Student ID Sticker Project

Tools you will need:

1. Printer or other method of creating a page of computer sticker blanks.
2. Paper cutter - I use a Fiskars paper cutter (12” bypass guillotine type). Not necessary but very handy if you are planning to make large quantities of custom computerized professional stickers. Homemade stickers and handcrafted stickers sometimes look best with a more casual border.
3. Scissors
4. Razor knife

Materials you will need:

1. Paper - your sticker stock.
2. 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.  Avoid the “cloth type” tape it does not look as nice and is harder to work with.
3. 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 custom sticker a nice clean cut edge.

Let’s build your personalized student ID stickers.

• Decide which items you want identified with your personalized student ID stickers. You may want to give some thought as to the contact information you place on the student ID sticker. For example, you may NOT want to give out your personal phone number. We recommend a teacher’s contact number.
• Using your word processor compose your personalized student ID stickers.

Our student ID stickers look like this:

A)  Ribbon Style

B)  Block Style  Left & Right                                                    

Print your personalized student ID stickers.

1. Add the double sided tape to the back. As we will be trimming the ends of our student ID stickers, lay the carpet tape from the center out. Run the tape from top to bottom in 4 pieces. It’s easiest to run the double sided tape, then cut it from the roll at the end of the page. Start with one edge of the tape placed on the “center line” and run it to the end. Place 3 more carpet tape strips on the back leaving about 1/16” between strips.
2. Using your paper cutter or scissors cut the student ID stickers into horizontal strips.
3. Before removing the double sided tape backing, position your personalized student ID sticker over the notebook (at about a 45 degree angle to give it a ribbon look) to see where it would look best. Remember to overlap the edges of the notebook, as you will trim the excess later to make it look like a ribbon across the notebook.
4. Peel the backing off your student ID stickers (the double sided tape) and place it on your notebook.
5. Use your scissors to trim your student ID stickers to fit your schoolbooks.
