Give Your Personal Stuff More Personality
The first place with a ton of sticker potential is your personal stuff. After all, if you're wondering where to put stickers, it's always best to start with things that belong only to you. These are the things that you see all the time, so you'll get the most enjoyment out of seeing stickers on these items.

- Mug or cup
- Journal
- Phone
- Tablet
- Glasses case
- Flashlight or multi-tool
- Small organizer box or container
When you're thinking about where to put stickers, go for surfaces that are smooth. Make sure the item is clean and dry before you slap a sticker on it. Plastic, ceramic, glass, metal, and vinyl are all good options.
Show Off Your Stickers on the Go
One of the coolest options for showing off your sticker collection or just a couple super cute decals is however you get around. No matter what kind of transportation you use, you probably have some things to put stickers on that are related to it.
- Car windows and bumper

Show Off Stickers at School or Work
If you're heading off to school or the office, you can decorate your supplies with stickers to add way more personality. This is a perfect way to give your sticker collection extra visibility.

- Note cards - Turn plain notes into custom note cards by adding awesome stickers to the front. This gives you way more options for greeting cards than you would find in the store.
