So, I wanted to make some stickers, and I had this idea for “tuna no crust.” I’m a big fan of the Fast & Furious movies, and there’s this iconic line from the first one where Brian orders a tuna sandwich and says “no crust.” I thought it would be cool to turn that into a sticker.
First, I started looking for a good design. I searched online, but I couldn’t find anything that really captured what I was looking for. So, I decided to create my own. I messed around with some fonts and images, trying to get that classic JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) look.
Once I was happy with the design, I needed to find a way to print it. I remembered seeing that some stickers are made with this “high opacity adhesive vinyl” stuff. Sounds fancy, right? Apparently, it’s super durable, which is exactly what I wanted. I don’t want these stickers falling apart after a few weeks.
I found a few online printing services that offer vinyl stickers. I compared prices and reviews, and finally settled on one. It was pretty straightforward. I just uploaded my design, chose the size and quantity, and placed the order.
- Design the sticker
- Find a printing service
- Upload the design
- Place the order
Waiting for the stickers to arrive was the hardest part. I was so excited to see how they turned out. When the package finally showed up, I ripped it open right away. And you know what? They looked awesome! The colors were vibrant, and the vinyl felt really sturdy. They really captured that whole “Paul Walker automotive stickers for car enthusiasts” vibe.
I immediately slapped one on my laptop, and I’ve been getting compliments on it ever since. People keep asking me where I got it, and it’s pretty cool to say that I designed it myself.
Overall, it was a really fun project. It was cool to take a simple idea and turn it into something tangible. And it’s a great feeling to see something you created out in the wild. If you’re thinking about making your own stickers, I say go for it! It’s a pretty rewarding experience. I’ll probably make more, maybe a whole collection.
Things I learned
- Designing takes time. Don’t rush it.
- Vinyl is the way to go for durable stickers.
- Online printing services are pretty convenient.
- Waiting is the hardest part!
So, yeah, that’s the story of my “tuna no crust” sticker adventure. Hope you enjoyed it!
