Make Your Own Stickers for Fun or Business. Save Money with DIY and Add a Handmade Personal Touch

No matter How much I shop around ~ I can’t beat the price of making my own cards, labels AND stickers!!!

Yes ~ as many colors as I choose – and even the solid black background!
I guess I’ll need to buy a bigger paper cutter 😛

Another perk is that I can change the design whenever I want at no additional cost and only a few minutes later I’ve got a fresh look for any season!

These are my all new waterproof stickers – printed right here at Happy Hollow Glass and 100% cut by a small scrap booking paper cutter with my own two hands!  Woot

Stay tuned for “barter’s gone bad” and “how to make your work pay even when your client doesn’t.”

Posts based on my personal experience operating a freelance business and trying to incorporate alternative currency, bartering, trading etc. 

 “One of the drawbacks of freelancing is that there is no guaranteed payment, and the work can be highly precarious.”
