Hi! My name’s Maple, and if you’ve never heard of me, I am rapidly approaching you at a very fast speed to talk about putting paper up on phone boxes. Wait no why are you running why are yoU RUNNING
For the past few years of my life I’ve been taking up the hobby of sticker slapping and it’s been a very fun way of interacting with the world. Being able to leave a message or a drawing anywhere you want for anyone to potentially see and become inspired, joyous or just plain confused by is an extremely powerful feeling I’ll never tire of, and it’s helped me to connect with a whole new world of artists I may not have otherwise. Of course, I’m always looking to indoctricate and assimilate new victims into the craft and I’ve had quite a few friends ask me how I make stickers and where they should start. Hence this guide, which should cover a lot of the basics! I can’t promise I’ll cover everything - while I’ve been at this for a while I do NOT claim to be an expert on this, I’m mostly just writing this up for fun - but I hope it inspires you to at least give sticker slapping a try!
[warning - this is long]
