The Stick Up {giveaway}

Since early December the Drummer boys have been excitedly collecting Christmas cards and eating radioactive candy canes from all their Kindy friends. Fiercely guarding their card stash [for 5 mins before they rush to fridge] and re-counting who was on the naughty or nice list !

I didn't know what to do with all the cards. I was fed up with picking them off the floor and kitchen benches...  I can't recycle them till January, when they aren't looking !
Boys loved it that I let them stick things to the walls -finally ! It kept them busy for an hour rearranging them- best use of 4.95
When the Scotch Restickables arrived in the mail I knew the problem licked - minus the licking. We cut some of the tabs up to keep the cards in place.


The Kindy craft 'paper plate wreath' on the glass door has withstood everything including  wind & intense heat and being slammed shut.

My boys are addicted to making balls out of the coloured putty stuff , they steal and hoard it . Then it gets dirty and gritty or ends up stuck in the shoe tread or worse...

Last week I had to remove a huge squished in wad of it from the back pocket of Joel's school shorts...I still cannot pick it all out ! I thought freezing it would work -uh no  #FAIL

Restickables are a light weight mounting product with double sided adhesive, little squares of tacky goodness to mount precious school artworks or signs like this ...

The difference is when restickables get dirty (and loses its adhesive power) you just wash with soapy water, rinse and air dry - to restore stickiness and to be reused again.

Restickables sit 'flush' against surfaces and remove cleanly, without leaving any residue. Our teen's room needed sanding and re-painting from his efforts to keep posters and photos on the walls.

I need to re-do my motivation board with restickables now - lot of things are falling off with just blu tac!
I think it will be perfect for scrap-booking my special cards and letters too- because the tabs are photo safe and can be moved around without damaging anything.


The Christmas elves were a problem , fridge magnets were ugly on them and they fell off  whenever we opened the doors (like 50 times in 4 hrs) - restickables nailed it! The shapes are our favourite.

now cutely and firmly stuck.

 I wish it could stick the kids to their seats during dinner and keep the fridge door shut.


The Restickable range is available in a variety of sizes - small tabs, strips and shapes.
RRP is $4.95 at any Officeworks or Bunnings.

I have one set of the Restickable range to give away plus a few extra samples.

Hi Trish, as I read about your boys sticking their Christmas cards up on the wall I realised I need to do exactly the same thing. I have nowhere to string a cord and peg them up and otherwise they just sit in an untidy heap and their glittered beauty just goes to waste. A very practical giveaway..so useful!

carol , we have no where to string and peg either ...though I have 2 dozen new tiny tiny pegs. Plus I think I'd be forever putting it back up.
The Elves are so cute. I love the shapes and I'd use them for photos on the fridge too.
That sign would be perfect in my loo, no one else changes the rolls.
I'd like to use re-stickables for the school lists inside the cupboard.

It worked well Caz, I do like the string too.
Great idea too - while you are cooking thanks Atoxim.
I actually want that bathroom sign you have up there! I want to get a printable of it and frame it in a bright colour and put it in the bathroom for the boys.

As for the restickables - that's easy. Alexander has a bit of an obsession with creating and then putting up signs and posters. We rent so I hatehatehate having to tell him no. I only let him put them on windows/sliding doors or doors. These sound like maybe they'd be fine on the walls.

Great for the bathroom as well, so many things to stick!!!!! even in the kids rooms thanks its a great idea ♥♥
Perfect for the back of the toilet door. It is where we put things we want the kids to read and memorise. I love them to learn quotes and have them become a part of who they are...but usually it is just spelling words and time tables!

I would use them to stick the bills on the wall in front of my computer so I could pay the bills on time because I have bad memory. Also I would use them to stick my kid's drawings on their bedroom wall, it would be lots of fun to see different works everyday.
I'd use it in the loungeroom to make shapes from my favourite photos, and in the spare room next to my sewing machine to stick up inspiring ideas and instructions I've printed off :)
They would be so useful for my uni stuff for organising notes & pictures for my assignments. Also decorating with foam shapes & pics in my daughters room it would make it easier to rearange the patterns.
School newsletters, important dates, notes, etc on the wall above my laptop. They are currently stored in a drawer of the office and as they say, out of sight out of mind. I forget so many things!
I would use them for my daughters artwork that she brought home from school at the end of the year and put them on the artwork wall
I would use the restickables to stick my menu plan to the wall in the kitchen so I don't have to look for it all the time!
My recent post Life Begins at 40...cards 26-40
Love it! I would stick all the house rules notes firmly to a surface near where the offense may occur- eg Turn it off!, Pick it Up, Eat only 1...
Great giveaway - I saw a blog post about using Scotch tape for nail art and would love to try it
