How I Make Waterproof Stickers

Note - comments are disabled since I no longer have a Cricut, and cannot answer any questions regarding this video. Thanks for your understanding!
Here's how I make waterproof stickers using my Cricut Explore Air 2! For this method I'll be explaining how I do the Full-Page Cricut hack. This method is great because you can get an entire page of stickers as opposed to just 4 x 6 inches.
⬇️ Written steps are listed below ⬇️
Products used:
✧ PPD Inkjet Glossy Creative Vinyl Stickers LTR 8.5 x 11 4.7mil x 50 Sheets - www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07G...
✧ Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets, 9 x 12 Inches, Box of 50 - www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000...

✧ Canon Pixma Pro-100
✧ Canon ImageClass LPB622 (alternative if you don't want to buy an expensive inkjet printer!)
This is the video where I learned to do the full page hack - • Trick your Cricut to d...
✍️ Here's a written description of my process: ✍️
1. Make an 8.5" x 11" canvas in Photoshop, align your sticker design on the page (I use a dark colour as a layer behind my sticker design so I can easily align them)
2. Create 4 squares - one in each corner of the canvas. Make the square 0.25" x 0.25" in size using the 'Fixed Size' menu drop down
- Fill in the square with white using the paintbucket tool
- Press 'V' to use the move tool, then press Ctrl + A or CMD + A (on mac) to 'Select All' - this allows you to then use the Align tool at the top of the screen.
- Align each square - one to each corner
3. Make sure you do not leave your background colour on. Save your sticker page as a PNG
4. Print your design with the Glossy Photo Paper setting, make sure 'Borderless Print' is NOT selected
5. Using a clear adhesive label, carefully smooth it over the sticker page using a roller or plastic card.
6. You can use Cricut design space to cut out your alignment border for the sticker page. In Cricut Design Space, make an 8.5" x 11" rectangle, align the X + Y to '0'. Use painter's tape to cover your cricut mat. With the 'sticky note' paper setting selected, cut out your rectangle. Now you can put your sticker sheet inside that cut-out area.
7. In the Cricut Design Space, open your saved PNG and select “Complex Design”. Import your design into the workspace, and make sure you re-size it to 8.5 x 11, and have the X + Y axis both at Zero. Now click 'Make It' and select the paper type as “Photo Paper”.
- You can change the blade pressure in the 'Material Settings' - I put it at the max setting for this cut. Also make sure you change the other blade pressure to “MORE”.
8. Load your mat into the Cricut machine and press the load button. Once you are ready to cut, press the cricut button. Your stickers are now being cut!
That's it! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments section.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you for not having a long intro and getting straight to the point. Some humble advice; you can set your cricut machine to the “cardstock+” button and it should cut straight through the entire sticker! I’ve used that method for cutting through stickers that I self laminate with clear gloss paper.

Hi Jessica, thanks very much! And I will give that method a try! 😊

@LunaPlushieCo 3 жыл бұрын

This is a great tutorial! Couple things that might help…. If your cricut mat has lost its tack, you can wash them with Dawn dish soap, and a sponge. You can also use a repositionable glue to retack after washing if desired, or if you want it stickier. As for not cutting all the way through, DO NOT UNLOAD after the cut! Instead, immediately press the go button again and it will cut the same pattern in the same place, and voila! You can do this multiple times if you need to!

Great idea to work outside design space! When aligning the printed sticker sheet on the cutting mat are you just aligning to the top left or about 1/4 inch down and over to account for design space's alignment? I thought that might have been what you were doing with the blue masking tape. Thanks!!!

Here's an option that works: peel back and adhere about a 1/4" of the clear sticker along the whole 8.5" edge of the color printout. Now, peel off the rest of the backing away, holding it apart from the color sheet. Feed that small adhered edge into the cold laminator, holding the sticker and printout apart, and let it naturally feed together into the laminator. What comes out is a perfectly applied clear sticker, with no air bubbles. This saves applying/rubbing by hand and rolling by hand, and the end result looks better. This is our method at my print shop.

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Kuulei! I will definitely be making a bumper sticker video soon! For the laminate concern, I think that it may be the matte paper which is the issue (only vinyl paper will work since the paper backing on matte paper will allow water to seep through). I do recommend trying with vinyl first before buying a cold press laminate :) hope this helps!

They create the Whole cut image to be the size of your sticker paper so that when you line it up on your mat to 0 it matches the placement. If you didn't have those place holders the images would scoot up the page too much and your would not get it aligned correctly.

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Green Grapes! What I do to make the tape border is cut out an 8.5 x 11 inch square in the Cricut app. You'll just need to put a bunch of painters tape on the mat, and then cut out a box from it. Making a box in the cricut design space is easy - you just need to use the rectangle tool, adjust the size to 8.5 x 11, and align the X and Y axis to '0'. Use the Cut (not print then cut!) method to cut out your alignment box. Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Do you have any tips on properly placing your sheet of paper on the mat? I've done the painter's tape trick but for some reason I can't get consistent cuts on my sheets of paper. I've had like one or two batches that have comes out good, but never consistent enough to start printing on sticker paper (thus far I've been testing on regular paper). Lovely video btw!

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Lunacias, I've run into an issue when doing multiple runs of the same sticker page, the only solution I've come to so far is to close out of the design after I've cut out the page, and then open it again. Cricut is really finicky but this seems to work for me. However you may want to try recalibrating your machine if they are off by a lot. Moving the sticker page over a little bit before cutting may help with the alignment. I explain this in my latest video - I leave the painter's tape in the same place, but place the sticker page over a really tiny amount (depending on which way the cuts are misaligned) and restart the cutting process. This usually gives me perfect cuts!

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Aiko! I don't have much experience with using different laminator sheets. The issue you may run into is that bubbles may be created when using just the laminating machine. Also you won't be able to use laminator sheets that come with the machine since they are double-sided, and will seal your sticker backing inside the sheet. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Hi Joyce, I was having issues with that when trying to cut a new page after just finishing a page. I find I have to exit the sticker page I'm working on, and open it up again. For some reason this fixes inconsistent cuts. You may also want to try going through and recalibrating your machine, to see if it's an issue with the sensors.

Hi Kimberly, sorry for the late reply! Yes you can def use a roller, I used a roller before I switched to a cold laminate machine. I do recommend the cold laminate machine though as you can apply a part of the adhesive onto one side of the sticker page and then peel off the backing as it's going through the cold press laminate. And yes, matte should be fine but the laminate will make it glossy unless you bought a matte laminate :)

@mooneyesart 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Raquel, at 1:58 I am peeling the backing off of the Single Sided adhesive laminate, not the stickers. This is so I can stick the clear adhesive to the front of the sticker sheet. It gives the stickers extra protection and helps them not get scratched. You don't need this if you buy waterproof vinyl, but you will find the stickers don't last as long without it.

Hi Sarah, I use the Canon Pixma Pro-100 for printing my stickers. Unfortunately I do not have recommendations for a printer/scanner combo as those tend to not be as good at producing quality prints. A laser printer would be better if you can get one around 300 - $500 CAD price range. A decent scanner you can buy on Amazon or Walmart for around $50 CAD. Alternatively, you can take your vinyl sticker paper sheets and designs on a USB drive to a Staples, or any printing store. They can print on the vinyl for you with very high quality printers, for around $1 or less per sheet. Hope this helps! 😊

When the sticker sheet passes through the laminator, what do you use on the back of it?

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ana, I don't need to put anything underneath the sticker sheet, it should work just fine without anything! I do go over how to apply laminate sheets using a cold press laminator instead of the roller in my most recent video. 😊

I don’t have photoshop, so I’m running into trouble with the boxes for guides and getting things correct. Anyone have workarounds using feee programs that work on Mac? I created the image sheet using silhouette software and then exported to print. But dimensions are throwing me way off.

@mooneyesart 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Stacie, I have a blog post on my website going over the steps if you don't have Photoshop (but basically you just need to fill each corner with your paintbrush so the canvas does not change size when you export it to cricut). The link to my post is in the video description if you need further clarification! I recommend Krita for a free program (and I believe it works with Mac as well, if not possibly try Gimp) 😊

Hello! Thanks for the video! Do you use normal ink? Or waterproof or water resistant one? Thanks!

@mooneyesart 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrea, I'm just using third party ink refills for my canon pixma pro-100. Laser printers will work as well :) The ink for the canon is water resistant I believe! I always coat it though just in case (with the clear laminate)

I heard you mentioned you use them for bumper stickers too... do you spray anything on them to make them uv proof? Or do they not fade??

@mooneyesart Жыл бұрын

Hi! Nope, I just add the laminate and make sure the vinyl sticker paper is waterproof (not just "water resistant"). It should last even through a car wash. Though if you car is in direct sun all the time, it will probably fade in about 8 - 12 months.

Hi! So for placing the sticker sheet on the cricut mat, do you put the sheet all the way to the left corner or do you place it .25 inches down from the top and .25 inches from the left?

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mai, I place it directly in the rectangle I cut out of the tape - so there's no need to adjust the placement if that makes sense! (when you cut out an 8.5 x 11 inch rectangle out of tape it will give you an area for you to place the sticker page).

Sorry I can't be of more help! Perhaps Cricut changed some settings when it was updated - for me, I need to cut out a rectangle but perhaps you don't need to!

Edit your cut setting to cut 2x to cut entirely through stickers. Also, to save time rolling your laminate sheet, the laminate machine will get rid of bubbles.

Hi Jatziry, no you can use any drawing program as long as you have the ability to create transparent backgrounds and put a brush stroke in each corner. I go into detail on how to do this on my blog post as well for further clarification (link in the description) 😊

What ink you are using? Is it still water proof without laminating sheet?

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

I use Canon brand inks with my Pixma Pro-100. If you use inkjet on the inkjet waterproof adhesive vinyl, you don't need to laminate. But if you are using just regular sticker adhesive paper, generally those aren't waterproof and even sealing them with laminate won't work. I hope this helps!

Hi Liz! What printer are you using? I only recommend the pixma pro 100 or 200, or a colour laser printer with the laminate on. I know that other inkjet printers will cause smudging and bleeding of the inks, even with laminate.

Is there a difference between using a cold or hot laminator??

@mooneyesart 3 жыл бұрын

I believe with the hot press laminator, you risk possibly ruining your sticker adhesive. The cold press laminator is better at applying pressure to stick the laminate to the vinyl pages without overheating.

Hi Yen, it seems like every time Cricut updates their software, it changes the accuracy. Unfortunately the best solution would be to use cricut's built-in print than cut method. If you are still getting inaccurate cuts with print than cut, I made a new video on tips for cutting with glossy paper.
