7. Select what location which is what is your sticker classified as..Words, People, Annimation etc..in this case People
8. Next Box give your Item a name
9. Next Box..Here I normally add the HTML for My banner as well as the sticker..which I saved to a Photosharing locker (IMVU Mafias' gallery, Photobucket, etc) You can get the HTML code directly from there without having to do it yourself so just some Copy and pasting.
10. Next choose your rating. Make sure if you make it GA that all areas are covered per IMVU and if showing less then minimum Coverage mark it AP
11. Set your Price
12. Catalog Icon Image...Your Icon. You can make a quick Icon of your product by simply going into pain open the sticker and sizing it to 100 x 80 and renaming it. This will cause the new pic to loose it's transparency but no problem as it is just your product Icon. save it and then locate it and put it there. MAKE SURE TO RENAME IT OR YOU WILL SCREW UP YOUR STICKER
13. Next click on Sticker Image File and then select your actual Sticker file and put it there
14. Bundability... checkmark if you want to or not up to you basically
15. Keywords..Fill in one word per line to describe your Sticker you don't have to do alot unless you want to or you can leave it blank.

17. Submit...Click on it and off it goes to peer. Although it is in Peer you will automatically see it already in your sticker inventory and can place it on your page if you want to.
