Depends on the product. Basically, you need to find out which of the
"directives" apply to your product. Some of the directives allow
self-certification. 

If no directive applies, you don't need a CE sticker.

If some do, and all allow self-certification, you may do just that. This is
basically the "stick a sticker" route (of course after having ensured that
the product is engineered and produced so that it fulfills the requirements
imposed by the directives). 

If a directive applies that doesn't allow self-certification, you must ship
your product to a lab that certifies it for you. I assume that this then
needs to be repeated for all changes to the product.
