✨ What You’ll Need​

Gather a few simple materials.
Each one can become an instrument of prayer.

  • Printer: Any inkjet or laser printer (set to “Best” or “Photo” quality)
  • Sticker Paper: Full-sheet paper (matte, glossy, or waterproof)
  • Scissors or Craft Knife: Choose what feels comfortable and controlled
  • Optional: Clear spray sealer or masking tape for protection, cutting mat, circle punch, or paper trimmer

Supplies are easy to find at craft stores or online (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Staples, Amazon).

🪶 Step 1: Print​

  1. Visit the Sticker Collection and choose designs that speak to your heart—seasonal devotions, saints, Scripture, or Marian themes.
  2. Download the PDF or PNG files and save them locally.
  3. Print on full-sheet sticker paper using your best print settings (Actual Size, “Best” or “Photo” quality).
  4. Allow ink to dry fully before handling.
warning

Never use inkjet-only sticker paper in a laser printer. The heat can damage your printer.

🙏 Step 2: Pray While You Create​

This is the heart of PrintPrayPeel—the “Pray” in the middle of every action.

Set aside a quiet moment. Light a candle, take a breath, and let your workspace become a small chapel of peace.
As you cut, trace, or trim, let each movement become a rhythm of prayer.

Each sticker page includes suggested prayers that connect to its theme.
You can pray those words or simply speak to God in your own.

🌸 Step 3: Peel and Share​

When your stickers are ready, peel and place them wherever daily life unfolds—on your journal, water bottle, laptop, phone case, guitar, planner, or luggage.

Each small image becomes a quiet testimony of faith in the ordinary places you go.

By displaying a sticker on your own belongings, you create small moments of evangelization. Someone passing by in an office, classroom, café, or airport might notice a prayer, a saint, or a symbol—and pause to think of God, even if only for a moment.
In a busy world, these gentle reminders of truth and beauty can open hearts in ways words sometimes cannot.

You can also share stickers as gifts: tuck one into a handwritten note, include them with greeting cards, or give a full sheet to a friend or family member. Each sticker carries the intention you prayed for and continues that prayer wherever it travels.

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”
— Matthew 5:16 (NABRE)

💡 Tips for a Peaceful Craft Space​

  • Handle materials gently and mindfully.
  • Work in good light to avoid fatigue.
  • Protect inkjet prints with clear tape or a light coat of sealer.
  • Keep a prayerful atmosphere: play sacred music or work in silence.
  • If distracted, pause for a breath or a brief prayer.

🌿 Continue the Journey​

Keep the spirit of prayer alive in your daily life:

Each sticker you make and share becomes a small act of evangelization—an art of prayer in motion.

“Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
— Colossians 3:17 (NABRE)
