This kawaii stickers printable set turns everyday things into tiny happy characters: smiling onigiri, blushing peaches, sleepy cats and a whole shelf of desserts and drinks with faces. There are 27 sheets in total, grouped by theme, so you can pull whatever matches your mood for a planner week, a journal spread or a handmade card.
Print each sheet on printable sticker paper for a true peel-and-stick feel, or use plain paper and a glue stick if that is what you have on hand. Print at actual size (not scaled to fit), then cut around each shape leaving a thin white border so the little faces stay easy to see.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Kawaii Kitchen
Rice, noodles and dumplings get the full treatment here: a smiling onigiri, a happy sushi roll, a dumpling with a face, a bao bun with a face, a ramen bowl with a face and a tempura shrimp with a face.
These work well tucked along the edge of a meal-planning page or scattered across a recipe card. Group two or three together in a corner rather than lining them up in a row, so the sheet feels playful instead of like a menu.
Drop this sheet into a planner week built around fresh starts or spring: a smiling strawberry, a blushing peach, a happy lemon, a cherry pair, a watermelon slice with a face and a pineapple with a face give any page a summery lift.
Sip-sized and full of personality, this sheet covers a boba cup with a face, a milk carton with a face, a juice box with a face, a coffee cup with a face, a teapot with a face and a soda can with a face.
If boba is your thing, pair this sheet with the bubble tea drawing ideas for a whole shelf of drink-themed pages. Use the coffee cup or teapot alone as a small sticker on the corner of a weekly spread.
Print this one on sticker paper for a true peel-and-stick cat loaf, cat with a bow, cat in a cup, cat with a fish, sleepy cat and cat holding a heart, or print on plain paper and keep a glue stick nearby for the same effect at no extra cost.
A tiny dessert case fits on one sheet: pudding with a face, a mochi trio, a dango stick, a taiyaki with a face, a pancake stack with a face and a donut with a face.
Leave a thin white border around the mochi trio and dango stick when you cut, since their rounded edges meet close together on the page. A craft knife makes the small gaps between the mochi balls much easier to clear than scissors.
Mark the actual weather on a planner page, or just brighten a gray week, with a smiling sun, a blushing cloud, a rainbow with faces, a raindrop with a face, a snowflake with a face and a moon with a face.
This sheet gathers six soft, round bears doing small comforting things: holding a balloon, eating honey, wearing a hoodie, holding a star, hugging a pillow and a plain panda bear sitting quietly on its own.
Pair it with the Kawaii Cats sheet for a cozy two-sheet set of animal stickers to split across a week of journal pages. The bear hugging a pillow works nicely as a small sticker beside a bedtime or rest-day entry.
Fitting for a stationery-lover’s planner, this sheet covers a pencil with a face, an eraser with a face, a sticky note with a face, a glue stick with a face, a crayon with a face and a pen with a face.
Kawaii Garden
Cut these on a lazy afternoon and keep them in a small envelope: a cactus with a face, a succulent with blush, a potted flower with a face, a mushroom with a face, a sprout with a face and a tulip with a face, ready whenever a page needs a little green.
Round out an ocean-themed spread with a whale with a face, a jellyfish with a face, an octopus with a face, a fish with blush, a starfish with a face and a crab with a face, six soft sea creatures on one clean sheet.
If you enjoy ocean pages, the easy watercolor ocean scenes make a nice full-page backdrop to scatter these stickers over once dry. Keep the octopus and jellyfish together since their curved tentacles pair well in a corner.
Six round hamsters fill this sheet, each caught in a different small moment: holding a seed, sitting in a cup, running in a wheel, sleeping, holding a strawberry and one with its cheeks stuffed full.
Start a morning planner page with toast, egg, a pancake with a butter face, bacon, milk glass and cereal bowl, all smiling, all ready to be clustered along the top of the page like a tiny breakfast tray.
Small enough to tuck anywhere a page needs a finishing touch, this sheet holds a star with a face, a heart with a face, a sparkle with a face, a shooting star with a face, a heart balloon with a face and a planet with a face.
These make a fast five-minute embellishment set: cut just two or three, skip the rest, and scatter them around a card’s edge or a journal date stamp. No need to use the whole sheet at once.
This sheet gathers six different dogs in one cheerful lineup: a shiba inu, a round corgi, a pug with a bow, a puppy curled in a basket, a dog with a bone and a dog wearing a raincoat.
Soft and rounded, this sheet covers a chick, a duckling, a round sparrow, a parakeet, a baby owl and a chicken wearing a tiny hat, six small birds suited to spring pages or nature journals.
A candy jar with a face, lollipop, gumdrop, cotton candy, chocolate bar and jelly bean fill this sheet, six sweet shop characters perfect for the edges of a treat-themed planner page or a kid’s party card.
Print on sticker paper when the candy jar’s glass shape needs crisp edges to look right once cut. On plain paper it still reads fine, just cut a little wider around the thin lines of the jar’s lid.
Six garden vegetables carry faces here: a carrot, a broccoli floret, a tomato, a corn cob, an eggplant and a pea pod with two tiny faces peeking out of the shell.
Give a cozy night-in page a set of characters: a lamp with a face, a sofa with a face, a pillow with a face, a clock with a face, a book with a face and a slipper with a face, six small comforts for a quiet corner of a journal spread.
Six frogs share this sheet in six different poses: one wearing a leaf hat, one sitting on a lily pad, one holding a cupcake, one under an umbrella, one asleep and one wearing a tiny strawberry hat.
Pair this sheet with Kawaii Sea Life for a pond-and-ocean set of cards, since both sheets share that same soft blue-green palette. A small pair of detail scissors makes the lily pad’s scalloped edge much easier than larger scissors.
Kawaii Desk
Headphones, a radio, a guitar, a microphone, a cassette tape and a music note all get faces on this sheet, six characters for anyone who fills a planner margin with playlists and song lyrics.
Six study essentials carry faces on this sheet: a backpack, a lunch box, a ruler, a pair of scissors, a globe and a paint palette, all suited to a student planner or a back-to-school card.
If drawing little desk friends is your favorite part of kawaii, the kawaii doodles collection has more ideas built around the same cheerful style. Group the globe and paint palette together for a small study-week sticker pair.
A latte, a croissant, a macaron, a cupcake, a cookie and a muffin, all smiling, fill this cafe-themed sheet, suited to tucking along the border of a brunch page or a handmade cafe-style card.
Six farm animals carry small personalities here: a sheep with a face, a cow wearing a bell, a pig with blush, a goat holding a flower, a horse with a bow and a llama with a face.
A rocket with a face, a ringed planet with a face, a blushing alien, a flying saucer with a face, an astronaut cat and a comet with a face make up this sheet.
This set pairs nicely with the Kawaii Weather sheet since both share the same sky-blue background tone, so keep them in the same envelope. The astronaut cat alone makes a fun single sticker on the front of a birthday card.
Six flowers get the kawaii treatment on this sheet: a daisy, a rose, a sunflower, a sakura blossom, a lily and a lotus, each with a small face suited to spring journal pages and floral cards.
Kawaii Desk
A lipstick, a hand mirror, a perfume bottle, a nail polish, a comb and a hair clip all carry small faces on this sheet, six vanity-table characters suited to a self-care planner page.
Closing out the set, this sheet covers a suitcase with a face, a plane with a face, a car with a face, a train with a face, a hot air balloon with a face and a map with a face, six small travel companions for a trip-planning spread or a travel journal cover.
What to Do Next
Pick two or three sheets that match your current project, print them on sticker paper or plain paper, and start cutting: the rest of the set will keep for whenever the next journal page or card needs a little smiling face.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these kawaii stickers?
Printable sticker paper gives a true peel-and-stick result with a clean adhesive back. Plain paper works too if you keep a glue stick on hand, and matte sticker paper holds color better than glossy for small detailed faces.
What printer settings should I use?
Print at actual size or 100 percent scale, never fit to page, so the stickers stay true to the sheet’s proportions. Choose the highest quality or photo setting your printer offers for crisp outlines on the small faces.
How do I cut out the small details neatly?
Leave a thin white border around each sticker rather than cutting flush to the outline, which protects the shape from fraying. A craft knife handles tight inner curves, like between mochi balls or dango sticks, better than scissors.
Can I use these stickers on gifts, not just journals?
Yes, they work well on gift bags, jar lids and wrapped presents, not only paper. Stick a cat or bear sticker on a gift tag, or line a few food stickers along the fold of a handmade card.
Which sheets pair well together for a themed spread?
Sheets within the same group, like Kawaii Kitchen or Kawaii Garden, share a palette and mood, so pick two or three from one group for a cohesive spread. Mixing a food sheet with an animal sheet also works nicely for variety.
