Make Your Own Stickers with Klutz

| Filed Under: Book Reviews

A few months back I was asked to be a part of the Klutz Crew, a group of ambassadors for the Klutz Brand.  Since my kids and I just love Klutz books, I was absolutely honored to be asked and happy as clam to jump on board as one of 12 Klutz ambassadors. 
This year Klutz is celebrating 35 years of fun, kid-friendly activity products…can you believe this company is as old as I am?  They continue to make quality learning products and each book comes with clear and simple, yet funny instruction books, as well as the materials you will need to complete each activity.  It’s a huge reason I love the Klutz brand, they make crafting with my kids so easy.  This fall they are also unveiling brand new packaging that allows for the Klutz books to be easier to stack, wrap, shelve, and browse. The best part is that the supplies are easier to store within the new packaging, hooray!
My kids absolutely LOVE stickers, so we just had to try out the Sticker Design Studio from Klutz.  Now, even though this book says it’s for ages 8 an older my kids totally had fun with it.  If you have younger children like me you will just want help them out a bit with instructions and the beginnings of the design process.  I love to craft with my kids, and let’s face it, I love stickers and coloring as much as they do so this was really a non-issue with me 🙂
Let me tell you this book comes loaded with tons of blank sticker sheets.  All the stickers have light outlines on them to help get your coloring mojo on.  The markers that come with the book cover the lines really well so no one will be the wiser that you didn’t hand draw something 😉  My kids liked the lines as guides for changing colors.

Of course, like all Klutz books, this one comes with quirky instructions written perfectly for a child to understand.  If you have small non-reading children like me, you will just want to relay the message to them so they can get the most out of their sticker crafting time.

 There are two pages of design inspiration which I loved, hello basket weave!

There are even quite a few pages on fun ways to make your stickers last…ie, making them into a magnet or laminating them.  I love that Klutz books always go above and beyond just the basic activity.

 There is a zippered pouch attached to the book for the markers.

 And there were enough colors to go wild on the rainbow stickers!

 My kids had a blast creating their own stickers…

 We spent a good hour, at least, bringing out our inner Picasso.

Here is a little about the book from Klutz:

Sticker Design Studio

To make your mark truly personal, stick with Sticker Design Studio. This book is packed with more than 400 stickers to mix, match, color, and layer to create your own unique designs. The almost-blank stickers are lightly printed with designs that are just barely there, and once they are inked over, the lines become nearly invisible — so only your creative genius shows. With pages of tips, inspiration, and guided creativity, even if you can’t draw a heart, you can still ink one in your own unique style.

Comes With: 8 markers, 14 sheets of stickers (4 with glitter)

For ages 8 and up

Price:$16.99

Seriously, a ton of fun!  With a mission statement like, “Create Wonderful Things.  Be Good.  Have Fun.” it’s no doubt that Klutz has sold over 100 million activity products to date.

And if that’s not cool enough, Klutz is launching a Wrap It Up with Klutz! Sweepstakes this fall.  They are giving away 1000 prizes over the next 10 weeks-10 fans each week will win a prize pack featuring 10 Klutz Books!

The best part is, you can enter once per week, here, on the Klutz Facebook page to win a variety of titles from Klutz.  The weekly sweeps start every Monday and you can enter through November 26, 2012.

You will see a few more posts from me over the next few months highlighting more of these great products.  If you want to see more titles from Klutz click here, and make sure to keep up with Klutz on Facebook here!

XOXO,

    I’ve never seen these before! They’re adorable, I wish my little cousins would play with something like this! They’re too busy on their stupid ipods and video games though.
