Step
Method 1 of 9: Use rubbing alcohol to clean the laptop case
Step 1. Dirt and grease can build up and make the sticker difficult to stick
Most people don't clean their laptops as often as necessary. In order for the sticker to stick well, dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol, then rub it on the outside of the laptop where the sticker will be attached.
If there is some adhesive residue on your laptop, you may need to rub the cloth harder or try using a glue and dirt remover product
Method 2 of 9: Use a sticker that shows your interest
Step 1. Collect stickers for hobbies, attractions, musical groups, or art that you like
Maybe your favorite business or company sells stickers that look great on a laptop. If you're not promoting your business, look for stickers that feature quirky things in the form of quotes, food, famous people, art, pop culture, or places you've been.
- For example, maybe you have a sticker with a favorite quote, a sticker of a band you've watched, or a sticker of a football team you like.
- Many people put stickers on their laptops to show where they came from. This can be a great conversation starter. Maybe someone will come up to you and talk to you about your hometown.
Method 3 of 9: Use a color theme
Step 1. Use a color that matches the laptop to make it attractive
It's okay if you start sticking stickers randomly, but it might make the laptop look messy and untidy. To make it look balanced, use stickers with colors that match the laptop.
- For example, maybe you still want to use black and white stickers, but you can make it stand out by adding some green stickers.
- Experiment with colors! You can use just one color of the sticker to make it stand out. For example, choose a sticker in pale yellow, bright yellow, and neon yellow.
Method 4 of 9: Group stickers by size
Step 1. Experiment by placing stickers with the balance you want
This is especially important if you have stickers of various sizes. For aesthetic balance, place a few large stickers on each side of the case before you actually stick them. This will serve as the background. Next, arrange a small sticker around it to fill in the blank space. When you are satisfied with the arrangement, peel off the back of the sticker and stick it on.
Method 5 of 9: Arrange stickers by shape
Step 1. Show off your uniquely shaped sticker by sticking it on top
If you have stickers with unique shapes, don't put them in a lot or overlap them. You have to highlight its distinctive shape. Instead of sticking a unique sticker at the beginning, stick it at the last moment so it's on top and clearly visible.
If you have some pretty hexagonal-shaped stickers, try arranging them in a honeycomb pattern. In this way, the stickers will not overlap and their distinctive shape will be clearly visible
Method 6 of 9: Stick the stickerbomb on the laptop to completely cover it
Step 1. Use lots of stickers that overlap the positions
Sticker bombs (combining multiple stickers into a collage) are fun! All you need is a bunch of stickers, which you can buy in packs at online stores or bookstores. Check the sticker pack and select the sticker you want. Next, try to arrange all the stickers on top of each other. Place the sticker you want to highlight at the last moment so that it doesn't get covered by another sticker.
For a sticker bomb to have a smooth looking appearance, use a knife cutter to carefully slice along the edges of the case to remove any excess sticking out of the sticker
Method 7 of 9: Limit the number of stickers that contain quotes
Step 1. It's okay to stick a sticker with quotes, but don't overdo it
Paste a large number of quotes will be difficult to read and make the laptop look claustrophobic. This also applies to stickers containing a slogan or a single word.
Method 8 of 9: Stick a sticker on the inside of the laptop to make it personal
Step 1. Stickers can be a very personal device
Maybe you don't want to show other people a sticker you like when you use your laptop in public. If you want privacy, stick the sticker on a flat surface on the side of the laptop's built-in mousepad.
It can also be used to cover the sticker that was on the laptop when you bought it
Method 9 of 9: Avoid sticking stickers on holes or vents
Step 1. It may be tempting to cover all parts of the laptop, but don't
If all the holes and vents are closed, the laptop will overheat and freeze. This can even happen if you put a thick sticker on a smooth laptop case because the sticker will become a barrier to airflow.
