Student
ID Sticker
Project
This
is a simple DIY project to build personalized
student ID stickers
or
stickers to identify subject folders, school binders, school notebooks
etc.
Tools
you will need:
- Printer
or other method of creating a page of computer sticker blanks.
- 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.
- Scissors
- Razor
knife
Materials
you will need:
- Paper
- your sticker stock.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Using
your paper cutter or scissors cut the student ID stickers into
horizontal strips.
- 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.
- Peel
the backing off your student ID stickers (the double sided tape)
and place it on your notebook.
- Use
your scissors to trim your student ID stickers to fit your
schoolbooks.
YOU
ARE DONE!
This
was a simple exercise to show you how easy it is to make personalized
student ID stickers
using plain paper and
carpet tape.
Spice up your personalized stickers with clip art or decorative borders.

Other
School Project Ideas are:
Magnetic
special event stickers.
These non-permanent sticker solutions are
great methods of advertising
proms, dances, sports events and student elections. These non-permanent
magnet stickers will stick to any ferrous surface such as locker doors,
fire doors, car doors and metal car bumpers. Magnetic bumper stickers
made with the method detailed in the Photo
Magnets
page can be reused
each new event. For example make a magnetic bumper sticker to cheer on
your team for the next big game, following the game overlay the
magnetic bumper sticker promoting the next big game. You can continue
doing this until the sticker gets to heavy. Then peel the magnet off
the built-up stickers and start over again. Of course your handcrafted
magnetic bumper sticker can be used on a school locker as well.
If you are going to use
your handcrafted magnetic bumper sticker
outdoors, you should coat it with an acrylic spray to make your
magnetic bumper sticker water resistant. Test an area first to make
sure the acrylic does not react adversely with your handcrafted
magnetic bumper sticker.
Teachers,
double sided tape is a wonderful product and has many uses. You
can use it the same way you would use a loop of masking tape.
Carpet tape is a more secure and permanent solution. Teachers can use
it to attach artwork around the classroom. You can also make magnet
reminders for the classroom. Art teachers can place carpet tape on the
back of art work before sending it home with students. Please note that
it does not take much tape to accomplish the task and it is permanent
and may mar any surface it come in contact with.
Teachers
this information is FREE
and may be of use to other teachers
so pass it along. Although
the emphasis
of HOW TO
MAKE CUSTOM STICKERS AND LABELS
is making computer generated professional stickers, the methods and
techniques are the same for homemade stickers and handcrafted stickers.
I have made thousands
of custom stickers, and I feel these Do It
Yourself instructions will help you get a good start on your own DIY
custom stickers. A homemade professional sticker is easier than you
think. Be sure to visit all pages, to get all the tips, to make your
custom computer stickers project a fun experience.
