- Hello! Today I’m creating a new vinyl sticker collection inspired by my windowsill garden plants! I take you through my whole process; from illustrating, to scanning, to printing, to cutting. I also try out & review HOMSTO sticker paper, and give tips for printing on glossy, matte, and clear paper (including my tips to avoid/prevent smudging!)

i'm loving these drawings! they look like they'd be in a botanical textbook
Ahh that's so nice, thank you!
She deserves a lot more, and this is something I’d really want to say, when she was drawing, it reminded me of the precision of a printer and how the drawing looked like printed.
-me and my frnds
Now I want to buy some plants ❤️. I really love how you illustrate yours
Yass you totally should! I can definitely recommend a tabbitha haha🌿
Thank you!
@@Zaccura hehe! Thank you for your recommendation ❤️❤️❤️
Tabbitha is so uwuwuwuwu. I also love your style! The stickers came out to cute!
Thank you so much!!
These turned out really cute! There's something oddly satisfying about watching you tetris the designs together on the page haha
Hahaha it's like a puzzle! ;D
Thanks so much!
It really is!
@@Zaccuraso true
Wow I didn't realize it that easy to make stickers at home. Subscribed, thanks!
So glad it was helpful! And thanks for the support!
Nice! I've enjoyed using matte paper for stickers too. Great work!
I also love plants. My kitchen window is great for them, but I don't have a window sill... So I have my avocado and spider plants balanced on the corners of my sink. They don't fit at all.
Also, I appreciated hearing your plant stories, so let me tell you the story of my avocado's life, because it's pretty eventful actually. It's about 1.5 years old and its name is Vida because it has an immense desire to live, which is especially unique for avocados.
Initially I was trying to grow a different avocado, but had accidentally let the water get to low and its growing slowed way down. We were moving in a month and I was worried it wouldn't be big enough to plant before we moved. So when I opened an avocado and it already had a thick long root sprouting from its pit, I took advantage of that. It grew fast, but when it started getting leaves my parents' cat ate the top... But it grew a new stalk and somehow was big enough to plant by the time we moved!
It got really big really fast, but eventually got sick, or a fungus, or something. It started losing leaves. It was still growing them, but as soon as it started growing a new set the last set would start to die. I had no idea what to do.
We moved again and I had it out on the kitchen table. My toddlers left it alone for a while, but one day they ripped off ALL of the leaves. I knew I couldn't trust them! I put it in the kitchen window since it gets so much light and it grew new leaves! Also, the leaves have stopped dying, so somehow getting all it's leaves ripped off cured it. I have no idea how it has survived, but it's thriving.
Good job on your video! I enjoy them!
AW I love Vida!💖💖 Thanks so much for sharing your story. I hope it continues to thrive and becomes a big lovely tree someday! Do you have pictures of Vida? I’d love to see it, feel free to email me if you like.
I hope you're doing well since we haven't heard from you in a while. Also since you haven't made this into a video yet I figured I'd pop a little story update. Vida got tiny flies living in her dirt a little while ago and they've been everywhere, but a week or so ago a little spider moved it and now there are less bugs! So she can stay, I named her Lacey because she made that sort of compact, everywhere, chaotic kind of web all around Vida up to her leaves and it kinda looks like lace. She did make an egg sac and we don't need that many spiders inside, so I had to water Vida so Lacey would come out and I could remove the egg sac without hurting her. Feel free to add Lacey to the drawing if you want to!
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere Oh wow, the Vida-verse is expanding😆 That is really cool! I’ve been having those little flies in some of my plants too, they’re really annoying.🙄 Glad Lacey has taken up residence with Vida.
@@Zaccura Well then I hope a spider finds your plants too! I'm really not sure the best way to get rid of the flies without one...
Why you're so underatted? 😭😭😭
Your drawing and coloring is so cute 😍🥰🥰😍
Thank youuuu!
i just love ur art and u r soooo funny
You are amazing.
Please do the laminated video. I love your channel
Planning that video out at the moment actually! Just got the hang of laminating stickers for an upcoming shop update.
Sup tabitha 🍃 and sup sensei zaccy they look sooo cool 🤩
Tabbitha says hi🌿
And thank you!
These came out really cute! It was neat to see the whole process and I love what you said about using minimal supplies.
Aw thanks so much, Kraken!
Wow
I was just wondering how to mare vinyl stickers and your video appeared! Suscribed
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support!
This is amazing! I am growing lots of veggies and herbs too, it's so much fun :) Your little Illustrations are so cute, I love them. Good luck with your growing
Aw thanks so much, Meanstin! And that is awesome, best of luck with your growing too!
AWESOME !!! Great stickers and review ;) I received some of your stickers for Christmas and I've put them on my embroidery boxes ;) Thanks for sharing ;D
Ahh that's so awesome, so glad you enjoyed the stickers! And thanks so much!
They turned out so nice!
Just gotta throw this out here since you apparently hand cut your stickers. It might be worth looking into getting a swivel knife. They're pretty much an exacto knife that swivels so you can do curves crazy easy. Might save you some effort with any luck.
(They're sometimes called a rotating blade knife, or drag knife but swivel knife or knife for stickers are good search terms.)
You got serious skills. They all turned out so good! And you're so good at cutting out the stickers neatly. Well Done!
Ooo thanks so much for the tip! I had no idea such a knife existed.🤯 Will definitely have to give it a try some time!💖🙏
@@Zaccura I didn't either. lol. I was using scissors for my test stickers. I learned that one from Holly Brown here on CZcams.
Hope that it makes it easier for you!
Which material do you use them to color
