While I may not see them on store shelves anymore, I do have some fond memories of lick-and-stick stickers from childhood – especially the flavored ones! I didn’t know it was possible to make your own until I saw this great tutorial from our own Heather over on Home Made Simple. Using this technique, you can transform any paper – from old maps to scrapbook paper – into a sticker. You could even use this technique to make lickable edges on homemade envelopes. [how to make your own stickers]
Project estimate:
- Gelatin, $1 and up
- Bowl, on hand
- Water, on hand
- Paper, on hand
- Scissors, on hand
- Paintbrush, on hand
- Spoon, on hand
Total: $1 and up

I GUESS STICKERS AREN’T AROUND MUCH ANYMORE, BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE PUTTING LSD, ETC. ON THEM, AND WERE SELLING THEM TO SCHOOL CHILDREN YEARS AGO. THEY LICKED THE STICKERS, AND TOOK IN THE DRUG, AND IT WOULD GET THEM SICK, OR HOOKED, OR OTHERWISE.
