How to Make Book Stickers Using Canva

Have you been wondering how everyone has those stickers of book covers in their planners and journals?

Today, I wanted to share just that! This is a pretty easy process of using Canva and Microsoft Word to make those stickers. 

If you don't have time to watch the video, here's a supply list and a how-to list so you can get the info and then get crafting!

Supplies:

• Sticker Paper
• Canva
• Microsoft Word 
• Printer
• Tom Bow Adhesive: this is only if you want to use regular printer paper and not sticker paper to create your stickers!
• Paper Trimmer
• Bookish Washi Tape
• Dot Grid Bullet Journal Bundle

*Quick Note: Canva does have a paid plan but I'm pretty sure I used only the free features. 

How To: 

• Get all of the book covers you need from either Goodreads or Google
• Make a folder on Canva and upload the covers
• Make an image in Canva the size of your planner page
• Use the "fonts" tool within Canva to create a title (optional)
• Find the "grids" elements in Canva and find one that is the amount of books you want in one row
• Resize the row so that your covers will fit in them
• Drag and drop a cover to make sure it fits correctly (resize until it looks the way you want it to!)
• Copy and paste your grid row as many times as you need (3 rows of 5 covers, etc)
• Keep dragging and dropping your covers until all slots are filled
• Save the image to your computer
• Open microsoft word or some other program and open a blank document (just use the default, letter size page)
• Size the image on the page
• Print on sticker paper that you've loaded into your printer
• Use paper trimmer to cut out title and covers
• Arrange in planner and admire your work!

And that's everything! I know the how-to list looks long but I wanted to break down each and every step. This process gets quicker and easier the more you do it. 

I like making these types of layouts for my favorite books but also for seasonal reads, tbr lists, and even just printing a cover for a review in my planner!
