Kids love stickers, at least the ones I know do. When I saw this from Martha Stewart I had to share it because it is a super easy way for your sticker loving kids to never be without them again. They make a great way to decorate all sorts of things and also make a cheap way to decorate book covers when it is time to go back to school.

Materials Needed:

  • Elmer’s Washable White School Glue
  • White vinegar
  • Wrapping paper, magazines, decorative paper or just about any kind of paper you want
  • Shaped craft punches in the shapes you want for stickers

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together white Elmer’s Washable School Glue with an equal amount of white vinegar until you have a thin, milky liquid. Using a small paint brush or a pastry brush, smear the back of the paper sparingly with the glue mixture.

2. Allow to dry, apply a second coat, and allow to dry again. Then use scissors or a craft punch to cut out desired shapes. Although the glue is nontoxic, it doesn’t taste very good, so for a mass sticking, use a dampened sponge to moisten the back of stickers.
