- How do I turn my animal illustrations into the best selling product in my Etsy shop? In this video I show you the super simple way I make stickers and the advantages this method has for me over using a Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine. And I'll give you my four top tips if you want to try this method yourself.

Wow when initially seeing that you’re cutting them by hand I thought “that’s crazy!” But you really have a system that works and is so much less stress than dealing with the Cricut. Very impressive and the sticker designs are amazing!
I think the Cricut would drive me to tears one way or another. This is like a form of relaxation for me 😊
My wife and I were discussing whether to invest in a Cricut machine. This is such a genius idea. Thank you for your time.
I am still kind of tempted by them sometimes but as soon as I start looking into them again, they feel like more trouble than they'd be worth for me.
Great video Dani ❤
Aww, thank you 😊
Love these stickers ❤❤
Thank you! I love making them.
Hi Dani, your drawings are awesome! What's the company that does the printing for you?
Thank you. I use Printed.com for my stickers and cards and have done for years. For these sticker sheets you need to look for their 'flat unfinished sheets' and select the crack-back paper.
@@daniwilliamsillustration thank you
Wow, I think that is impressive you’ve done all that work by hand. Do you have any tips or insights for how you’ve kept your wrist happy with that much scissor use? I did miniature knitting years ago under some intense deadlines, which gave me some repetitive motion injuries in my wrist and shoulders at the time, and I know I tend to clench scissors a bit hard when I’m focused on accurate cuts.
It's never actually bothered me. The hand holding the scissors is barely moving, all the turning of the paper is done with my left hand, but maybe I've just been lucky in avoiding strain.
@@daniwilliamsillustration Hmmm. I’m going to have to pay closer attention to what “jobs” each of my hands are doing what the next time I cut out something precise with scissors. It sounds like you probably have some better habits, and it makes sense it wouldn’t hurt if one’s muscles are consistently in a more relaxed state. Thanks so much for replying!
@@jngarrettart Yeah, sorry I can't offer anything specific. Also, I'm double-jointed so my wrists do move more than normal 😆

Thanks FoxMonster!
