You can take any of your art and turn it into high quality stickers at home! Nik AKA @wastingthyme drew this design in @procreate and printed them on her home printer on some @avery sticker paper. They turned out SO cute!

Craftcation attendees last year got to use these sticker sheets in a DIY sticker workshop with @wildwindlane and they got tons of Avery goodies in their gift bags.
