You've Been Saving Those Stickers Long Enough
If you're anything like us, you probably have a drawer, box, or envelope filled with stickers you've collected over the years.
A sticker from your favorite coffee shop.
A national park you visited.
The band you saw five summers ago.
The logo from your favorite snowboard company.
They're all waiting for the "perfect place."
The problem? That perfect place never seems to come. And now you have a big ziplock bag full of stickers that goes with you to every new home, apartment, or big move.
If you've been saving your favorite stickers because you can't quite commit to sticking them anywhere permanent, you're definitely not alone. Here are a few fun ways to finally enjoy your collection, without regret.
1. Sticker Bomb a Coffee Table
One of our favorite ways to use a large sticker collection is by turning an old coffee table into a work of art.
Cover the tabletop with stickers that represent your hobbies, favorite brands, concerts, vacations, or adventures, then seal everything with a clear epoxy resin.
Epoxy resin is easy to use and creates a glass-like, smooth 3D surface over your stickers. It protects your stickers while giving your project a clean, professional finish once it cures. You can find epoxy resin at most local craft or hardware stores.
The finished piece becomes more than just furniture—it becomes a collage of memories and a conversation starter every time someone visits your home.
It's also a great way to give an old thrift store find a second life.
2. Start a Reusable Sticker Book
Still can't decide where your stickers belong?
You don't have to.
Reusable sticker books are designed with silicone-coated pages that let you peel stickers off and rearrange them whenever you want.
Think of it as a scrapbook for your sticker collection.
Organize them by travel, favorite artists, breweries, national parks, or whatever makes you smile. Plus, you'll always know where your favorite stickers are instead of discovering them years later in a random kitchen drawer.
Sticker books can be purchased easily online. We recommend browsing reviews on TikTok or Instagram to find one that best fits your needs before purchasing.
3. Turn Your Stickers into Magnets
This one is for all the sticker commitment-phobes.
Instead of sticking your favorite designs to your laptop or water bottle, turn them into magnets.
Simply grab a pack of adhesive magnetic sheets, stick them to the backing of your sticker, trim around the edges, and you're done.
Now you can move your stickers between your refrigerator, toolbox, filing cabinet, or magnetic whiteboard whenever you want.
No commitment required.
4. Create Framed Sticker Art
Your sticker collection already tells a story—why not frame it?
Arrange your stickers into a collage inside a floating frame for an easy piece of wall art.
You can create a travel-themed display, organize stickers by color, build a geometric pattern, or even make a mandala using smaller designs.
Not ready to permanently stick everything down?
Use small pieces of double-sided tape instead. You can always rearrange your layout later.
5. Start Junk Journaling
Instead of hiding your sticker collection inside a plain cardboard box, make use of them in a junk journal!
"At its core, a junk journal is a handmade book created using recycled, repurposed, or secondhand materials."
— Margaret Miller
Junk journaling has been taking the internet by storm over the past few years. It's similar to scrapbooking but with less structure and a lot more creative freedom. Stickers are the perfect addition to every page.
Junk journals are a fun way to finally use that bag or drawer full of stickers you've been saving. They combine the nostalgia of scrapbooking with the creative flow of journaling and the freedom of filling a sketchbook however you'd like.
Are You Ready to Use Your Sticker Collection?
Life's too short to let your favorite stickers sit forgotten in a drawer.
Whether you turn them into magnets, create a piece of artwork, or finally cover that old coffee table you've been meaning to refinish, there are plenty of creative ways to enjoy the stickers you've collected over the years.
Who knows? You might even make room for a few new favorites.
