Learn how to create stickers with GIMP. Making Stickers Using GIMP can be done by making a selection, filling the selection using the color we want, then adding a drop shadow filter. You can fill in the sticker using a photo or just text using the Text Tool. The sticker fold effect can be created by making a selection, cutting the selection and pasting it on a separate layer, then our cut results are rotated 180 degrees. For the shadow of the sticker folds, we can use the Paintbrush Tool. Please follow the steps below for how to make stickers using GIMP!
