One of my favorite hobbies was learning how to make planner stickers at home. When I mastered it, I start to sell them too!
Being able to make money is just one of the reasons that I love to make my own DIY planner stickers.

How to Make Planner Stickers: What are they
Planner stickers for journals are used to decorate and personalize paper or digital planners, journals, diary stickers and scrapbooks.
They can be used to mark and remember important dates, events, and To Do items. Also, adding creativity and color to your planner pages! Additionally, they’re are perfect for specific needs such as tracking your habits, setting goals, and creating specific to-do lists.
Stickers for planners can help you to make the planning process even more fun and decorative. They help you to stay organized and on top of your tasks and events.
Why Make Stickers for Planners
What are the benefits of learning how to make printable planner stickers? You’ll get these benefits when you make stickers for planner pages:
You’ll be more organized and motivated
Your own stickers are perfect to help you be more organized in all aspects of your personal life, business, family and more. They can be used to remember important dates and events, such as birthdays, appointments, and meetings as well as a place to write any specific To-Do Lists you need to keep a track of.
Custom planner stickers can also be used to mark tasks that need to be completed, such as chores, work tasks, assignments or projects, and can help to ensure that you don’t forget any steps – even micro tasks!
Using your own personalized stickers to decorate your planner can make your planning process and routine even more enjoyable and fun and you’ll take pride in using the stickers that YOU have created. These stickers help to motivate you to stay on top of your tasks and goals too. By physically marking off each day that you complete a habit, you can see your progress and stay motivated to continue working on that habit. We all love checking off lists, right?!
You save money
Let’s be honest, when you’re knee-deep in planner addiction, the cost can start to add up pretty quickly. Because…stationery!
The cost of buying planners, stickers, washi, pens and more can really give your budget a hit and so learning to make your own planner stickers will really help you keep that cost down.
I still sometimes buy affordable planner stickers from other shops but way less from others now I know how to make my own.
You’ll get creative!
There are sooooo many different kinds available online from functional to cute to hand-drawn and more and when you design your own, you’ll get so much more creative!
Customizing your planner with your very own stickers means you’ll develop your own personal style that reflects your personality and interests too.
As well as adding creative time to your week, making stickers is also a great way to relax too. Decorating your planner with stickers is a super fun and relaxing hobby that can help to reduce stress and give you that sense of peace, calm and pride. It’s like art therapy – and we can all benefit from that!
You only make what you need
For a long time, I would buy the biggest sticker kits available because I wanted to ensure that those kits had all of the different kinds of stickers I needed to stay organized.
Even when I purchased separate pages though, I would end up wasting so many stickers that I just didn’t use.
Knowing how to make sticker sheets means I only create the ones I need and want – and you can do the same.
When you’re making your own sticker sheets, you’re in control and you’ll find you’ll waste way less.
It’s a great hobby
Making your own planner stickers could uncover some talents in design and drawing that you didn’t even know you had – or that you had forgotten about.
I love to design and find taking the time to sit at my computer and design sticker sheets is pure therapy. I can listen to music and get creative.
Perhaps you own an iPad and can hand draw your own designs and convert them into stickers?
You could sell them!
A common reason for many of us wanting to start our making our own stickers is to sell them.
This could be for a little extra money on the side – selling what we’ve made for ourselves – or going full into creating your own planner sticker shop.
You might choose to sell your stickers on Etsy or to your friends and, whilst it’s a competitive space, there’s always room for one more store!
