Hey everyone, I'm Madison, and I'm excited to share some crafty inspiration. If you're anything like me, you have a sizable sticker collection tucked away, waiting for that perfect place to be used. Well, the wait is over! Here are ten inventive ways to showcase your stickers.
1. Sticker-Bombed Wall Art:
Why not create a YouTube backdrop or a vibrant feature for your bedroom wall with stickers? However, to avoid the ire of your parents or landlords, a safer bet is to purchase a large poster board from a dollar store. Embellish it with your favorite stickers, frame it, and voilà—a personalized piece of art that's easy to hang and move around without causing damage.
2. Custom Bookmarks
Bookmarks are not only practical but also incredibly fun to make. Just take some cardstock and adorn it with your stickers. If you have access to a laminator, laminating your bookmarks will make them more durable. They're perfect for personal use or as thoughtful gifts.
3. Decorative Jars
Head over to your local dollar store and pick up a mason jar. Choose a standout sticker from your collection, apply it to the jar, and fill the jar with candy. It's a delightful addition to any bedside table and an excellent way to sweeten your decor.
4. Sticker Collages
Inspired by Four Bears Sticker Club's Instagram, create a sticker collage. Use a stencil to outline a design on cardstock, and fill it in with stickers. This technique can be used to spell out names or create shapes, making it a fantastic, framed addition to a child's bedroom or your own creative space.
5. Customized Tumblers
For the Schitt's Creek fans, why not personalize a tumbler by covering it with themed stickers? It's important to note that these should be hand-washed to preserve the design—perfect for sipping your favorite beverage in style.
6. Transformed Planners
Give your Happy Planner—or any planner, really—a facelift with stickers that speak to you. It's a simple way to turn an everyday item into a cheerful companion for your daily tasks.
7. Artistic Coasters
A Wish haul can provide a treasure trove of unique stickers perfect for transforming plain coasters. After application, seal them with Mod Podge for a durable and personalized touch. Attaching Velcro on the bottom can make them non-slip as well.
8. Sticker Bombed Boxes
Despite the name, "sticker bombing" can be a creative and orderly process. Take a plain wooden box and meticulously cover it with stickers that match your aesthetic. These boxes can become stylish organizational tools or keepsake containers.
9. Recipe Box Makeover
Even if you're not a culinary expert, a revamped recipe box painted and adorned with stickers can be a beautiful addition to your kitchen or a thoughtful gift for someone who is a whiz in the kitchen, like a pastry chef.
10. Disney Serving Tray or Wall Art
For a subtle nod to Disney that's more artful than overt, consider decorating a serving tray with an assortment of Disney Lorcana stickers and sealing it with resin. This versatile piece can serve as functional tableware or a unique piece of wall art.
