From TikTok to Sales: My Complete Sticker Creation & Listing Workflow

The Sticker Struggle is Real (But I've Got You!)

Are you dreaming of turning your creative designs into adorable, sellable stickers? Maybe you've even dabbled in TikTok trends and seen the sticker-making hype. But where do you even start? I get it! Between designing, printing, cutting, photographing, and listing, it can feel overwhelming. That's why I'm sharing my complete, no-filter sticker creation and listing workflow – the real deal, kids' craziness and all!

Step 1: Design Magic with Playground AI (Off-Camera Prep)

  • I usually use Playground AI to create my designs. I did this off camera and had the design saved on my computer ready to go.

Step 2: Live Sticker Creation: Printing, Cutting, & Photography

  • Video Link: No-Filter! Real Sticker Making & Product Photography Setup (TikTok Replay)
  • In this video, you'll see my entire process, live and unedited! I walk you through:
    • Printing my sticker designs.
    • Using my Cricut to get that perfect cut.
    • My simple (but effective!) photography background setup to make my stickers shine.
    • Normal Mom life going in the background because if I waited until kids were asleep or not around I would never get anything done.

Step 3: Listing on Etsy and Shopify

  • Keywords are King: Use relevant keywords (like "sticker," "die-cut sticker," "vinyl sticker," etc.) in your titles, descriptions, and tags on Etsy and Shopify.
  • High-Quality Photos: Invest in good lighting and a clean background to showcase your stickers.
  • Engage on Social Media: Share your sticker-making process and finished products on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
  • Offer Bundles & Discounts: Encourage customers to buy more by offering deals on multiple stickers.

Tools & Resources

  • Printify: A great option for print-on-demand stickers. If your not Crafty and dont own a cutting machine. 
  • Design Software: I use Playground AI.
  • Cricut: For cutting out stickers.
  • Trending Mockups: Use mockups to showcase your stickers on products like laptops or water bottles.
  • Product Photography Props I use: This will go to Benable where I may or may not earn commission from eligible purchases,

Your Turn!
