If your on A tighter budget and already have a desktop pc or laptop you can just buy A drawing tablet like A wacom, entry level ones start at about £90.
You can try vellum (glassine) bags if you want a eco-friendly solution, they’re not fully waterproof though but they do offer some protection to a little bit of moisture
Loved this! I remember when I first started my sticker shop I would sit on the floor and hand cut them all & as I made sales slowly started buying stuff & investing back in
You don't need an ipad, just get a stylus for your phone (unless it comes with one like the samsung note series do) and the ibis paint X app which is available for android and ios (and probably others but idk). No need to pay 500 bucks for an ipad, just get a stylus and the free ibis paint X app and ur good to go. I use it for my stickers and it works great
Yes! I started my business from scratch, but made lots of behind the scenes videos on TikTok. Those videos got a lot of traction and I started getting a lot of sales. I would say it took about a month before I had consistent sales.
You are sooooo amazing with sharing all this info💞💞 I have been drawing for more than 20 years, but just for me and friends. I now want to create stickers, I need to get the tools, thanks for this information. God bless your kind soul and may He bless and prosper you 🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
i’m starting a sticker business soon but i haven’t decided a name for my etsy shop *just* yet. I’m gonna have a bunch of sticker sheets themed around spiritual stuff eventually, and a bunch of die-cuts of random things i like lol
You definitely could! At this point I usually order thank you cards on Vista Print and make it an art piece on one side and a thank you on the other so that people don’t just throw it away! :)
Amazing video Yes am starting my small business Of stickers.. I just have couple concerns and questions for example I have pets of my own.. when drawing them might look similar to others pets stickers what can I do
As long as you're drawing them I wouldn't worry about it! I think there are artists with similar styles, but there is room for everyone! Nobody is going to be upset that your dog drawing looks like someone else's! Go for it! :)
I recently started an Etsy shop making custom Low poly portraits but was looking to do something else as well. I was thinking of doing stickers too so this was helpful, thank you
This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing the money breakdown, the steps, the uses of the materials, and your process. One of the best videos I have seen explaining this so far and with methodical steps! Have a wonderful day and thank you again for sharing this with us!
I have heard good things about Envy printer. But that because it doesn't have a rear entry tray you can't use thicker card stock or sticker paper like Circuit Sticker paper? Is this true.
How do you pay the postage and do the labels? I've been trying to figure out the cost of shipping a mailer like you're. using but I feel like I must be looking in the wrong place on USPS because I am not seeing it
How do you get orders? In all of these videos I can't find many talking about effective ways to drum up orders if you are brand new and starting from scratch
Thank you for watching 💕 seriously the rollo printer is such a time & money saver in the long run! Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your shop!!
hey! I have a question about fonts and sticker making. if i buy a font, does that give me the right to sell a sticker with that font on it? thank you! this video was very helpful :)
If you buy the commercial license! Sometimes you'll be able to buy a personal use font but that just means you can use it, it doesn't mean you can make money using it! :)
Thank you so much for sharing so much good info!!! Random question, but I’ve been looking for a font like the one you use in your video. Do you mind sharing what it’s called? Thank you!
I get mine off of Etsy for a few dollars, so some that I like on there are called Branchy (AndreStudioArt) and Wished (KAFontDesigns). I can't remember exactly which one I used, but these are very similar if not the one. You can also search "Retro Font" on Etsy and they will pop up!
It depends on where you live whether or not you’ll have to register as a business. Some places you need to register to be a sole proprietorship. If you want to form an LLC then you will need to do that before you start making money with your Etsy shop.
Hi Hannah, thanks for all the useful information and sharing your experience. Since you have 2 businesses, would you just need them tied to 1 LLC ( or other business) or would you need 2 licenses? I want to sell digital prints/ posters for wall art and home decor, and another shop for my personal style of cute stickers, pins, prints, cards, etc. Since they will be 2 very different styles, I think I should create 2 shops. I was going to include my name in both. So would I be able to keep them both under 1 LLC for my graphic design?
Hi, I don't have An Ipad so I use my laptop.is it okay to use fonts from these apps for business or will that get you in trouble related to copyrights?
It depends on the website you're using to make your stickers. Some give you commercial rights and some don't. I would also look in to getting fonts from a website where you can buy the rights to use commercially!
I don’t know how to draw well but I love digital design :( do you know if some people draw over stuff to draw it but put their own twist to it?😅😅is it hard to draw on procreate ?
Yes! It’s actually easy to start out by importing a picture and tracing & putting your own touch on it! Then you can start experimenting when you’re more comfortable with drawing! 😊 procreate is so good to start drawing on! Much less complicated than if you tried something like photoshop!
I have both and I prefer silhouette because Silhouette software is way better, Cricut design space is so limited. Also, you can't print then cut the full page with Cricut, and it's such a waste of paper. I only use my Cricut for vinyl work and making written cards.
I agree with that! I love the software that Silhouette has, but I have had so many problems with my machine cutting and aligning and printing from the software that it's not worth it for me anymore if I can get enough orders to outsource!
Cellophane bags are meant to be biodegradable and compostable. They're made from cellulose fibre which is renewable. If your bags won't compost, then they're not cellophane bags.
i like your video on whats necessary to start a sticker shop. id like to see a Video on the whole process of you making a sticker start to finish and packaging it up to mait to a generic customer - printing the mailing label too.
Try the wax paper sleeves to protect your stickers, glassine bags.
If your on A tighter budget and already have a desktop pc or laptop you can just buy A drawing tablet like A wacom, entry level ones start at about £90.
You can try vellum (glassine) bags if you want a eco-friendly solution, they’re not fully waterproof though but they do offer some protection to a little bit of moisture
An idea for a replacement for the cello bags would be glassine envelopes.
I will definitely look into it! Thank you!
Loved this! I remember when I first started my sticker shop I would sit on the floor and hand cut them all & as I made sales slowly started buying stuff & investing back in

Great video. Very informative. Thank you.
I’m thinking of starting my own business of stickers! This really helps tysm!
so am I
Yay! Hope you have kicked it off great!
Do it, it’s so worth it!
@@HannahSkyeCreative thankyou!!❤️
Thanks Hannah.
So did you start your sticker shop without a prior significant online following???....how long did it take you to start making sales???
Yes! I started my business from scratch, but made lots of behind the scenes videos on TikTok. Those videos got a lot of traction and I started getting a lot of sales. I would say it took about a month before I had consistent sales.
Could you make a video of you showing a step by step how you make your stickers and order? That would be really helpful. Thankyou!
This was awesome! I Subscribed ❤
glassine bags or parchment paper for the alternative, hope this helps :)
I used eco friendly almost like little parchment paper it’s like a little bag that folds over. Not waterproof but I never had a problem
You are sooooo amazing with sharing all this info💞💞 I have been drawing for more than 20 years, but just for me and friends. I now want to create stickers, I need to get the tools, thanks for this information. God bless your kind soul and may He bless and prosper you 🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
This was very helpful and encouraging. Thank you. Can you make a video about how to use the Rollo shopping label?
I'm fixing to get a Roland bn 20 printer eventually. Thanks for the info I might dabble in this and see how things go.
Yay! Good luck!
i’m starting a sticker business soon but i haven’t decided a name for my etsy shop *just* yet. I’m gonna have a bunch of sticker sheets themed around spiritual stuff eventually, and a bunch of die-cuts of random things i like lol
Have you ever thought about using your rollo printer to do your thank you cards? Like print the sticker and throw it on an index card????
You definitely could! At this point I usually order thank you cards on Vista Print and make it an art piece on one side and a thank you on the other so that people don’t just throw it away! :)
Dont give up on this channel
Please keep doing more videos, more often.
I'm expecting more videos on this topic of sticker business
Is there anything specific that you want to see? ☺️
Amazing video
Yes am starting my small business
Of stickers.. I just have couple concerns and questions for example I have pets of my own.. when drawing them might look similar to others pets stickers what can I do
As long as you're drawing them I wouldn't worry about it! I think there are artists with similar styles, but there is room for everyone! Nobody is going to be upset that your dog drawing looks like someone else's! Go for it! :)
About the printer, how often do u buy cartridges? Does it get expensive with the ink?
I recently started an Etsy shop making custom Low poly portraits but was looking to do something else as well. I was thinking of doing stickers too so this was helpful, thank you
You should! Go for it!
This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing the money breakdown, the steps, the uses of the materials, and your process. One of the best videos I have seen explaining this so far and with methodical steps! Have a wonderful day and thank you again for sharing this with us!
Your cardigan is super cute!
Thank you. Very informative and clear.
Will be back in a few months to post my sticker biz, thanks! Happy to already be an illustrator with Adobe
yay!! can’t wait to see!
Ohhh! I was always concerned about whether if I should register a PO Box, but your first advice made me more sure that I should! XD
Thank you for your generosity!
I have heard good things about Envy printer. But that because it doesn't have a rear entry tray you can't use thicker card stock or sticker paper like Circuit Sticker paper? Is this true.
Please make more videos! This video was great, thank you!
Thank you! Will do! Let me know if you have anything specific that you'd like to see!
How do you pay the postage and do the labels? I've been trying to figure out the cost of shipping a mailer like you're. using but I feel like I must be looking in the wrong place on USPS because I am not seeing it

Get on TikTok and start showing your process! That's the best way I started making sales!
@@HannahSkyeCreative awe really thanks. I will try that.
@@HannahSkyeCreative Tiktok? Seriously??? I'd rather chew on broken glass
Seems painful
You should charge $1.39 for shipping. That’s why they call it “shipping & handling” to cover the cost of the packaging.
U can make envelopes with vellum sheet
Really? What a good idea! Thank you!
i loved this video! It was so informative and engaging. It really helped me on what to get for my shop, the rollo printer tip was great! thank you
Thank you for watching 💕 seriously the rollo printer is such a time & money saver in the long run! Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your shop!!
I have no idea what the laminating sheets are for. Will there be a tutorial?
hey! I have a question about fonts and sticker making. if i buy a font, does that give me the right to sell a sticker with that font on it? thank you! this video was very helpful :)
If you buy the commercial license! Sometimes you'll be able to buy a personal use font but that just means you can use it, it doesn't mean you can make money using it! :)
@@HannahSkyeCreative ive done some research and found some good websites that have commercial use fonts so thank you!!!
Great video, thanks so much.
So what’s the legal stuff you had to do to run the shop?
Business license/LLC
Business name registration
Name trademarking
Etc etc ?
This is very good information Hannah! Thank you!
thank you!!
These are great! I'm building out a 1988 chevy to travel in and I am looking to put used furniture in it. I love these tips!
hmmmm
Thank you so much for sharing so much good info!!! Random question, but I’ve been looking for a font like the one you use in your video. Do you mind sharing what it’s called? Thank you!

You can also get a free one (for personal use only) from dafont called Duke Charming!
just found this and love your channel and its definitely a favorite! thank you for helping :]
Thank you!! Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!
Thank you sweetie 😘!!
Thanks so much for this video! Could you please do a video on how to open an Etsy shop? TYSM
Yes!! I am planning my filming schedule for the new year and I’m adding this one within the first few weeks!
Thank you for watching! :) glad you found it useful!
@@HannahSkyeCreative omg tyyy ❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Did you register your business before launching it on Etsy? I was planning to start a business like this! :)
It depends on where you live whether or not you’ll have to register as a business. Some places you need to register to be a sole proprietorship. If you want to form an LLC then you will need to do that before you start making money with your Etsy shop.
@@HannahSkyeCreative Thanks for the info!
An amazing amount of information!
what about a Mac computer ? will that still work
Hi Hannah, thanks for all the useful information and sharing your experience. Since you have 2 businesses, would you just need them tied to 1 LLC ( or other business) or would you need 2 licenses?

@@HannahSkyeCreative thanks. I would appreciate, if you or anyone have any examples of such sites
can you do this with traditional art?
I don’t know how to draw well but I love digital design :( do you know if some people draw over stuff to draw it but put their own twist to it?😅😅is it hard to draw on procreate ?
Yes! It’s actually easy to start out by importing a picture and tracing & putting your own touch on it! Then you can start experimenting when you’re more comfortable with drawing! 😊 procreate is so good to start drawing on! Much less complicated than if you tried something like photoshop!
@@HannahSkyeCreative oh okk that’s what I thought thank u but is it ok to trace simple stuff, not copy, to sell ? Seems scary aha Everyone freestyles.
Great video thank you for sharing looking forward to more! SUBSCRIBED!
thank you for watching and subscribing!
Marketing stickers video pls! ❤️
Coming soon! Making it today (if my child cooperates and takes a nap lol)
@@HannahSkyeCreative yay thank you!
It will be up at 6:15 EST! So 18 minutes from now! :)
@@HannahSkyeCreative omg thank you for letting me know!!
Try wax paper. Make your own bags. Or tissue paper.
they make biodegradable cello bags!
I can’t wait for your future videos. The information you shared is fabulous. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Let me know of anything specific you would like to see!
Instead of cellophane bags you could use beeswax coated paper!
I have both and I prefer silhouette because Silhouette software is way better, Cricut design space is so limited. Also, you can't print then cut the full page with Cricut, and it's such a waste of paper. I only use my Cricut for vinyl work and making written cards.

Good your job Goodyear looking❤
You could get a ups account. I just ask them for shipping labels and they send them free!
Great video, learned a lot about making stickers. Hope to see more videos from you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Cellophane bags are meant to be biodegradable and compostable. They're made from cellulose fibre which is renewable. If your bags won't compost, then they're not cellophane bags.
How about samsung tab. Cricut dont work with that ?
I think there is a Cricut Design Space app on the Google Play store! I'm not 100% sure how it works, though! I only have an iPad.
thank you beautiful, great tips
Do you use a laminator?
Wow. Very Motivating.
Quick question. Can someone from India also start working on Etsy?
Yes! There is an Etsy India 😊
@@HannahSkyeCreative awesome thanks 😍😍.. Subscribed
@@HannahSkyeCreative by any chance are you on insta?
I just started one...
Yay!! Hope it’s going well!
I want to do this but can't draw to save my life lol. Is there any way around drawing your own?
If you can design using shapes you can do that, too!
problem is, what if you don't sell and you've wasted money on a po box?
The genuine cellophane is compostable it is not a petroleum plastic
Biodegradable plastic compost bags
Hi can use a desk top computer???
YES! For sure, I just don't have a desktop You can totally use a desktop to design everything!
i like your video on whats necessary to start a sticker shop.
id like to see a Video on the whole process of you making a sticker start to finish and packaging it up to mait to a generic customer - printing the mailing label too.
Thanks for sharing, look forward to the marketing stickers video!
Coming soon! Hopefully I will be done filming it today! :)
It's going live in about 15 minutes! Thank you so much for the support!
I wanted to startba sticker business but dont know how to draw 😖
Pros do not use procreate that's for nubes lol
