Making Stickers, Take II

I'm working on a batch of bottle caps, so I figured I'd snap some pictures to show you how I prepare my images.

Step 1-Gather your supplies! You will need your trusty Xyron, (I use the 1.5" with PERMANENT adhesive) scissors, your printed sheets of images, and an 1" circle punch:
Step 2-Cut your images in long strips like so:
Step 3-Load your strips of paper, one at a time, at the top of your Xyron:

And slowly pull the strips thru the bottom of the Xyron:
Step 4-Rub the layers together, and then peel off the top layer. You will be left with your strip if images on a sticker sheet.
Step 5-Trim the strips of images as close to the image that you can. If you don't, the image will not fit in your punch:
Step 6-Once your images are trimmed, you can line up the image in your circle punch, and PUNCH! I use a Fiskars Squeeze Punch.

Here are my finished images. Simply peel off the back, and you've got a sticker! These can be used for anything. I use them to make bottle caps. Try using different shaped punches to make shaped stickers too.
