If you have been a fan of collecting cool stationery in your school years, including cute notebooks and, of course, stickers, you will like this cool project from Game Developer Sol.

Another way to craft digital stickers is the one shown by Wes McDermott – using Substance 3D with the Custom Sticker tool. The artist shared a short tutorial:
