This photo and article are reposted from an earlier (failed) blog that I once ran, before I discovered the magic and convenience of Tumblr. I was reminded of this entry thanks to a question asked on Apartment Therapy, which I missed the first time around, and therefore missed out on contributing to at the time.

Maybe it’s the grade school kid in me, but I still love finding or receiving new stickers, especially stickers for my favorite rock’n’roll bands. I can never commit to placing them anywhere though, mostly because stickers aren’t generally reusable or easily removable, and the process of sticking them on to something is ultimately destructive.

Enter the magnificient, manipulatable dollar store magnet sheets, by far the most versatile dollar store item I’ve found. Sold in several versions, the only limit to the ways these can be used is how far your imagination is able to go. For commitment-phobes like me, these magnet sheets are a perfect way to showcase my ever-growing collection of rock’n’roll stickers in a completely non-destructive way.

Here are a few stickers from my collection, temporarily housed on the side of my filing cabinet. I peeled and stuck each one onto equally sticky magnet sheets and then carefully cut each out. The sheets are 8” x 10”, plenty of space for a few different stickers of varying shapes and sizes.

With this system, although my stickers are usually at home on my fridge, I can easily transfer them to any metal surface, from magnet boards and metal desks to the side of my car should fancy strike. Better yet, should I for some reason decide to not want to broadcast my love for Nashville Pussy to those visiting my house, the sticker can now easily be removed and stashed away. This is a great system for kids and teens, and depending on how nimble you are with scissors, can even be applied to very small or detailed stickers.
