Sticker book obsessed!

Are your kids obsessed with stickers? Mine are! While I love giving them stickers to play with, I don't like finding them all over the house. Here is a little book I made to keep us both happy.


Supplies:

  • fabric scraps (mine were about 10" long and 4" wide)
  • laminating sheets (can buy them at Jo Ann fabrics)
  • stickers
Cut 5 pieces of fabric to desired size.
I cut mine 10"x 4".

Laminate the fabric per instructions on laminating sheets.


After laminating. Take one piece of laminated fabric and fold in half like above. This is going to be the center page.

Trim all the edges.
Sew 2 pieces of laminated fabric together, wrong sides facing. (I zig-zag stitched mine.)
Repeat with last two pieces of laminated fabric.

Should have this now.
Make a book with the pieces and sew together on fold.

Trim edges.




My favorite part about the book is how the laminated fabric allows them to remove the stickers and reuse them, but I have to warn you, beware of this!

I knew something was going on when I heard 3 little hooligans laughing away!

Here is another sticker book we put together by using plastic baggies, scrapbook paper, and a few ribbons. I decided to sew the book together instead of using staples because it is safer.




There! A little book for sticker obsessed kids.
