Equipment
I use a store bought Speedball printmaking set, from the Pearl Art Store, for around 40 bucks. Micheals has them too for 30ish! The set comes with 2 screens, drawing fluid, screen filler and basic color inks. You can buy more colors that are more permanent too. Also get a load of stickers (from post office, dhl, etc)
Step 1: Figure out your design
Get you design all finished up and happy with it.
Step 2: Drawing Fluid
With the drawing fluid, trace over the stuff you want to be inked. Make sure nothing is too light and see through. Let dry until not tacky
Step 3: Screen Filler
With the screen filler, cover over the image but not too thick. Let dry!
Step 4: Water Rinse
Run under cool water and magically the blue is all gone, leaving an image to print. Let dry.
Note: the edges might be a little fuzzy, if so with your screen filler, touch them up.
Step 5: Wax Paper
I use wax paper around the image to block out ink from getting over the work area. I then line up the screen image to where I want it on the sticker and make a border so it is easy to print quickly and in the same place.
Step 6: Ink & Squeegee
Apply a few spoonfuls of ink to the screen and with your squeegee slowly pull the ink towards you. 1 or 2 pulls is enough to cover the sticker and never pull from a different direction, it could smear the ink.
Step 7: Remove the Screen
after you apply the ink and pulled, lift the screen and tad-a, sticker!!! 
Step 8: Repeat
repeat step 6 and 7 over and over and over
Step 9: Cleanup
when all done, wash everything, let dry. to remove the red screen filler use 'comet' cleaner!
So i hope that is somewhat helpful. In about 3 hours you got yourself as many sticks as you want. Yes, you can get them made professionally with computers, but you save a few hundred bucks and you feel great because its almost as good as hand drawing them all!
i liked these green postal ones a lot, and made 124 of them tonight.
