Crafty Stickers
I think that one of my most favorite formats that Chronicle Books publishes are their Labels + Sticker Books. Really any sticker is a favorite of mine, I use them for everything. From the obvious; on packages, boxes and envelopes to just about anything else. When I got this new sticker book, “Crafty Stickers” I was so excited!
Look how awesome! There are a bunch of different sizes and types of labels in the book.
Okay, I got started making stuff with them right away. I put some on wooden discs and glued them to smaller clothespins so I could organize my wholesale invoices and orders. (Previously, I taped them to the wall. This system works a bit better.)
I put a wire in through the clothespin so it could hang from my card catalog. This makes it really easy to organize and file away once they’re out.
Then I turned to my laminator which was a Christmas gift and a new really good buddy to me. I typed up some phrases and put them on a few stickers to make Crafty Bookmarks! Now I have a stack of them to put in my craft books/magazines to remember what I wanted to go back and make.
I wrote a little diddy on it that reads: “Take a look, see how neat! Holy cow, this can’t be beat! See it here? Let’s make it now. You can do it, I know you know how!”
On this one I wrote: “Please make me this. Let’s add it to the list. I think it’s really awesome, even more so than possums.” Ha! I love writing these verses. Also, I made some “Please Return To” bag tags so in case something gets lost, it might be returned. Unless it’s stolen in which case they’ll know where all the bad karma is coming from.
I tied this one to my point + shoot camera case that I keep in my bag all the time. I just made a small slit in the zipper edging and tied it to there so it can stay nestled in the bag and not in the away.
Labels + Stickers rock! Happy Friday!!

I just bought a package of sticker paper at Staples. I am looking for black line drawing-type stickers that my 5-year-old can color in. We got a page of them made by Crayola a while ago and they were a big hit, but I’d love to print my own. Do you ever make something like this? I would totally buy it.

I saw on amazon that chronicle is going to have small object lebls and stickers out in september. but it’s by karen neuburger, is it a misprint?

I have that same sticker packet and LOVE it! I also think your poems are adorable!

No such place Nancy! Perhaps, just perhaps, some organized clutter but no messes amidst us. :)
And Abby, brilliant idea!! I’m working on something similar and I love this, I need to get on it this week.
And Amanda, yes, but shh!! I was waiting to spill the beans until the misprint was fixed. Talk about confusion. But I’m so stoked about it! More soon. I have a couple projects being released with Chronicle that I’m so excited about it. I mean a sticker book? Yes please!

The font you used for your poems is adorable, what is the name of it?

I loved your clothespin organizing idea with the labels! I don’t have a wholesale line, but may adapt your idea to organizing my piles at home.
