Your sticker will then appear as a standalone and get saved in the scissors section, and you can use it when sending snaps.
This guide explains what Snapchat stickers are, how to use them, and how to create and use a custom sticker on Snapchat. We will give a step-by-step guide, ensuring you follow along and end up with a custom sticker.
What Are Snapchat Stickers?
Snapchat has millions of daily users, and brands and businesses have begun tapping into this vast customer base. The good thing with Snapchat is that you have various ways of creating fun when snapping with friends, including using multiple filters.
Snapchat stickers are images in the form of emojis, GIFs, Bitmoji, etc., that you can add when sharing snaps with friends or your Snapchat story. Stickers are a fun way of expressing yourself, and when someone sees a sticker that you’ve used, they can relate it to your creativity, personality, and thoughts.
How To Make a Snapchat Sticker
There is no harm in getting creative and creating your own Snapchat sticker. The good news is that Snapchat allows users to create and use stickers. Have you ever tried creating a custom Snapchat sticker? Here’s how to go about it.
- Open your Snapchat app.
- Capture a snap.
- Once you have a snap that you want to use to create the sticker, click the scissors icon on the right.
- Outline the area that you want to use as a sticker.
- Once you have your outline, you can release your finger from the screen.
- Your custom sticker should stand alone, tap Done, and it gets saved under the scissors tab on the stickers section.
With your custom sticker created, you can use it like any other on Snapchat. Let’s create a snap and use the sticker we’ve created with the above steps.
- Open your Snapchat app.
- Create a snap that you want to share.
- On the edit page, click on the sticker icon on the right.
- On the sticker’s page, click the scissors tab at the top.

- With your sticker added, you can click the Send option and send it to your friends or share the snap on your Story.
How To Share Custom Snapchat Stickers in a Message
