Let's Create Original Stickers! How to Make Flake Stickers Using Masking Tape ♡

The Popularity of Flake Seals is Exploding ♡

Flake seals are small stickers that are cut individually according to illustrations. Unlike ordinary stickers that are arranged on a single backing sheet, each piece resembles a sticker and is sold in small bags.＊

Making these flake seals by hand is currently trending ♡ Original designed flake seals add a bit of fun to everyday life.＊

The appeal of flake seals is that they can be easily handmade with materials from 100 yen shops and only masking tape.

Let’s take a look at how to make them right away! ♡

～～Materials for Flake Seals～～

Here are the materials needed to make flake seals.

① Label stickers

② Packing tape (transparent)

③ Masking tape with your favorite pattern

Label stickers and packing tape are available at craft shops like Loft and Hands, as well as at 100 yen shops.

Additionally, many people seem to make the sticker backing by placing double-sided tape on the back of cooking paper instead of using label stickers.

For masking tape, it is recommended to use a thick one that is 3 centimeters or wider. Additionally, designs where each pattern is independent make it easier to cut out later.

～～How to Make Flake Seals～～

①

First, apply the masking tape onto the label stickers. Since we'll apply packing tape over it in the next step, adjust the spacing so that the cut edges of the tape do not overlap the areas you want as stickers. ◎

②

After you finish applying the masking tape on the label stickers, apply the packing tape over it. It’s like sandwiching the masking tape between the backing and the packing tape.

Since masking tape has weak adhesive, applying transparent packing tape over it makes it less likely to peel off. It gets laminated and has a smooth appearance.＊

Some people skip this step if they use masking tape with strong adhesive.

③

Once the packing tape is neatly applied, cut along the masking tape patterns with scissors, leaving a few millimeters of margin.

Be careful as having too little margin can cause it to peel off.

Completion of Original Flake Seals ♡

Now you have your original flake seals completed ♡ With just three simple steps, many people are getting hooked and producing them in large quantities.

If you can't find a masking tape pattern to your liking, it's also okay to print images or photos directly onto the label stickers. You can print at home with a computer and an inkjet printer.

Additionally, drawing pictures or stamping on the label stickers are other options.

Creating flake seals with messages like "Thank you" would be perfect for gift wrapping ♡

You’ll have fun deciding what design to make.＊
