41 creative & fun things to do with stickers

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what to do with stickers, you're not alone. Maybe you've built up a full sticker collection, or you're holding on to just a few decorative pieces from a recent event. Either way, you’re likely looking for a few fresh ideas that go beyond the usual.

The good news? There’s no one right way to use stickers. Whether you're into journalling, crafting, or simply love to personalise your stuff, stickers offer endless possibilities for creativity and self-expression. In this blog article, you'll find inspiration for all ages, from kids to serious collectors, and maybe even a few uncommon uses you haven’t tried yet.

1. Make everyday things more you

This is where most people start, taking those favourite designs and using them to transform the things they touch every day. A sticker-covered laptop doesn’t just protect your tech. It turns it into a conversation piece.

 Water bottles, phone cases, skateboards, guitar cases, helmets, suitcases, and even car bumpers are perfect surfaces for adding personality. Stickers can also add flair to folders, planners, or the cover of your favourite notebook. Try decorating your bike frame or scooter handlebars for a fun, mobile way to show off your style.

Plus, stickered items are easier to identify. Misplaced your water bottle again? One bright sticker makes it easy to spot and hard to lose.

2. Show them off without sticking them down

Not ready to commit? That’s totally fine. Some sticker fans hold onto their collection like treasured trading cards, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Try displaying your sticker collection in creative ways that don’t require adhesive. Use clear folders, paper albums, or trading card sleeves to make a flip-through gallery. Mount your favourites on cardboard or foam core and frame them as DIY wall art. You can also use adhesive magnet sheets to create swappable displays on the fridge or locker.

Clipboards and dry-erase boards are another great choice. Stickers around the borders can brighten up your workspace without altering anything permanently.

It’s a great idea for renters, perfectionists, or those who simply want to see their collection grow before making it permanent.

3. Get crafty with leftovers

When you're down to your last few pieces, or holding onto designs that don’t match your vibe, it's time to have fun.

Use stickers to create puzzles, decorate bookmarks, or embellish trays, mirrors, and tech accessories. You can even design your own decorative skis or snowboard with layered stickers for a one-of-a-kind look. Wrap gift boxes, label folders, or add them to scrapbooks for memory-making and organisation.

Need a creative project for kids? Let them make sticker stories, dress up recycled materials, or decorate their school supplies. You can also create custom greeting cards using stickers on the front, inside, or even the envelope for a thoughtful finishing touch.

This kind of creative play is perfect for clearing out leftovers while still making something meaningful.

4. Build something with meaning

This is where your sticker collection becomes something more. Use your stickers to tell stories, capture memories, or reflect your mood.

Create memory boards filled with travel mementoes, decorate journals based on emotions or playlists, or group stickers by category like quotes, places, or fandoms. You'll be surprised how easily you can express yourself with a few small pieces of paper and some thoughtful design.

If you keep a travel journal or planner, stickers from destinations you’ve visited or dream of going can add visual energy to your itinerary. These kinds of projects are loaded with inspiration and work for all ages. Whether you're curating an aesthetic or just enjoying the process, you're also giving recognition to the moments that matter.

5. Use stickers for promotion

If you run a small business or side hustle, stickers can do more than just decorate. They can promote.

Slip one into a package, brand your product packaging, or use them for event giveaways. Add stickers to tissue wrap, product tags, or as branded seals to elevate the unboxing experience. Use them on business cards or thank-you notes to add a memorable, creative touch.

Stickers help customers remember you. They travel, they’re shareable, and they stick with people—literally.

Artists and designers can also use stickers as an easy way to share their work. Not everyone will buy a framed print, but a sticker is a quick, low-cost way for people to support your style.

Looking to get started? Try Sticker it's custom sticker sheets and design a few that show off your aesthetic.

Final tips

Whether you're new to stickers or have a drawer full of unused favourites, it's okay to take your time. But don’t forget—you have permission to enjoy them.

Use them to decorate, to remember, to create, to add a little something special to everyday life. If you're stuck, Sticker it is here to help you bring your vision to life easily, creatively, and with no pressure.
