Trollface Stickers galore

Behold... my homemade trollface stickers!
U mad bro?
I made them over the weekend after a sudden strike of inspiration. I don't know why I didn't get to this idea sooner. The Trollface meme is at the height of its popularity, and I for one still find it hilarious. Obviously, I didn't create these characters, but my process on making them into stickers is completely my own. Besides...wouldn't it be cool to be a troll IRL sometimes?

I made a few various styles of these stickers. I added a few Me Gusta and Forever Alone into the bunch, as well as 2 different sizes of "classic" troll faces.


I chose not to use printable adhesive labels/paper to make these stickers. Instead, I opted for putting industrial double stick tape on the back of each print. It takes a little longer, and probably costs a bit more, but I really like how the double stick tape works for stickers. Previous test stickers I've made with this stuff were definitely not easy to peel off of surfaces. The trollfaces will be no exception- They're pretty much impossible to be completely removed from something once they're stuck down. Trololol!


There was one more thing I had to do with this project before I could be satisfied. These trolls need a fancy place to be kept while they await use, so I went ahead and made special tiny troll envelopes. I printed them out and assembled each individually by hand. They turned out really great, and definitely add value to the stickers over all. In fact, I think I ended up liking the envelopes more than the stickers themselves!

 
These guys turned out being a hit at a recent birthday party I attended. As a result, my first batch of stickers was pretty much depleted in one night! Fortunately they're super fun to make so I won't have any problem generating more. My next batch will be improved- I'm adding the "Y U NO?" character in the bunch.






Get a pack for yourself! This pack includes 3 medium classics, 5 small classics, 1 forever alone, 1 y u no and 1 me gusta. But we can mix and match if you'd prefer. Feel free to contact me with any questions or requests.
$5.00
