    I've never tried that. i don't like wasting paint on something that doesn't need it. they are fine without the background painted. just use paint markers

    photoshop, convert it to black and white, and use a stamp filter, erase and add to any parts you feel needs it

    fedex shipping labels are the bomb you can order a roll of 5000 off there website or "borrow" a roll or 2 from work

    paint markers work the best they dont fade like permanent markers. Decocolor all the way!

    Super 77 spray adhesive works good to keep them up or use contact cement or crazy glue, clear coat them with krylon uv resistant spray

    some stickers are still up from 2yrs ago no fade or peeling

    Any tips on making my stickers more water-resisitant? I understand the whole concept of graffiti and sticker art being an “extremely temporary medium”, believe me, I wouldn’t be doing them if I had a problem with that, but I’d like some advice on making them a little less temporary. I live in Oregon, a very rainy place and we had a storm today which destroyed or ruined most of the stickers I put up yesterday. Is there a way around this? I chose sharpie because it’s permanent, but I found that the ink runs anyway. Perhaps the paper I’m using is bad? I use standard post office paper. I’ve seen sheets of weather proof laser label paper, but I don’t know if they can be written & drawn on.

    I've yet to try clearcoating them with spraypaint but I will try.

    For those of us who cant afford photoshop/dont know how to use bittorrent, this is useful. May take some tweaking when you actually cut it out.

    Just get them shipped from USPS. it's free. if your parents see them then tell them you never ordered them. USPS must have fucked up!

    for my slaps i use the basic usps label's and paint them white, then write whatever on them, then put them all in a big box and clearcoat the shit out of them. i also but these little plastic sticky things over them almost like a lamination. i dont really put stickers up i just give them to people and have them as like mini canvases so this may seem like alot.
