(This is not a sponsored post- I just love my MAMBI products and love sharing my ideas with fellow planners!)
In February I came up with the idea for a DIY Sticker Book using Me and My Big Ideas products and sticker pages. The post took off, and I’ve seen probably hundreds of people make their own!
Each one had a unique twist. The twist I especially loved was when people made the cover and dividers match the size of the sticker pages. The one thing I disliked about my sticker book was that the cover and dividers hung way past the sticker pages.
In steps the new plastic dashboards, the expandable paper pads, and my handy dandy mambi punch! It was time for my sticker book to get a makeover!
The supplies you need for this makeover are:
- 2 packs of Mambi plastic dashboards
- Mambi expandable paper pad (or any paper of your choosing)
- Handy dandy mambi punch
- Washi tape
- Alpha stickers
- Scissors
To start off, I used my scissors to cut off the plastic tab of the clear dashboard from each pack. I decided to use these as the front and back cover since they are see through and you can see the paper I chose. Since they aren’t being used as dividers, I cut the divider part off. You can see in the picture above that the tab has been cut off!
I then cut the paper to the size of the clear divider. I chose to use the same paper for front and back, as pictured above.
To ensure that the paper doesn’t rip in the sticker book, I strengthened the edge that I would be punching with a coordinating mambi washi.
Then it was time to get my punching on! #punchapalooza
I then took out the divider folders I had previously used and replaced them with the pink and blue plastic dashboards. I used my alpha stickers to label each divider as well as to put a cute title on the cover!
There you have it! Your DIY Sticker Book is now remodeled to a smaller size. I LOVE how it turned out! ((Can you tell my sticker book is busting at the seams? It might be time to make a second one! 😍))

I love this! Such a great size and perfect fit. How did you get the paper onto the plastic front and back pieces? Thanks for sharing!

Hi Brandi! I didn’t attach them or anything to the plastic. I just put them in right behind! They aren’t actually attached!

How did you punch the sticker pages without punching into the actual stickers along the left side?

I have a tutorial linked in this post that explains it, but basically I taped them to card stock and punched the card stock

This is such a great idea you’ve done a wonderful job! I have just purchased my first Happy Planner but it doesn’t start until July so I’m loving all these ideas to get me organised so I’m ready to plan come July!

Looks like you have a clear cover protecting your paper covers; how did you do you do that?
