Journal stickers are the quickest way to make a bullet journal, planner or scrapbook page feel finished. The trick is not more stickers, it’s the right stickers: a small set that matches your colours, your page size and what the page is for. Below are 30 ideas grouped by theme, a simple way to plan a spread, and how to build your own pack.

How to plan a journal spread with stickers

  1. Choose a theme for the week or month: “strawberry season”, “exam prep”, “pink and pearls”.
  2. Pick a palette of two or three colours from your theme and stick to it.
  3. Place the hero sticker first, usually near the title or the top corner.
  4. Add small accents along the edges, next to headings and in empty corners.
  5. Leave white space. Pages look calmer and your writing stays readable.

Build your own journal sticker pack

Most sticker sheets come with designs you won’t use. A build-your-own pack fixes that: you choose every sticker.

  • Choose a pack size: 12, 24 or 48 stickers (from LKR 1,800).
  • Pick designs from the sticker catalog by theme.
  • Add your own artwork or photos: up to 4 custom designs in a 12-pack, 8 in a 24-pack and 12 in a 48-pack.
  • Pay by cash on delivery or bank transfer; we deliver across Sri Lanka.

If you want 50 or more copies of one design, for a journaling club, a stationery shop or a giveaway, request a sticker printing quote instead.

Journal sticker mistakes to avoid

  • Too many themes on one page. Choose one.
  • Stickers larger than the space. Measure the gap first, especially in A5 and smaller notebooks.
  • Covering text you still need. Sticker the margins and headers, not the writing area.
  • Low-resolution photos. If you make stickers from your own photos, use the original file, not a screenshot.
