How to Make a Custom Photo Sticker

Making a photo sticker for birthdays or the holidays is quick and easy. You have two options to make a sticker on Bottle Your Brand; use a predesigned template and edit the example or create your own label from scratch. We'll look at the first option which is editing an existing template. For purposes of illustration we'll use the example from Custom Labels>Weddings>Bontemps Photo Sticker. This label is 3" high by 4" wide.

Go to www.bottleyourbrand.com to select the sticker design template.

1. From Create My Own select Custom Labels.
2. In the Browse designs by category area choose the category Weddings. From the wedding designs scroll until you locate Bontemps Photo Sticker. Select that sticker. You will see the example photo and text on the label.
3. Choose the quantity of labels you would like from the drop down menu or enter your quantity in the box.
4. Click on the green Personalize It button. Now you are in the design online screen.

Add Your Photo

1. First let's remove the example photo. Click on it with your cursor. A small blue tool bar will pop up. On the far right of the tool bar is a rectangle with a red X. When you hover over this rectangle the words Remove selected item appear. Click on the rectangle with the X.
2. Now let's add your photo. Select Add Images from the overhead toolbar. A box will appear asking you to Browse your files for the photo you want to upload. Select your file and click on it.  The photo will upload to the design area.
3. Move the photo into place by clicking and holding the cursor over the photo. Adjust the size of the photo one of two ways: use the slider on the tool bar or grab a red box on one of the corners of the orange outline.
4. Now Send Back the photo by selecting the middle rectangle on the blue tool bar. Adjust further if necessary by clicking & dragging the image or use the Vertical Center directional arrows on the blue tool bar.

Edit the Text

Once your photo is positioned you can personalize the text. Click on the word you want to change and the blue tool bar pops up. An orange box with red corners appears around the word. If you want to keep the same color text, just backspace until the word disappears and type in your word.

To change the color of the text use the Font Color box located on the blue tool bar. Click on the box and a color grid appears. There are three options for text color:

• Pick a color from the grid
• Use the eyedropper tool and select a color from the images on the label
• Use the color wheel to access the Advanced Color Picker.

Once you have your text arranged you are ready to place your order. Congratulations! You've made your own photo sticker.
