Question

Can I just find an image online to use instead of drawing and editing one of my own?

Community Answer

Yes, but you can't sell them if you use someone else's design, as that would be against copyright law.

Question

Can I use a picture from the web for the stickers?

Community Answer

Yes, just don't sell them, because it's someone else's idea, and any commercial use of it would be a breach of copyright. Personal, household use only!

Question

Can I make car decals doing this method? Will it be safe on my vehicle?

Community Answer

No, this method isn't appropriate because the stickers will not be water proof nor fully UV proof. For making stickers suitable for a vehicle, you need vinyl die-cut decals using a vinyl cutter and Oracal 651 vinyl, for example.

Question

If vinyl stickers are laminated, will they last on mugs and cups that go through the dishwasher or are hand-washed?

The stickers are not completely waterproof, so no.

Question

Can I use vinyl stickers to stick on an acrylic tumbler?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. Hand wash the tumbler only, though. The dishwasher will ruin it. Otherwise, stick it on carefully so the acrylic won't come off.
