Clear Stickers

Printable clear labels are quite pricy and often not available in small quantities. But there is a easy way to produce your own transparent stickers using packing tape.

Supplies + Tools

You need:
Laser print or copy of your motive (The maximum width or height should not exceed the width of your packing tape)
Clear packing tape (I used tesapack® strong 66m * 50mm)
Bowl of water
Spoon
Scissors

Transfer Print to Tape

Stick the packing tape on top of the motiv. Use the spoon to rub the tape against the print to make sure that all the toner sticks to the tape.

Cut

Roughly cut out your motive.

Soak

Put the cut out motive into the bowl of water and let it soak for some minutes.

Rub Away the Paper

Use your finger to rub away the paper. Keep on rubbing until all the paper is gone, sometimes it goes easier when you wet your finger from time to time. Let the sticker dry. Don't worry if the sticker doesn't feel sticky, it will stick again when dry.

Use It

When completely dry, you can stick your sticker wherever you want, e.g. on a glass jar.
