Printing
Magnetic Bumper Stickers
Before
you
begin
Read the
manufacture’s
specifications supplied with your computer printer to be sure your
printer can except magnetic sheets. Each printer will handle thicker
materials differently than plain paper stock so some experimentation
will be necessary. For example to get a ½” top
border
using magnetic sheets in my printer; I must set the page set-up
parameters to a 1” top margin
Print
and Trim
Print your Rose Bowl Bumper
Stickers on the magnetic sheets following the manufacturer’s
instructions on both the magnetic sheets and your computer printer. For
longevity coat the printed surface with a clear acrylic spray
(optional). Using a paper cutter or sharp scissors cut the magnetic
bumper stickers to the desired size.
Let’s
get started on your DIY paper bumper sticker.
Materials
you will need:
- Double sided tape - also
known as carpet tape. *NOTE: Carpet tape is designed to be
permanent and may mar anything it comes into contact with it. Avoid the
“cloth type” tape it does not look as nice, it is
heavier
and is harder to work with.
- Mineral spirits to clean glue
from tools. - I use odorless. *NOTE: Some glue from
the
carpet tape will be transferred to your tools. Periodic cleaning will
give your homemade bumper stickers a nice clean cut edge.
- Clear acrylic spray for longevity (optional).
Make
Your Own Homemade bumper stickers in 5 easy steps.
- Using heavy paper stock print the bumper
sticker pattern of your choice.
- Place the carpet tape on the back of the
sticker page. See Tips.
- Spray the front with a clear acrylic finish for
longevity (optional).
- Score the carpet tape with a razor knife if
desired. This may make it easier to peel the backing off the tape.
- Cut your custom Bumper Stickers to shape.
You’re done! Peel the
backing off your homemade bumper sticker (the carpet tape) and place it
on any clean dry surface according to the directions found with your
carpet tape.
Enjoy the Championship Bowl Series, College Football Tournaments. Good
Fortune to Your Team and May the Best Team Win!
