Event Description

A Hands-On Sticker and Magnet Making Workshop

Ever wanted to turn your art, ideas, or doodles into real, high-quality stickers and magnets? This sticker and magnet workshop will show you how to bring any idea to life step-by-step right inside our idea forge creators space.

In this sticker and magnet making workshop, we’ll guide you through the entire process from your first design concept to printing, cutting, and creating a finished product you can proudly take home. Whether you’re a total beginner or a crafty enthusiast looking to learn more, this session is packed with tools, techniques, and takeaways for all experience levels.

What You’ll Learn:

Design Basics:

Start with an image, logo, phrase, or sketch, yours or one we provide, and learn how to prepare it for printing and cutting. We’ll cover tools like GIMP and Photoshop, with step-by-step process on proper sizing, spacing, layout, and file setup so your design cuts clean and looks professional. We can even sneak in a little way to use Canva to get the job done too.

Materials Matter:

Learn the difference between glossy, matte, and waterproof vinyl; clear vs. white base materials; and how to choose the right magnet thickness and backing for your project. You’ll get to explore lamination options, including holographic finishes, and explore both manual and roller-based lamination techniques.

Cut It Your Way:

We’ll show you how to use both the Cricut and Brother ScanNCut machines and how to troubleshoot common issues. Want to go analog? We’ll also cover how to cut by hand effectively, so you leave with the skills to continue at home, even without fancy tools.

Take It Home:

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created your own set of custom stickers and magnets, completely designed, printed, laminated, and cut by YOU.

Who Should Attend:

Artists, crafters, and DIY lovers

Students, educators, and youth leaders

Anyone curious about turning digital ideas into physical products

Small business owners interested in merchandise and branding

No prior experience required. All materials, tools, and guidance are included. Just bring your creativity, we’ll take care of the rest.

Furthermore, I hereby agree to release and discharge PI, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative, and estate as follows: 

  1. I acknowledge that the Project Imo programs entail various optional outdoor adventure based recreational activities such as, but not limited to: canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, backpacking, caving, ropes courses, mountain biking, hiking, and snow skiing/boarding. These activities entail known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risk simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. If I do decide to participate in such optional activities, such decision is mine alone and I assume all risks associated with such optional activity, and Project Imo shall not have any liability for any injury, death, loss, damage, expense, delay or inconvenience suffered by me arising out of such participation, except to the extent such injury, damage, loss, expense, delay or inconvenience is caused solely by willful misconduct of Project Imo.

    All activities are supervised throughout the program. Instruction will be provided regarding the safe use of all equipment and activities. Participants are advised to point out hazardous situations to the facilitators. 

     

    “I hereby take full responsibility for these risks and understand that other risks may also exist. I take full responsibility for those risks.”

  1. “I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Project Imo from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of PI’s equipment or facilities.”

 

  1. Should Project Imo or anyone acting on their behalf be required to incur attorney’s fees and cost to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

 

  1. I have read and fully understand the trip description and registration form, medical contact form, and any other materials provided by Project Imo regarding the trip. I have had the opportunity to ask any questions that I may have about the trip and related activities and the responsibilities and risk involved. All of my questions have been fully answered.

 

  1. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the cost of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical conditions, which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume, and bear the cost of, all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by such condition.

I AM ALSO AWARE THAT MANY RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES CAN BE HAZARDOUS. I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN SUCH ACTIVITIES, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I AGREE TO ACCEPT ALL RISKS OF INJURY OR LOSS OF ANY KIND ASSOCIATED WITH OR RESULTING FROM SUCH ACTIVITY.
 

I, for myself, legal representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby release, waive and discharge Project Imo, its officers, employees, directors, shareholders and its parent and affiliated companies (“Releasees”), from all liability to me, legal representatives, heirs and assigns, for any and all loss or damage, and any claims or damages resulting therefrom, on account of injury to my person or property, even injury resulting in my death, while I am participating in said activity and/or being transported to or from said event, unless such loss is caused solely by the willful misconduct of a Releasee. 

Medical Disclosure:  I neither know of nor have any reason to believe that I have any medical condition and certify that I am not taking any prescription or non-prescription drugs that could either result in injury to me or others if I participate in any activity during the Project Imo program, become excited, agitated or anxious, assist in rescue situations, provide emergency care, receive emergency care or other first aid (i.e., due to an infectious disease, diabetes or other condition) or otherwise adversely affect my ability to participate in this event.  

I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against Project Imo on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. 

I hereby grant to Project Imo all rights necessary to enable Project Imo to use, reproduce, assign, and/or distribute, in all forms and in any media, my image and/or photograph or video, and any such other items related to my use of the Project Imo programs and events for promotion and/or education purposes.

PARTICIPATION

  • Project Imo hiking programs are an adventure. Come prepared with an attitude and an appetite for the exciting, the new, the ambiguous, and the profound. Leave your troubles behind, open your mind, and get ready for a great experience.
  • Group hiking is a cooperative experience. Pace and trail etiquette are discussed at the onset of the program. If the Project Imo facilitators need to adapt the pace to ensure everyone is included and can safely participate, everyone on the program must follow directions for safety.
  • We use the model “Challenge of Choice.” You are not required to do anything if you feel it poses unreasonable physical or psychological stress to you; you will be challenged to go beyond your comfort zone and to take new risks.
  • Because of safety risks inherent in an adventure program, you must follow the directions of the facilitators.


TRAIL READINESS & ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY

  • All participants in Project Imo, Inc. sponsored hikes must be able to complete the following requirements WITHOUT ASSISTANCE or WITH ASSISTANCE FROM A TRAINED, 1-on-1 AID,

Trail Specific Information

TRAIL ETTIQUITTE

  • Pace- Project Imo trip leaders will work to ensure that the person in the lead of the trail line does not carry a pace where they spend time waiting for the group to catch up, and the person at the end of the line never gets a rest. We will hike as a group.
  • Leave No Trace- all Project Imo programs follow Leave No Trace principals. Our staff will cover the basics of these critical practices before we hit the trail.
  • Project Imo hiking participants must be able to work together in a cooperative manner to ensure safe and successful exploration of our greenspaces. This may include problem solving and flexibility to adapt to changing natural environments


INSECT-BORNE ILLNESS

Mosquitos and ticks are vector species for infectious bloodborne diseases. Both can transmit potentially serious viruses through bites. There are two main ways to reduce the risk of infectious bites. Ticks live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas. . Many species of mosquitos live in forests, marshes, and tall grasses. All species of mosquitos like water.

  • PROTECTION – We recommend placing a barrier between exposed skin and potential bites. This can include a combination of bug repellent sprays and clothing. Long pants and sleeves when travelling in tall grasses and underbrush are recommended, as are close-toed shoes and socks. The Centers for Disease Control recommend bug sprays containing EPA-registered insect repellents and treating clothing and gear with 0.5% permethrin. (but do not use directly on skin). Insect-barrier nets that cover your head are recommended when mosquitos are prevalent.

  • BEHAVIORS – Walk to the center of trails if at all possible. If your travels take you through brush or tall grass, conduct a tick-check. Check your clothing for ticks, shower after you return home, and on extended time outdoors, check your body for ticks. Conduct a full body check including under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, back of the knees, between the legs, and around the waist. Avoid standing water to reduce interactions with mosquitos.
