Making Stickers

[.SteezusChrist.]

I wanna start making some die cut stickers (I think thats the right name for the stickers where you peel off the back and put the sticker on, then peel off the adhesive).

I understand I will need a machine. I was wondering if anybody could lead me in the right way for a machine, colors, all that basic starter stuff for printing stickers. I don't need to print 1000's of stickers, but I would like for it to not be hard and have to cut them out with an exacto and stuff. If anybody could help steer me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

Thanks

This is what you need:

-Computer

-Vinyl Cutter

-Software (normally comes with cutter)

-Vinyl (tons of different types and colors, but it's all the same in the end)

-Adhesive tape

-Exacto knife

and that's about it. It's pretty straight forward once you have all the equipment
