Xyron 100012 Teresa Collins Sticker Maker : Amazon.ca: Office Products

This is so much fun. Written words or tiny pieces of paper can be put through it and then stored as stickers for later use, or placed on a project easily right away. Perfect for small, intricately cut things that otherwise would be difficult to apply glue onto. I'm so glad I got it for my card making.

When it arrived, I thought it was gonna be bigger but I still LOVE it! one of my favourite things I've ever bought. And it sticks well, haven't had it long tho. Doesn't leave sticky marks, even after sticking to my window for maybe a week. Altogether amazing, way better than expected for the price only downfall is its kinda small.

I have the 5" creative station (a few years), but this Xyron is great for SMALL ephemera... little pieces, labels and one-off's!! (Which is why I purchased... not to waste material in my 5" machine).CON - I find with this small machine, there is quite a bit of "waste" of tape (between stickers) as you roll it out and cut off. You can't really do much about it (I really tried)PRO - I like this one, because it comes out as a covered "bag" (that you press to adhere the sticky before opening and applying). This enclosure allows you to keep the sticker in the "bag" so you can use it later, or add stickers to a journal you might give away for the recipient to then stick it where they want. You can't do that with the bigger machine (no bag, just stickers)... but with the bigger machine can do bigger items!USESSo these machines work well in general - thus good product! I use stickers for crafting in general as needed AND ALSO for labels on (clean, alcohol-wiped) BOTTLES. Adhesion is good! I am using it more for the latter these days, as glue is cheaper for paper crafting, unless I need a "sticker" (specific purpose).BE AWARE - REFILLS (and Costs):I am sparing with its use, because especially now refills are getting way too expensive and/or hard to find, depending on your machine. With my bigger machine, the cost has "doubled" since my last purchase!With shortages and Canada always having tripple the price of the US (ridiculous), I recommend you decide why you need this vs glue.I did find an Amazon seller where I could get more cartridges for a reasonable price for the Xyron - hopefully it will stay that way, but who knows. Right now I only have the cartridge it came with which is around 20'NOTE: I contacted the company and they were not super helpful on the matter of price. They have soooo many different sizes of machines and stickers, so make sure you get the refill for your specific machine. At least they are making the stickers to match the machine, bec there is nothing worse than having an obsolete machine that wasn't cheap. Let's hope they continue to do so.

I am obsessed with this thing! I use it with students to make them their desired sticker choice as reinforcement. One of my students is obsessed with sonic. I used this to make it some sonic stickers and he was sooooooooo excited! Worked the full 30 minutes during our therapy session for that sticker. It definitely is worth the money

Through some sort of fairy dust magic unicorn technology, this thing turns any piece of paper, cardboard or material, that is small enough to fit through it into a sticker. I have to admit I bought it more out of curiosity than I did an actual need, but it's becoming more obvious how handy this could be. Essentially if you can fit it through the machine (up to 1.5" wide) you can turn it into a sticker, which opens up a ton of possibilities. Much easier than fumbling around with a glue stick, and so far the adhesive seems tacky enough for most uses, could be a bit stickier in my opinion though. Turn anything from handwritten notes to custom printed labels into stickers in a few seconds. If you do any sort of crafting this item is a must for your arsenal of tools.PROS:• Anything that fits into the machine can be turned into a sticker.• Turn cardstock, hand-drawn art, printed images, ribbons, cloth, all into a sticker• has permanent and repositionable adhesive options• comes with 20' roll of permanent adhesive• Edge to edge adhesiveCONS:• Unit was smaller than I expected. They do have larger models at a higher pricepoint• fair amount of waste when creating stickers• Permanent adhesive could be tackier, It holds but on most items, you can easily peel it off again.TIPS & TRICKS:• My son loves drawing his own little pictures and turning them into stickers.• double-layer sacrificial paper to apply adhesive to specific areas for some custom crafting
