I don’t exactly know how to say this but how do you get like simple words that looked typed and they are on little rectangles of paper. They aren’t stickers. I just don’t know lol

[@CayleeGrey]

Do you mean the typewritten words? Essie just types them on her vintage typewriter and cuts them out.

[@ASentientPlant]

7 of these were basically stickers... :[
