Play around with positioning the stickers to find a balance you like. This is really important if you've got stickers that are of different sizes. To make a balanced aesthetic, lay a few large stickers on each side of the case before you unpeel the stickers. These make the background. Then, arrange smaller stickers around them to fill in the space. Once you're happy with the arrangement, peel the backs off the stickers and apply them.[4]
