End the frustration of trying to get those sticker letters on straight with this simple technique using the waste backing paper from your tape runner.

Difficulty Level: Easy      Time Required: 5 minutes

1. Decide on a simple title or phrase that you want to spell out with stickers.
2. Divide this wording as needed to create single lines of text, i.e. "Christmas" on line one, "1999" on line two.
3. Remove a 10-12" piece of the backing paper left over from the use of a Creative Memories tape runner, length needed will vary with the number of letters in your phrase.
4. Place the stickers from the first line of your text onto the backing paper spaced exactly as you want them to appear on your page .
5. As you place the letters on the backing paper, line each of them up with the bottom edge of the strip, leaving the letters protruding well above the backing paper.
6. Center the phrase on your scrapbook page while it is still attached to the backing paper. 
7. Rub the stickers firmly to adhere the top of each letter to the scrapbook page.
8. Carefully peel the backing paper out from underneath the lower half of the letters.
9. Rub the rest of each letter so that it is fully secured to the page.
10. Repeat these steps with any remaining lines of text.   
    

1. If you do not have backing paper from a tape runner you could use the backing from a strip of stickers.
2. When using a sticker backing strip, you may want to draw a line with a permanent marker approximately 1/2" from the top edge of the strip to use as a reference for lining up the letters.
3. Having a scrapbooking friend to help hold the line of letters in place while you begin pressing them down can be helpful.
