These labels are called "Kiss Chocolate Stickers." Guests will be surprised to find such lovely stickers on the already cute Kisses!
You often see these "Kiss Chocolate Stickers" on brides' Instagram posts, but how do they actually make them??
A Complete Guide to Making Kiss Chocolate Stickers ♡
Making Kiss Chocolate Stickers is actually very easy! All you need is sticker paper. You can do it with just a computer and printer without any special software.*
In this guide, we’ll slowly explain how to create stickers for your Kisses. Even brides who might say "I'm not good at DIY..." should definitely take a look!*
How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 1: Prepare Sticker Paper and 'Label Maker'
You can create Kiss Chocolate Stickers using 'Label Maker,' a free service provided by A-ONE, which handles stationery and stickers, along with sticker sheets sold by A-ONE.*
The sticker paper with item number 26105 is the perfect round size for Kisses. You can find it at home improvement stores for around 300 yen or purchase it on Amazon.♩
➡ Purchase A-ONE Sticker Paper (Item No. 26105) on Amazon
While 'Label Maker' also has a downloadable version, you can use it on the web without downloading any software.
However, please check the operating environment in case you're using a PC or browser that isn't supported.*

How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 2: Choose a Format
By entering item number 26105 into the search box at the bottom of the 'Label Maker' homepage, you'll find design formats for Kiss Chocolate Stickers on the screen. You can create 24 Kiss Chocolate Stickers from one sticker sheet.*
Select "OK" at the bottom right of the screen and proceed to the next step.
Next, a large round circle will appear. This is where your Kiss Chocolate Sticker will go, so start designing within this circle.
How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 3: Insert Images
It’s time to create your design!
This time, we’ll create an original design for the Kiss Chocolate Stickers with an illustration downloaded from the Internet that includes the names of the couple♡
First, download the illustration source and import it into 'Label Maker.'
By the way, the illustration used here was downloaded from the free material site 'Silhouette AC.' If you search for "wedding," you’ll find a lot of suitable illustrations♡ There are colors other than black, so you can also create colorful and cute designs!
➡ Here’s the free illustration material download site 'Silhouette AC'
On the right side of the 'Label Maker' screen, select "Image," then choose "Paste New." Import the illustration image from your PC.
Once imported, the illustration will be placed inside the circle. Adjust the size and position so that it doesn’t go out of the circle. You can also flip it horizontally and vertically.*
While you can adjust the color and transparency on 'Label Maker,' the settings are somewhat limited. If you want to edit the downloaded image, it’s recommended to do so in PowerPoint or similar software before importing.◎
How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 4: Insert Text
Once the image is placed, you can insert text. Select "Text" on the right side of the screen and type in the text you want.* You can specify the text color, size, and font.
Once you’ve decided, select "Paste New." (You can still change the color and font after pasting, so it’s fine to adjust after placement too!♡)
This time, I wanted the text to curve around the circle, so I chose "Circumference Text" ♡
The font used here is a free downloadable font called 'ImperatorBronzeSmallCaps'*
By simply adding the text to the free illustration, I was able to create a cute design for the Kiss Chocolate Stickers!
How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 5: Create Designs for 24 Stickers
Since there are 24 Kiss Chocolate Stickers, you can create 24 different designs in the same way as before.
If you’d like to make multiple stickers with the same design, you can copy and paste from 'Layout' in the top right corner.♩
How to Make Kiss Chocolate Stickers * Step 6: Print!
Once all 24 slots are filled, select "Print" in the top right corner. Set the sticker sheet with item number 26105 into the printer and print.
By saving the data as a PDF, you can print the same sheet as many times as you want, making it very convenient!♡
After Sticking It on the Kisses, It's Complete ♡
Once you stick the printed Kiss Chocolate Stickers on the Kisses, you'll have a lovely original petit gift! Even brides who are not good with computers or design can easily make these!♡
Feel free to create various designs of Kiss Chocolate Stickers using your favorite illustrations, wedding logos, or photos of the couple!*
For Brides Who Want Something More Convenient...
However, there may be brides who still feel "I'm not good with PC operations" or "I don’t have a printer at home." But don’t give up! There are other ways to get Kiss Chocolate Stickers besides making them yourself!♡
One way is to look for round stickers that perfectly fit the Kisses online. If you search for "hershey kiss stickers" on the handmade goods site “Etsy,” you’ll find many stylish and cute Kiss Chocolate Stickers.♩
