Creating a custom sticker on Snapchat, step by step
Open Snapchat and pick a photo
The image icon, to the right of the photo button, opens your gallery. Open "Snapchat". Take a photo, or tap the "image" icon to the right of the white button to pick a photo from your gallery, in the "Camera Roll" tab.
Open the photo's options
The down arrow expands all the photo's editing tools. Once the photo is open, tap the "downward-pointing arrow" on the right side of the screen to show all the editing options.
Tap the "scissors" tool
The scissors tool opens "Create Sticker" mode. In the options, scroll down to the "scissors" icon and tap it. "Create Sticker" appears at the top of the screen.
Cut it out, then finish
Once cut out, the sticker is ready to stick on your snaps. Trace the outline of the element you want to cut out (freehand, as a "rectangle" or an "ellipse"), then tap "Done". Your custom sticker is created.
Good to know
Your sticker appears on the photo: you can move it, resize it or rotate it with two fingers, then send it or save it.
