Holly in FL Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Does anyone have a Xyron Sticker Maker? Would you share any pros or cons? My purpose for getting one would be solely for sticker-making-fun for my girls. Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 :bigear: I've been thinking about getting one, hoping others will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowimscrappin Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Are you talking about the Xyron X (150) or one of the other "adhesive" type things? If so, I have a couple. The largest one I have actually will take full sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and put adhesive on the back, but I also have a laminating cartridge and a magnet cartridge - I use those more than the adhesive on the large one. But, when I scrapbook, especially when I have little pieces of paper elements for a scrapbooking page, I use the Xyron to get adhesive on the back before putting it on the page. Works better than other adhesives especially for small pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowimscrappin Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah, I like them a lot. The X wasn't my favorite - I didn't like how it did the oversheet as much as others. They have changed the names, from looking at their web site. I have the 2 1/2" one and I like it a lot for smaller items. I also have the 9" Creative Station and I use it for full size sheets that I need stickers, and a lot for laminating. I think for homeschooling I use the laminating the most.

sassyscrapperinid Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have these and like them quite a bit. If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have the little X one, and the 5" inch one. I love them both. The little one is great to make letters that I've cut on the Cricut into stickers. The larger one is great for making vellum quotes into stickers. I also use the larger one for small laminating jobs and to make magnets. Love the Xyron products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have the little purple hand-cranked one, and I used it to put sticky on the backs of timeline figures, as well as just making little stickers for fun. It was pretty cheap on sale at a teacher store, and I got a refill cheaply, too--the first one lasted most of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have a little handcranked one too and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm glad you stared this thread. DD7 wants a sticker maker for Christmas. Would she be able to operate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have the little "X" one and the hand-cranked 2.5" (I think?) one. The kids and I love them, especially for putting timeline figures in our books. Ds runs anything that will fit and needs to be sticky through it because he loathes glue, tape, and anything that might leave residue on his hands (it's a sensory thing). Dd just likes to make stickers, and I have to rein her in a little so she doesn't just waste the cartriges. Either of these could definitely be used by a 7yo, though I think the one with the crank is a little easier for little hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm glad you stared this thread. DD7 wants a sticker maker for Christmas. Would she be able to operate this? I'm certain your dd would love it! My dd has been "scrapbooking" with me since she was 5, and knows how to use both the "X" and the "granddaddy" (as we like to call the full-sheet model!) We save the Jo-Ann and AC Moore weekly coupons for refills, which can get a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have the little X sticker maker. Thank you for reminding me! I think it's time for my kids to have some fun using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
