Your Craft Room Questions Answered: Issue 4: Stickers

– by Erin Watne, Stamp-n-Storage

Themed projects like cards, scrapbook pages, and mixed media journals are all great places to use stickers. Stickers are fun to use, easy to apply, and a great way to add cohesive design elements to your paper crafts! The difficulty in storing and organizing stickers is finding places to keep them accessible and not buried in an unorganized pile. In this edition of Your Craft Room Questions Answered, we take a look at sticker storage options and how to find the right option for you.

Proper Sticker Storage

Storing your stickers properly is important for a few reasons. First, stickers can be damaged fairly easily. Storing your stickers correctly prevents unnecessary bending, fading, peeling, and tearing. A common issue when storing stickers is keeping them organized. It’s easy to just throw your stickers into a drawer or bin, but digging through the pile when you want to find something specific can prove to be challenging. Proper storage solutions will keep your stickers easily accessible, visible, and organized. Eliminating the wasted time you take rummaging through your sticker piles will enhance your creativity and crafting efficiency!

Take an Inventory

Before you store your stickers, take time to categorize them. You can organize them based on theme, color, size, season, or whatever makes sense to you. Also, be sure to keep an updated inventory of all of your stickers. This will help you see which stickers are used most often and which ones you should consider donating.

Organize with Pockets & Sleeves

When organizing your stickers, it is important to account for both individual stickers and sticker sheets or packs. Both types of stickers can be stored similarly, but the method you use might depend on which kind you have more of.

Paper Storage Pockets and Paper Sleeves can organize your small stickers up to 12x12 Sticker Sheets. They are clear, durable, and easy to label. Both Paper Storage Pockets and Sleeves are available in 8.5x11 and 12x12 sizes. 

Store your Pockets and Sleeves

Pockets and Sleeves can be neatly stored with compatible Stamp-n-Storage products, keeping your stickers organized and easy to access.

*Paper Pockets fit Standard Size Paper Holders only. They do not fit for IKEA Paper Holders.

Tip: You can even keep stickers together with paper that has similar colors or patterns.

Organize Stickers in Shallow Drawers

When it comes to organizing your stickers in drawers, the key is using shallow drawers. This keeps your stickers from getting buried under piles and allows you to label drawers so you can quickly find the sticker you need. The Stamp-n-Storage Drawer Cabinet offers 1" drawer heights when you choose the 10 Drawer option. Label your drawers by theme, occasion, or color.
