The Vinyl
First of all Buy some Vinyl on any web marketplace or store It's very cheap and powerful

Get the Size
Use a Pen and a Ruler to Find the exact size you will need and with a Scissor cut a piece of vinyl
Fix It
Once you have it fix it on anything enough rigied to keep it flat.
Use some paper Tape
Prepare Your File
Prepare your file, your stickers, I'm using photoshop I'll use a simple Jpeg image on the final software
You can use dozen of formats and softwares
Software
Put your image in the Software, I'm using BenBox, a freeware software with a huge support community (http://benboxlaser.us/)
LAZER MACHINE
Prepare your Lazer cutter machine
I'm using the MINI A5 LASER ENGRAVER from Gearbest at the super cheap price of 170€ (http://goo.gl/j6Asfl)
