Sticker-Making Guide
Vinyl stickers are the most weather-resistant form of stickers you can make. They require a specific kind of paper to create, and a separate laminate on top of the vinyl sticker paper in order to mitigate most potential weather effects.
You should be able to print them using any printer. If you and your comrades don’t have one, you can try using the ones at a library. Some librarians might be chill with it, for others you might just have to be stealthy about swapping out the paper in the printer so that you can get the stickers made. You can apparently also print stickers at a regular print shop.
We found that the QYH Matte Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper has been a reliable sticker paper to use. For the laminate, we use the Avery 73601 Self-Adhesive Laminating sheets. That specific laminate in particular makes the stickers hard to scratch with a key, though we have found that reactionaries have been able to sometimes remove the stickers entirely through peeling them off. You can also laminate stickers with a sealant spray; however, we have no experience with that method.
Here is a solid written guide on making vinyl stickers. The images in it sadly lack alt-text.
This is an ok video about making vinyl stickers. The first 2+ minutes of the video details designing, printing, and laminating the stickers. At 2:16 the video becomes purely about using Cricut machines which we have no experience with. You can just cut out the stickers individually with a regular set of scissors.
Note that for our designs, you can just print directly from the sticker sheet file without having to use any sort of program to prepare them.
If you live in the so-called “united states”, a cheaper option is to use USPS Priority Mail Address Labels as the sticker paper. You can get up to 750 labels per order for free on the USPS store. They are difficult enough to laminate that it should not be tried. However, they are effective stickers in either dry climates or on surfaces that rarely get wet.
You can use USPS labels on any printer that is able to print on smaller paper.
This is a solid video that describes how to make stickers with USPS labels. It consists of the guy fucking around with the printer setting to get the right print size for the sticker.
The individual “sticker” files of our designs (not the sticker sheet) should be able to fit for these USPS labels. However, you might have to fuck around with the print settings still in order to get decent results.
If you don’t have access to a printer, and don’t want to be around unmasked fucks in a library or a print shop, you can instead commission certain people on the internet to make vinyl stickers for you. Email us if you want any suggestions. The individual “sticker” file of our designs should be able to work for these commissions.
Wheatpaste Guide
Wheatpasting is a method of putting posters up in public through a special, yet easy to make, paste that can keep the poster up from weeks to months (if no one takes them down). It is especially useful if you want to put up a message that cannot be ignored that easily.
Since there is a lot of solid guides out there with regards to wheatpaste, here are some you can check out:
This is a decently written guide on the subject.
This is a solid video on making wheatpaste. It is semi-captioned, in that the specific instructions for making the wheatpaste have captions. The video consists of the listing of the ingredients, and steps on how to mix the ingredients together into wheatpaste.
There are many recipes to out there to experiment with that include either sugar, salt, wood glue, and/or vinegar. Try different ingredients and see what works best with you.
If you are lacking the spoons to make wheatpaste, wallpaper adhesive is a decent alternative which is relatively not that expensive to acquire.
With regards to posters: printing black and white on colored paper is a great way to make a design standout without having to spend on color ink.
General Advice
Watch for cameras, and make sure cops don’t see you.
If you want to be safe regarding cameras, it is probably best to visit a spot in the daytime to get a clear view of the area.
No one is awake on Sunday-Thursday night in the early AM hours in most occasions. Take advantage of the darkness.
Scouting is always good.
Leave your phone at home if you don’t want to be tracked.
In short, don’t get caught.
