The easiest way to create stickers on Telegram is to simply upload them using the @stickers bot. This bot can help you upload new stickers, create sticker packs and get usage stats for your stickers and packs.
Telegram also offers a platform for developers of apps that help users make their own stickers. For example, apps that allow people to upload pictures of themselves and turn them into stickers.
