How many Little Stickies do I need?

Jan 20, 2021

One of the most common questions we get asked is "how many sheets do I need for my wall?" 

For our Little Stickies (e.g hearts and stars) we tell you in the product info how many sheets we use to achieve the look in the picture. 

There are two things you need to think about:
1 - The size of wall you want to cover. We like to think about this in terms of square metres. So a wall that is 2m(6.5ft) x 3m(10ft) is 6m² (square metres).
2 - What sort of spacing do you want between your Little Stickies? Do you like them as we've shown them in our pictures? Or do you want them to be closer together or further apart. Our Little Sticky rainbows are shown at about 12 per m². For a more spaced out look you could use 8 per m² or for nice and close together you could use 17 per m²
Great, so, now what...? A quick sum (sorry)! 

Wall size (m²) x Little Stickies per square metre = the number of Little Stickies you need.

So, in our example our wall is 6m² and we want 12 stickies per m², which means we will want a total of about 72 little rainbows. 

If this has all just made your brain hurt, send us a message with you wall size and we'll give you our recommendation :)
