DIY: How to Make a Reusable Sticker Book for Toddlers and Kids

Materials

  • Recycled cardboard box cut into desired shape and size for sticker page
  • Box cutter (grown-up task only)
  • Contact Paper to cover the cardboard cutout
  • Paints or scrapbook paper to design sticker page scene
  • Scissors for cutting the contact paper

Instructions

  • First, gather the supplies and materials. Decide the shape and size of the sticker pages for the book. Using a box cutter (grown-up task), cut the cardboard into the desired shape.
  • Second, paint the scene onto the cardboard or glue down scrapbook paper to create a scene. Wait for the scene to completely dry before moving to the next step.
  • Next, trim the contact paper to fit the cardboard sheet. Add approximately 1 inch to each side. Lay the trimmed contact paper on a smooth surface with the adhesive side facing up. Place the cardboard onto the contact paper with the painted scenery touching the adhesive side of the contact paper. Trim the edges as needed.
  • Lastly, add colorful stickers and enjoy! Keep making more pages to complete a full book.

Notes

  • Here are a few ways to bind the book: staple one side of the edges together, hole punch and secure the pages with twine, paper fasteners, or binder rings.
  • If you want a more professional looking sticker book, you could cover cardstock paper with contact paper and have a place like Staples spiral bind the sticker pages into a book. This cost is usually $12-14.
