How to Use Your Stickers More: Make Them Seen, Loved, and Used!

We need to talk about something serious...
Your stickers.

You know the ones: carefully hoarded and lovingly collected, but rarely—if ever—used. You’re not alone. We all have That One Sheet of special stickers we’re “saving for something good.” Don't let your favourite stickers go to waste - let them shine! 

Here’s how to actually start using your stickers more, make them more visible, and stop saving them for a moment that may never come. 

💡 Step 1: Make Your Stickers More Visible

You can’t use what you can’t see! Start by organising your stickers so they’re easy to find and flip through.

• Sticker Storage Folders: These are a game-changer. A dedicated sticker album with clear pockets or a refillable binder, will keep your stickers flat, organised by theme, and easily browsable. Reduce the “out of sight, out of mind” trap and make your stickers easy to access. 

• Use-Up Sheets: For those sad little leftover stickers on half-used sheets, peel them off and place them on a fresh sticker paper backing. This makes it easier to use the last few stragglers without dealing with torn sheets or losing them in a drawer abyss.

🧠 Step 2: Break the Hoarding Habit With These Mindset Shifts

• Use one “special” sticker every week—no exceptions. Make it a ritual!

• Tell yourself: “I can always get more stickers.” (Because… you can. You always will.)
  

• That sticker isn’t doing anything trapped in its plastic sleeve. But when you use it—on a letter to a friend, in your travel journal, or even on a note to yourself—you’re turning it into a memory and giving it a purpose. 

Step 3: Challenge yourself to use your stickers!
