Print the digital design onto decal waterslide transfer paper using your inkjet printer. Set the printer options to those recommended by the transfer paper manufacturer. Insert the paper into the printer with the coated side facing the printer’s inkjet head. Allow the printed design to dry for at least 15 minutes.
Spray at least two coats of acrylic sealant on transfer paper. Use the brand of spray recommended by the transfer paper maker. Apply more coats if directions instruct you to do so, letting each coat dry thoroughly before you spray on the next.
Hold the printout flat with one hand on an old magazine. Cut out the decal with a craft knife using the other hand. Leave a quarter-inch border around the decal if the transfer paper is clear. If the transfer paper is white, do not leave a border.
Submerge the decal in a bowl with two inches of water. The decal may curl at first but will uncurl after a short time. Leave the decal in the water for the amount of time instructed on the package. When you can slide the decal back and forth between your fingers against the backing paper, it is ready to take out of the water.
Leave the decal on the backing and take it out of the bowl. Slide one side about a quarter-inch off the backing. Place the decal on the target item such as a coffee mug or vase and slide the backing out from under the decal. Wipe from the middle to the edges with a paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Let it dry completely.
Hi Teresa, here's a link to video that may help. Sometimes it's a little easier when you can watch someone else do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3JiUHjcVL4

You can buy sticker paper at any office supply store. Simply create your design on the computer and print on the sticker paper. You can also get magnet paper and iron on transfer paper!
Avery has an online template for every sticker size it makes. You can get Avery stickers at office supply stores or online. I have never seen them at Walmart
To make stickers with an inkjet printer, print out your design on a sticker paper and cut with scissors. You could also use a "sticker maker" machine that basically just adds an adhesive onto any piece of paper.
