✅ Beginner checklist

  • Something to stick on — a journal or notebook → The Cozy Days Gift Set
  • Something to stick with — adhesive that won't wrinkle paper → Stick With Me glue tape
  • Something decorative — washi tape for borders & accents
  • Something fun — stickers to layer and personalize

That's honestly it. Everything else — scissors, pens, extra paper — you probably already own.
