Stickers?

[independence1776]

Hi! I'm Indy. I've only been regularly paper journalling for just about a year now.

I'm primarily a text journaler, but I usually use stickers to decorate my pages with. Sometimes, they're related to the entry and sometimes they're not. I used to keep my collection in the pocket at the back of my journal, but it grew so massive that I couldn't close my journal's flap. I'm currently keeping them in a folder, which has the constant danger of them falling out.

So I'm looking for advice on what to buy to put them in. A small plastic bin, an expanding file/13-pocket folder, or something else entirely?

I keep my main stash of stickers in a cigar box, but I often cut a few off of the strips and put them in the back pocket of my journal, so that I have some with me at all times.

The idea of having them in a multi-pocket folder, though... that makes sense, because I could organize them by theme.

Depending on the size of the sheets you've got, you could always get one of those photo boxes with the dividers to put them in. And that gives you the dividers to separate them out if you wish to [or make your own dividers].

I really love paper storage drawers, like these. They come covered in different colors and patterns of paper, the drawers are different sizes, and you can stack the units. They hold up surprisingly well, with care, keep things clean and dust-free, but accessible, and are attractive enough to display.

Yeah, organization's why I like the multi-pocket folder idea. But most of my stickers are in small sheets, so the size is a bit of an overkill. Hence my wondering what other people do. :)

Most of my stickers would probably fit, but there are always the odd ones out. I'll have to look into that, though, and see if I can find one large enough. Thank you!

Ooh… Now those are nice. Problem is finding room for them.

You could always try the photo box sideways, to accommodate longer sticker sheets? And that way, you could definitely make your own dividers for themes/styles/colors/etc.

I love things like this for various forms of storage. I need to actually get more organized with the ones I have [and possibly get more]. I'm just not using them currently, as I am living in 2 different places [in 2 different states, no less] for the current school year, so things are a bit jumbled.

I'll definitely try it out! Thank you. :)

[ariestess]

It's definitely an option...

I keep mine in a HUGE (and barely-closing) folder. I love stickers, I can't help it.

Hey, that's a cool idea! (especially for small sheets or bigger stickers. I like it!

[ariestess]

I like it for my stock at home. I actually use one for a lot of little things. Journaling cards, stickers, different pictures/images to put in my journals, smaller envelopes/pockets, ephemera, cards of washi samples, etc.

Um, this entry is six years old. I bought an accordian file shortly after I made this post and have it used it since.

I know :) But still relevant for beginners ;)
