Making Handmade Stickers and Cards


tried to wrap them as a stickers pack 

I tried to make some products to sell at Camberwell Festival. Then I made sets of stickers and message cards.  Every time I thought nobody want them because usually people do not need them in their daily life, haha. But, I love stickers for using on my diary or putting them on a letter for fridens. It might be difficult to sell all sets. Just do my best, wish good experience, and enjoy making ^0^♪

At first, I was wondering to buy some printable sticker paper which was expensive. Then my friend told me to get the paper with small price.
I used e-bay the site had the cheapest one. So, I got 10 sheet of A4 glossy sticker paper with £ 1.99. Also, got them just 2days after buy on the web.

ステッカー用の印刷用紙ってすごく高いですね。近くの画材屋さんで20枚入りが£10以上したかな?。とにかくなかなか買うのに決断のいる価格で、日本だったら安いのかなぁ?と思い調べたところ、日本でも10枚入り1000円以上はするようで、購入を諦めかけてました。しかし友達に相談したところ、e-bayというサイトで破格で売っているようで♪10枚で£1.99でしたよ^^(310円くらいでした。2013.06現在)このe-bayっていうサイトはイギリスのアマゾンよりも宅配が速く、注文してから2日で届きました。(イギリスのアマゾンは普通で注文から1週間から10日はかかります。) 
でも、なんでこんなに安いのかな?と思ったら、台紙付きの茶封筒にそのまま用紙が入って送られてきて、(つまり説明や外装はない商品) イギリスのこういう合理的な発想で商売するところ、私好きですw。
無地のステッカー用紙に問題は全く無く、綺麗に印刷できましたよ^^
次は半透明やアセテート素材にも挑戦してみたいですね^^♪


I used my epson printer ( epson glossy, best photo ).
 I used my drawings in my foundation art and 1st year at Camberwell. I thought those food images are pretty good for stickers.



Sweets stickers
The first day of Camberwell festival. some people liked to take them. I was glad^0^



Japanese food stickers
When I was a foundation student, I drew Japanese food it was a task. However, when it became a product, I knew that British people are not familier with the images, so ... not majority.

 


message cards
Also, I made again the cards, Once I could sell them in the first year exhibition.


If I could not sell them out, present for you maybe ... ^0^ - <3
