I know it’s a ton of work but I love when people put all their stickers into an album! Not the ones with the pockets but where they are actually repositionable and there is that sleeve overtop. Then you can organize all the loose sheet stickers into proper groupings!
Jennifer McGuire did an album for her words and sentiments. An old style album with the top sheet. So she can see what she has, get to it easily, change things. With flat stickers, I think that would work nice. But the thick ones, what to do with them? I struggle big time!! Right now, I have mine in those photo boxes from Michaels. On their sides. Not good, I never want to look thru them.
I sort them and then I make a hole, put a ring through them and hang it the same way you do with your stencils. It would be fun if maybe once a week you challenge yourself and use them in a project.
My initial thought is to give yourself a XX-day challenge to use your loose sticker stash up. So pick a sheet as an inspiration jumping off point and create a speed around that. Or use a sticker off of each sheet as a common theme in your patron custom spreads. Make a game out of it to hide it in the spread somehow!! So the plan would be to use the stash up asap and don’t ‘intentionally’ replace it…so that the problem eventually goes away.
Organize in a bin and categorize by seasons and or events and take out of drawer when season arrive. Then keep the most used ones like example birthdays out in a bin on top of counters. Also try to get rid of those you know you will not use. Good luck! ❤❤❤
Good morning Elisa. Thank u 4 sharing your issue with organizing your stickers. I noticed that u have some loose sticker sheets that looks like u have the equivalent of 1/2 or less of stickers on their original sheet. When I get sheets of stickers down that far I will put all of the stickers on the top half or bottom half of sheet & cut it in half. I store my stickers in sticker holders that I got years ago when I started scrapbooking 20 years ago. The stickers u know u won't use let your kids have. They can use them 4 decorating notebooks 4 school. If they cover their textbooks with brown paper bags 2 help protect them. They can decorate those as well. Let your kids decorate some pictures of their own in scrapbooks. What they don't want donate them 2 your local schools, art teachers would probably love them, or after school programs, or your church childrens ministry, local nursing homes, veterans home, children's hospitals. U can also put some in a basket 4 a child who is doing chemo or radiation treatments (or anyone in chemo or radiation treatments). These r some ideas that r coming 2 mind. Have a great, blessed day.
I recently organized some of my smaller stickers and used a happy planner sticker storage book. So, hopefully I'm inspired to use those loose stickers. I also made an extra disc bound book with my extra planner discs to store more stickers.
I think i would get a binder with sheet protectors to put in and then categorize the stickers. Place each category of sticker sheets in a protector, and using dividers, you will have a binder full of easy to find stickers ⚾️
I did this with an A5 mini Avery binder and a pack of sheet protectors that fit in it. I also break down the hp sticker books and put them in either little containers or zip lock baggies. 😁
I have mine in very shallow plastic drawers which are removable sorted by category such as labels, floral, summer, school. Drawer is a hot mess, but I can pull out that specific drawer, dig around when I need that theme. I don't sort them by puffy vs thicker vs flat. They are all together. Good luck!
I use a greeting card organizer for my loose sticker pages and put all sizes in the different categories. I will bring them out once a month to do a spread. I also have a reposition sticker book that is full of stickers that will bring out when I am needing a little something and dont know what it is. I usually can it in there. So they won't get forgotten. Lol
I was a Yeoman in the Navy for many years . I'm choosing catagories. People, animals, buildings alphabets, numbers, holidays etc. Then using sticker books, according files, and clear files (put lables) on every thing. "Another thing we get too many of" . the ones that I get in my patron packages I keep as sets. Zip lock bags are good for those random stickers . do you still have one of those spinning things wit!h all the clips that were all the rage you can clip the bagies from the rings to keep them in sight on your desktop. We are creative do what works for you.
Target has a clear box that has two sides that you can store your stickers up right so you can flip through them. I also have a smaller one for desk top. I would pull all the half used ones so you can finish them or mail out happy mail. I seperate my planner books from the rest. You can pre make ephemera with your stickers. Destash your stickers if necessary. I never destash lol because i havent used anything yet just setting up my craft room
Here's an idea.......send me all the stuff you declutter! LOL!! I am just beginning with stickers in my planner, so I don't have a lot of options to choose from.
I took a box not too deep but with lid and I took zipplock bags to group things in themes. As I was mostly dealing with 'kids stickers" I have a bag that is Tinkerbell and Disney fairies, another that is Disney Princesses, Old Disney movies, Pixar, Disney Channel cartoons shows, Disney Channel shows, other cartoon movies, tsum tsums, vintage looking stickers and so on. I also took one box from the wet swiffers and cleaned it to put my vinyl stickers classified in baggies too. I try to at least make some type of kit so it's easier to use.
I separated my sticker book sheets and sticker sheets into themes ie alphas, animals, decorative journal blocks, icons, food/drink, small words, titled journal blocks, sports , botanicals,etc. Then I punched holes in top center if needed and organized sheets by size smallest to largest and put a binder ring on them. If there were only a few stickers on a sheet, I put them on a different fuller sheet with some openings on it. To ensure it would stick on the new sheet, I put clear packing tape on the new sheet and transferred the sticker on top of the packaging tape. If I wanted to remember the name of the brand of stickers, I wrote it on the back of the sticker sheets. I don’t normally search for stickers by brand but by theme so this helps me quickly locate specific items. I use the front of a sticker book, turned around, so the plain side is facing out, for the front cover. I use the back of a sticker book for the back cover and use the attached band to hold it closed. I then retitle my new sticker packs. For sticker sheets that don’t easily fit in this system, I have them in my sticker/ephemera 12x12 file drawer. This took me a long time to organize but I find I now know my supplies, can find what I want quickly, and it takes up considerably less space in my craft room.
I put my stickers by subject and size. Put a devider between. Each subject. But use what you have stared using. Dont open anything else until you finish what's open. Go on a spending freeze until feel like you are using what you have.
Maybe you make an inventory list/ index and assign a number to each category and keep it in a mini notebook. Create a title for each numbered category and then label the bins with that number. When you are looking for ideas you can look at your index and go to that numbered bin.
So my suggestion might not be a popular one and hopefully I can articulate it clearly. The suggestion I have involves breaking up the stickers sheets based on the individual sticker by theme, shape, or some other type of category. Once broken up, I was thinking of attaching them all on a 12x12 sheet of paper with the sticker release paper still on them. This way the sticker will still peel off when I want to use it. Once on the 12x12 paper, I put the 12x12 paper into an LP album sleeve. Then I would use blank adhesive labels from Staples to label the LP sleeve whatever category is in the sleeve. The reason I am suggesting this is because of the way I scrapbook. Usually, I am looking for certain categories of stickers like hearts or stars. Some sticker sheets have a wide range of themes within them. I find it hard to use up entire sticker sheets. My suggestion will take a significant amount of time to do but I think it will allow me to use them because I hardly ever use them because of the lack of good storage solutions. This may be tough for you to do because you make UA-cam videos and you probably need to know what brand you are using for videos. My potential method will make it hard to see what brands the stickers are. I personally don't care which brand is which. I just want to use up my stickers. I look forward to see what you and others come up with.
I use a combination of smaller 3 ring binders and plastic containers that I find at the doller tree. The binders came from a thrift shop. I also use to have something called a sticker stadium that I am concodering repurchaseimg at some point as I got rid of mine a long time ago and regreat it but you could use any desktop orgnizer that has large slots to place stickers on and have it out on your counter and swop the stickers out for various seasons or time of the year . Just a sugestion.
I have a book where i glue my sticker sheets in and i love to look for the right ones in there. Maybe that would be an idea for you. I do not have as many as you but you could try and sort with themes and than see how it goes😊
I made a sticker album, using pages once empty from sticker books using extras disc and created a cover. I also purchased a sticker storage system from Mojo jojo, and Planner Kate that are working well for me
Perfect timing on this video because this is exactly what I had planned to deal with today! My sticker sheets are just lumped into a basket lol. Nothing has worked for me either.
I categorise all my sticker first & then write categoriies on blank sticker & put lose & smaller sticker sheets in plastic 4 x 6 photo boxes & category stick on front edge & larger stick sheers put each caterogory in plastic envelope file & stick caterogry sticker on front then all of them goes into dresser the files i use a drawer divider to hold them up,also I put a large word sticker that says stickers on one of the drawers Try planning weekly,monthly challenges & put in either or both paper/digital calendar
I found some reusable 'sticker paper' on amazon and put all my loose stickers and stickers leftover from stickers books on that paper. I hole punched the paper to keep everything in a binder. You could throw them all together or maybe sort them by theme. 🤷♀️
I'm a very visual organizer, & need to see all my stuff (not just my stickers), so I recently purchased a scrap rack system (it's like a big, open scrapbook). I love the concept, but want to share some of the drawbacks I've discovered while setting up this system: It has turned into quite the investment with all the add on board/section, different sized pockets/configurations. Ordered several different pocket pages, not knowing exactly what I would need, so I am running out of pages like the 4 & 5 pocket pages & my progress will come to somewhat of a halt till additional pocket pages arrive. Not sure how to share a picture on here or I would. Since you keep yours in a drawer, maybe you don't need to see everything like I do, and since you are just focused on stickers, what about this scrap rack concept, but in 12x12 3 ring binders with various size pocket pages. Each category would get its own binder (Alpha's & number stickers, Themes - like planner/planning stickers, Seasons & Holidays, & colors if you have a lot of same color stickers). Those are just the categories the Scrap Rack system uses, but use whatever categories work for you. Hopefully something here triggers some helpful ideas! Blessings!
Ok, one more idea - if you have a fuze tool, you could use standard 12x12 3 ring style page protectors to make your own customized pocket pages. Just a thought :)
Photo albums are what I use. I bought dollar tree ones but don't get those... They are super cheap quality. I have quite a few books but it really got me in gear to get rid of some so I really only had what I knew I'd use
Maybe using those smaller sticker notebooks, categorize by season, event (Go Wild). I have some bigger Vicki Boutin stickers. I may store those in my 12 x 12 Iris boxes with the papers. I'm curious what other people come up with for solutions!
Maybe you should just donate all of them and start over? SO MANY STICKERS! I know you get new all the time so you won't run out! That would solve your problem and some school or after school program would love them!
Tempting, yes, but I do like to use what I have, and I do go through ALOT of stickers every month between planner spreads, happy mail, and memory layouts.
True! I'm a big purger haha and that looked I overwhelming to me! You have lots of spreads we don't see, I'm sure. Good luck though! Did you film the reorganization yet?
I hope this doesn't sound mean, but I think your first priority should be a moratorium on buying stickers until you use up at least much of what you have. Good lord, girl - you have got a SERIOUS sticker stash! :) I wish I could be more helpful, but I am not experienced with organizing quite that many stickers, & I don't have sticker books at all. However, I wonder if pocket pages & sheet protectors might help. I'm talking about the ones you can get at the office supply store & put in binders. You might need to add an insert to the protectors/pockets for support & to make it easier to see what's in them, but I would imagine you could get away with just plain copy paper for that. I know you can get pages for 4x6" photos & baseball trading cards. I'm not sure about 5x7" photo pages, but maybe. Maybe those would work for some of your smaller stickers. Then full-size sheet protectors for the larger ones. If you went that route, I would sort them by theme or type or whatever categories make sense to you. Then you can write each category with a permanent marker on a Post It file tab (tabs specifically, not just sticky notes) & stick it to the first page protector in each section. I don't do that with stickers (remember, I don't have that many), but I do it with binders that hold class printouts & such, to divide the sections by class. Then label on the spine of each binder what categories are in that binder, so they are easy to see. All that, of course, assumes you have the proper storage setup for binders. If uniformity is not a big deal, you could even get photo albums for smaller stickers/sheets, & just keep the larger ones in sheet protectors in binders. I think even with that, though, labeling is key. Anyway, that's the best I can think of. I wish you luck in finding a solution. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)
Have you ever thought about trying a 10 pocket storage rainbow pocket chart? That is the exact name on Amazon. They are hanging or over the door wall file organizers, I have 2 on the back of my door and I am going g to try organizing my loose atickers in the pockets I'm not already using. You couldn't put sticker books in them, but all those stickers I've bought at Dollar Tree and are piled in a box? I think this would be a great way to organize them.
What if you used large plastic envelopes that clipped into storage binders. You could tab each one to tell you what is inside. I have told myself “You will buy no more stickers until you use what you have!” But my Self NEVER listens! I also struggle with sticker storage, but am contemplating the above idea as I could also label each binder and simply place them on the shelf.
My stickers are a nightmare. Oddly enough, my loose sticker sheets are better organized than the books. I keep my sheets in and small accordion folder…think the old folders we used to store canceled checks. Yes, I totally dated myself just now.
Cull them by at least half. Currently if you never brought another sticker in your life, between the books and loose ones you would NEVER use them all!!!
I create 7 crafting videos a week, most of which use stickers and send out at least 50 pieces of happy mail a month....trust me, I use a lot of stickers 😉
Wayyyyy too many stickers!!! I just bought some plastic pocketed sheets for displaying and saving bank notes. They are a weird size so will have to make a folder type cover for them Each page holds 3 banknotes. I figure they'll be great for storing stickers as you can see everything.
I will use many of them. I create at least 7 crafting videos a week, and send out about 50 pieces of happy mail a month. These will get used, I just need a system to organize what I have.
I know it’s a ton of work but I love when people put all their stickers into an album! Not the ones with the pockets but where they are actually repositionable and there is that sleeve overtop. Then you can organize all the loose sheet stickers into proper groupings!

Not good, I never want to look thru them.
I use my old Cricut mats. They are just sticky enough to hold the loose ones and I put the clear cover over them for protection against dust.
Definitely a lot of work, but I am sure that would be very satisfying.
I sort them and then I make a hole, put a ring through them and hang it the same way you do with your stencils.
It would be fun if maybe once a week you challenge yourself and use them in a project.
Girl, I use a ton of stickers every week, I promise!
My initial thought is to give yourself a XX-day challenge to use your loose sticker stash up. So pick a sheet as an inspiration jumping off point and create a speed around that. Or use a sticker off of each sheet as a common theme in your patron custom spreads. Make a game out of it to hide it in the spread somehow!!
So the plan would be to use the stash up asap and don’t ‘intentionally’ replace it…so that the problem eventually goes away.

That's a really good idea.
There are also legal size binders and legal size sheet protectors that could be used for the large thicker stickers.
I use a binder and page protectors it helps me a lot
I did this with an A5 mini Avery binder and a pack of sheet protectors that fit in it. I also break down the hp sticker books and put them in either little containers or zip lock baggies. 😁
I say that cause I am doing it with my supplies as well. I pack up bundles and give them to the scrapbook girls that just started.
👍🏻

I use the creative memories notebooks and LOVE them!
Awesome!
Great question! I will be interested to see what you decide on!!
Me too!
I was a Yeoman in the Navy for many years . I'm choosing catagories. People, animals, buildings alphabets, numbers, holidays etc. Then using sticker books, according files, and clear files (put lables) on every thing. "Another thing we get too many of" . the ones that I get in my patron packages I keep as sets.

Lots of great suggestions!
I just saw that Totally Tiffany has a multistorage collection that might meet your needs 4 your stickers.
Have a great blessed day.
👍🏻
The only advise I can give you….. where would you go to look for a sticker. If it’s by design or color or brand. That might be a good starting point!
Yes, that is a GREAT place to start for sure!
Target has a clear box that has two sides that you can store your stickers up right so you can flip through them. I also have a smaller one for desk top. I would pull all the half used ones so you can finish them or mail out happy mail. I seperate my planner books from the rest. You can pre make ephemera with your stickers. Destash your stickers if necessary. I never destash lol because i havent used anything yet just setting up my craft room
Great tips - thanks for sharing!
Here's an idea.......send me all the stuff you declutter! LOL!! I am just beginning with stickers in my planner, so I don't have a lot of options to choose from.
Haha, I do send out stuff to my patrons from time to time.
I took a box not too deep but with lid and I took zipplock bags to group things in themes. As I was mostly dealing with 'kids stickers" I have a bag that is Tinkerbell and Disney fairies, another that is Disney Princesses, Old Disney movies, Pixar, Disney Channel cartoons shows, Disney Channel shows, other cartoon movies, tsum tsums, vintage looking stickers and so on. I also took one box from the wet swiffers and cleaned it to put my vinyl stickers classified in baggies too. I try to at least make some type of kit so it's easier to use.
That's a very easy way to divide up the categories!
I'm right there with you on how to organize my stickers. I'm currently thinking of doing that myself
You can do it!
I separated my sticker book sheets and sticker sheets into themes ie alphas, animals, decorative journal blocks, icons, food/drink, small words, titled journal blocks, sports , botanicals,etc. Then I punched holes in top center if needed and organized sheets by size smallest to largest and put a binder ring on them. If there were only a few stickers on a sheet, I put them on a different fuller sheet with some openings on it. To ensure it would stick on the new sheet, I put clear packing tape on the new sheet and transferred the sticker on top of the packaging tape.

This took me a long time to organize but I find I now know my supplies, can find what I want quickly, and it takes up considerably less space in my craft room.
Glad it is a system that is working so well for you!
I’m trying to figure out this too! I needed this today! Thank you!
Let me know if you come up with a solution!
Totally Tiffany scraperack. I have just need put all the stickers in.
I don't really like how much counterspace that takes up.
I put my stickers by subject and size. Put a devider between. Each subject. But use what you have stared using. Dont open anything else until you finish what's open. Go on a spending freeze until feel like you are using what you have.
All good tips!
Maybe you make an inventory list/ index and assign a number to each category and keep it in a mini notebook. Create a title for each numbered category and then label the bins with that number. When you are looking for ideas you can look at your index and go to that numbered bin.

That's a really good idea!
I honestly use ziplock bags😅 it's not the best. Or I use folders. I'm excited to see what you do!
Hey, if it works for you, stick with it!

One additional thing to note on the Scrap Rack is you will need a big flat surface to house it on. Mine covers an entire desktop.
Ok, one more idea - if you have a fuze tool, you could use standard 12x12 3 ring style page protectors to make your own customized pocket pages. Just a thought :)
Yup, not a huge fan of that system because it takes up so much counter space. Seems a bit impractical for most craft spaces.

I have actually done this because I was just overwhelmed!
❤
@@lanamcdowell464 it's easier to get rid and start over than to organize a huge amount. And... you get to buy new stickers!!
Tempting, yes, but I do like to use what I have, and I do go through ALOT of stickers every month between planner spreads, happy mail, and memory layouts.

Then label on the spine of each binder what categories are in that binder, so they are easy to see. All that, of course, assumes you have the proper storage setup for binders. If uniformity is not a big deal, you could even get photo albums for smaller stickers/sheets, & just keep the larger ones in sheet protectors in binders. I think even with that, though, labeling is key. Anyway, that's the best I can think of. I wish you luck in finding a solution. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)
Of course, you need to remember what my job is....that might explain why I have so many 👍🏻
Have you ever thought about trying a 10 pocket storage rainbow pocket chart? That is the exact name on Amazon. They are hanging or over the door wall file organizers, I have 2 on the back of my door and I am going g to try organizing my loose atickers in the pockets I'm not already using. You couldn't put sticker books in them, but all those stickers I've bought at Dollar Tree and are piled in a box? I think this would be a great way to organize them.
Definitely a good idea. I don't have a door that is close by that I could hang it on, but I think that is definitely an option for others!
@@ScrappyWife I hope so!
I keep my loose stickers in page protectors in a binder. I divide them into categories that make sense to me (without getting too micro about it)
Good solution!
It has a systems. 4 catalogs. Letter and number, catalog calerdra, and colors -- rainbow
Nice!
What if you used large plastic envelopes that clipped into storage binders. You could tab each one to tell you what is inside. I have told myself “You will buy no more stickers until you use what you have!” But my Self NEVER listens! I also struggle with sticker storage, but am contemplating the above idea as I could also label each binder and simply place them on the shelf.
Hehe, that "self" never seems to listen 😂
You will have enough roon to put on your counter and can add to the rack. You can more 2
I like to use my counter for other things!
I would maybe sort by seasons/theme or sort by colors- bright/pastel. Maybe challenge yourself to use loose stickers in 1 spread per month.
I like the idea of that monthly challenge.
The Planner Kate albums are working for me
Nice! Good to know!
My stickers are a nightmare. Oddly enough, my loose sticker sheets are better organized than the books. I keep my sheets in and small accordion folder…think the old folders we used to store canceled checks. Yes, I totally dated myself just now.
I think an accordion folder is a great idea!
I organize my stickers by themes and my alpha stickers by color. They're in stackable containers.
Nice!
Cull them by at least half. Currently if you never brought another sticker in your life, between the books and loose ones you would NEVER use them all!!!
I create 7 crafting videos a week, most of which use stickers and send out at least 50 pieces of happy mail a month....trust me, I use a lot of stickers 😉
I have a hanging file box . Floral, alphabet, etc .
Nice system!
Divider tabs by size and colour
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think files like you would use a filing cabinet
That might be a solution 👍🏻
How about decluttering them by creating prizes to send to your patrons
I did do decluttering in this video...just looking for a system to organize what I have left.
Wayyyyy too many stickers!!! I just bought some plastic pocketed sheets for displaying and saving bank notes. They are a weird size so will have to make a folder type cover for them Each page holds 3 banknotes. I figure they'll be great for storing stickers as you can see everything.
Hope your new system works for you 👍🏻
Just declutter them.
👍🏻
I have my loose sticker sheets organized by season and the rest go in miscellaneous.
Nice system!
Every month just Donate, Send a bundle to your Patreons, Will you really use them. Just saying...
I will use many of them. I create at least 7 crafting videos a week, and send out about 50 pieces of happy mail a month. These will get used, I just need a system to organize what I have.
Hmmm... here is an idea. Don't buy any more stickers !!!
So helpful, thanks 😂
