How to make your own bumper stickers..
I read a lot of people on here saying something like "I'd like that on a bumper sticker" so I thought I'd share my technique.

Just print out your design on you printer and then get some clear adhesive shelf paper from the store. Sandwich your printed sheet between two pieces of clear adhesive shelf paper with the top piece made enough bigger than the back piece so that there is an adhesive strip maybe an inch wide or so all around the outside to stick to the bumper, window or whatever. I like to put 'em on the window so they don't mess up the paint if you have to scrape them off.

Inkjet inks mostly fade fast so your sticker probably won't last long, but all we need is two months anyway.

2. Or add magnets to the back

I keep all those free business magnets, and use them as backing for cartoons, pics, etc. to go on my 'fridge.

You can also buy magnet sheets or magnet rolls at hardware and craft stores.

3. I go to Zazzle.com
You can design them on-line, order them and they get mailed fairly quickly.

Plus you can aorder just 1 or a bunch.

And they're good quality.

I stick them on magentic sheets (you can buy that from a craft store) so you can remove them from your vehicle whenever you want.
