Stick ‘Em Up BY ABBY BLOSE ILLUSTRATIONS BY AVERY ALLISON
Something as simple as a sticker can serve as a political statement or a representation of one’s identity, so there is no denying the power a single sticker can hold. Take a look around; laptops, reusable water bottles, phones, cars, skateboards, notebooks — they are all covered in stickers. With the element of personalization stickers add, any ordinary object transforms into a piece of artwork that carefully
displays the owner’s narrative. Stickers are available everywhere, but it is sometimes hard to find exactly what one is looking for. Maybe someone wants a sticker of their dog, or of an inside joke shared with friends. Whatever their custom sticker needs may be, there is a simple way to make these types of stickers at an affordable price; using materials that are readily available.
