Note: If you have leftover sticker gum it will harden into a gel. To re-use, heat until it becomes liquid again then you can make your own stickers again.

  1. What a wonderful project!!! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much for sharing. I linked to it on my blog and will be spreading the love! 🙂

  2. You get a star sticker on your forehead for being so creative! Love it. Can’t wait to try it. The only question is: what flavor? Mmmm…

  3. I did this last year for my daughter, we both loved it!

    A couple of hints:
    1. Use scraps of paper leftover from scrapbooking.
    2. Use paper punches, they make a great size for making them into stickers
    3. I got some on a wall next to the table where I was painting it on, and it took awhile to get it off once it dried.
    4. After the paper dries you might want to keep it somewhere where you can keep it flat, the edges starting curling up on me and it was hard to store.

    Enjoy! I know we did

  4. oh, oh! so fun! we’ll be doing LOTS of this! it’s also a great excuse to get the punches that i always drool over!
