoid having to travel away from our town and my family!

I have been trying to get some things prepared before I start on Monday.  I am a huge sticker fan, but unfortunately there is a distinct lack of any lovely stickers in our small town....so today I decided to make my own.  I was looking at purchasing blank pre-made sticker sheets, but they were really expensive and the ones I was looking at didn't come with a template for word processing.  My lovely husband suggested I just use address labels...so I did!

I purchased a pack of Avery brand Address Labels (J8160) and found that my Open Office word processing program actually already had the template for these labels installed...Yahoo!!!  I used lots of different clip art (mostly my favourites from ThistleGirl Designs) and lots of fun fonts.  Just a little bit of cutting with my rotary cutter, and they are all packed into my sticker box, ready for Monday!  I think they turned out so well, what do you think?

Being the frugal girl that I am...I managed to get two stickers onto each label....so that is 1050 stickers in total!!!  The best thing is, they are custom made and so much cuter than anything I could find in the stores:)

I don't think I will ever buy stickers again!! (oh, OK...maybe DIY scratch 'n Sniff stickers may be a bit out of my league)!  These were so easy to make, why not give them a go?

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead!
