Running Wilcox Customs has always been about more than just selling cute stickers.
It’s about the process.It’s about learning.And honestly… it’s about figuring things out as I go — with dogs under my feet and a Cricut running in the background.
I’ve had a lot of people lately ask how I actually make my stickers — especially during my live videos and behind-the-scenes clips. So I finally decided to do something I’ve been meaning to do for a while…
👉 I’m starting a short tutorial series that walks through my real sticker-making workflow.
This tutorial series shows exactly how to make stickers with a Cricut for a small business using my real workflow at Wilcox Customs.
Not a perfect, influencer version.The real one.
🐾 Why I decided to start a sticker tutorial series
I’ve shared tons of quick clips on TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest — peeling stickers, setting up my mat, packaging orders, and cutting designs.
But I realized something:
A lot of small creators and new business owners want more than just a quick clip.They want to actually understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
And honestly… when I first started, I really could’ve used a realistic breakdown like this.
So this series is for:
other small business owners
Cricut beginners
digital artists
sticker shop owners
and anyone who’s curious how a home-based sticker shop actually works
✂️What I’ll be showing in my how to make stickers with a Cricut series
This won’t be one long, overwhelming video.I broke it into short, simple parts so it’s easier to follow.
Here’s what I’ll be covering:
1. Introduction to my sticker setup
A quick overview of what I use and how my workflow looks in real life.
2. The software and tools I use
I’ll explain what each program and machine actually does (and what you don’t need).
3. How I set up my sticker designs for print & cut
Including sizing, layout, and how I prep my files before cutting.
4. Prep work before cutting
Sticker paper, mats, machine setup, and the small steps that make a big difference.
5. The full sticker-making process
From loading the paper to cutting and peeling the finished stickers.
6. A short recap and final results
What worked, what I adjusted, and what I learned along the way.
💻 Using my own PNG bundles for the tutorials
One thing I’m really excited about is that I’ll be using my own digital PNG bundles during the tutorials.
That means you’ll be seeing real designs that are already available in my shop — the same files my customers download and use.
It’s important to me to show:
how I personally use my files
how they’re formatted
and what you can realistically expect from them
If you’ve ever wondered how to use a digital sticker file after you download it, these videos will help bridge that gap.
🐶 Real talk — this is a one-woman shop
Wilcox Customs is just me.
I design.I print.I cut.I package.I ship.I answer messages.I run social media.
And of course… I do all of it with my dogs hanging around (Hemi is basically my shop supervisor and inspiration for everything I do).
This series isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about showing what’s actually possible with the tools you already have and the time you can realistically give.
📌 Where you can watch the series
I’ll be posting each part of the tutorial series on:
I’ll also be linking the matching digital downloads directly on my website so you can follow along if you want to.
💛 Thank you for supporting my small business
