How to Play Scene Stickers: A Beginner Friendly Guide
🧹 Step 1: Removing Excess Sticker Backing
Removing Excess Sticker Backing is the process of removing the excess parts (aka “waste” or “negative space”) from the sticker sheet, so you can see and pick up the actual stickers more easily.
How to Remove Safely:
1. Use a pointed tweezer and start lifting from the corner of the backing film.
2. Be gentle and slow to avoid tearing delicate stickers.
3. Tiny stickers may get lifted accidentally—just press them back onto the sheet.
4. Once weeded, the stickers are much easier to pick up. Some may even pop up with just a slight bend of the base sheet.
⚠️ Removing is optional! If you're comfortable working without it, go ahead!
Bonus Tip:
Don’t throw away the leftover base paper—you can use it to create your own positioning tools (see Step 3).
📍 Step 2: Where to Start Sticking?
Use the reference layout.
Generally, work from:
1. Back to front
2. Bottom to top
3. Inside to outside
Example:
Start from the brown platform in the center → add back-wall cabinets → then outer cabinets.
📌 For layered buildings, always begin with the first floor.
99% of scenes start from the center cross-point—whatever is overlapped should be placed first.
🎯 Step 3: How to Align Stickers?
Golden Rule: Find the Parallel
First: Make an Alignment Tool (Using PET Backing Film)
After you've finished using a PET sticker backing sheet, you can cut it down into smaller sizes based on your needs. I like to keep three sizes—large, medium, and small—to match different sticker sizes.
1. Check the Front and Back:
Identify the front side of the PET sheet—the side with lower stickiness. You can test it by gently pressing a sticker on both sides; the side that allows easy removal is the front.
2. Mark the Front Side:
To avoid confusion later, add a small mark or sticker on the front side. This way, you’ll always know which side to use for alignment.
✨ For Large Stickers:
Use a PET Alignment Tool :
1. Stick most of the sticker onto the transparent film, leaving one corner free.
2. Move the whole setup to the background board. Align the sticker using the corner and visual cues.
3. Once in place, press down and slowly peel away the PET film.
📏 For Geometric or Framed Items (doors, shelves, boxes):
1. Align the edges with background lines—like floor lines or wall panels.
2. Use parallel or vertical lines as your visual reference.
🌀 For Irregular Shapes:
1. Imagine a symmetry line, center line, or horizon line.
2. Use these invisible lines to align your objects with surrounding elements.
🧰 Tools You’ll Need:
1. 3D Scene Sticker (→Shop Now)
2. Tweezers (we'll included)
3. Scissors (optional, for trimming)
4. PET Alignment Tool (can be made from leftover sticker backing)
💡 Final Tips:
1. Don’t worry if it feels tricky at first! The more you try, the easier it gets. Practice makes perfect—and most importantly, have fun.
2. Be careful with the tweezers! The tips can be sharp, so handle with care.
3. For kids: Adult supervision is recommended during use, especially when handling sharp tools.
