Do you love to print and cut your own stickers with your Cricut or Silhouette machine, but hate to waste sticker paper? Well, don’t throw away those scraps. You can still use them!
You may not be able to print anymore on your paper scraps, but you can still cut and add designs manually. In this post I’ll be sharing some of my favorite ways to use up small pieces of sticker paper.

Here are my top three ways to put sticker paper scraps to good use:
1. Use craft punches to create mini shape stickers
Craft punches come in all different sorts of shapes and can be used to make mini stickers from your paper. Create shapes like hearts, stars, snowflakes, or leaves to add to your craft projects, journals, and planners.
You can also add color and designs with markers and pen. I like to use border punches to create a quick lacy edging to add to a handmade card or scrapbook page. Another one of my favorite punches is the binder hole reinforcer punch from We R Memory Keepers (now We R Makers). Strong vinyl sticker paper is perfect to use with this because it doesn’t tear easily.
2. Make your own tape.
Simply cut your scraps into long strips and ta-da—instant tape! Use it plain or create your own design to make a custom decorative tape. If you are addicted to collecting washi tapes, this is a particularly fun and perfect way to use up strips of sticker paper.
3. Create DIY labels.
This can be as simple as cutting your paper into strips like we did with the tape, and writing on them, or you can cut out fancier custom shapes with your cutting machine. A Cricut Joy is perfect for a small project like this, but it can be done with a full size machine as well!
And those are my three top ways to use up sticker paper scraps! What do you do with your scraps? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear your ideas!
