Print a variety of sticker sheets using mailing labels and a colour printer. It's easy and a great way to encourage your students. They will love it.
  
This is for "A4" size paper. If you are using "Letter" size paper used in North America, click here.
    

You'll need:
       - A4 size mailing label sheet (21 labels)
               AVERY L7160 for a laser printer, or equivalent
       - Colour printer (you can print in black and white but they won't look as nice as in colour.)
  
1. Click on the kind/picture you like and download the file. There are two versions for each kind/picture.
   
       - If you don't have the Kyokashotai font on your computer, please choose Gothic font.
       - If you have Kyokashotai font on your computer, you can choose either Kyokashotai or Gothic.
       - When the "File Download" dialogue box appears, it's probably better to choose "Save" (second from the left).
         Don't forget to choose the right folder so that you don't lose the file.
       - It might take a few minutes to download each file for those who are using dial-up access.
   
2. Open the file and make sure the Japanese words and pictures appear correctly.
   
       - There should be 42 sets of a picture and Japanese word(s) on each sheet.
       - If you chose the Kyokashotai font, high-light the entire page (press "Ctrl" key and "A" key at the same time),
         click on the font scroll-down menu and click on "TMotoya".
       - Compare the word(s) in the sheet with the one below. Make sure all the hiragana are appearing in 
         each set. If not, make suitable adjustments.
       - You might also want to print a test sheet on normal paper using a black and white printer to make sure each
         set fits in the designated area by placing it next to and comparing it with a mail label sheet.
       - Each file has a blank second page. For some reason, I cannot delete it. 
   
3.  Print the file. 
   
       - In order to avoid wasting label sheets, it is recommended that you print one sheet at a time manually feeding
         the sheet. Change the paper selection setting to "Manual feed" in the "Print" dialogue box.
       - Before you press the "Print" button, make sure to enter page number, which is 1.
         If you forget this, the printer will keep waiting for you to feed it another sheet for the blank second page.
   
4.  Cut the sheet into 6 vertical rows. This way each label makes 2 stickers and you'll have 42 stickers altogether.
   
     *  You can change the colour of the words or words itself or both if you like. 
   
     *  You can also change the pictures. How? Go to the "Links" page and check out some free clipart webpages.  
       

                 Click on one of the pictures to download the sticker file. If you don't have "Kyokashotai" font
                 on you computer, choose from "Gothic" font column.
