This set of nature stickers printable sheets brings the woods and fields to your worktable: forest trees, mushrooms, woodland birds, leaves, berries, ferns, insects and the changing sky, all split into twenty two small sheets. Each one covers a single corner of the outdoors, from a chanterelle and a porcini to a field mouse and a shrew, so you can pick exactly the handful of objects a page needs.
Print on printable sticker paper for pages that peel and stick straight onto a journal spread, or use plain paper and a glue stick for the same look with less cost. Either way, print at actual size and leave a thin white edge around each sticker when you cut, it keeps the fine lines crisp and gives you a little room for error.
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.
Trees and Woodland
Six familiar trees stand together here: oak, pine, birch, maple, fir and willow, drawn as simple standalone shapes rather than a crowded scene.
These work well scattered along the edge of a nature walk page or lined up across the top of a planner week to mark the season. Pair the sheet with the leaves and seeds set below so a tree and its own leaf can sit side by side on the page.
A woodpecker, an owl, a wren, a jay, a thrush and a nuthatch perch here as six separate stickers, each bird shown whole on its own small branch.
Use sticker paper if you want these to peel straight onto a bird watching page or the margin of a planner, since the fine beak and feather lines hold up better than hand cut glued paper. If you love this kind of bird work, the watercolor birds templates and the owl painting ideas are worth a look too.
Forest Floor
Six forest mushrooms share this sheet: a chanterelle, a porcini, a toadstool, a puffball, a morel and a shaggy mane, each drawn as its own distinct cap and stem so no two look alike on the page.
Leave a thin white border around the fiddlehead and the fern frond when you cut these, the curled tips are the most delicate part of the sheet and tear easily if you cut right up to the ink line.
The set covers a fern, a moss clump, a lichen branch, a fiddlehead, a horsetail and a mossy stone, all quiet green shapes that sit nicely tucked into the gaps between busier stickers on a journal page.
Leaves and Trees
Oak leaf, birch leaf, beech leaf, ash key, hazel leaf and sycamore seed fill this sheet, six small botanical shapes that scatter nicely across the corners of an autumn journal page or a pressed leaf collection.
A pinecone, an acorn, a hazelnut, a chestnut, a walnut and a beechnut make up this sheet of small woodland finds, the kind of thing a hand picks up on a walk and tucks into a pocket.
Print these on plain paper and glue them down if you only need one or two per page, it saves sticker paper for sheets you will use in full. This set pairs easily with the forest trees sheet above for a page about one particular tree and its seed.
Woodland Flowers and Life
Bluebell, foxglove, wood sorrel, violet, wild garlic flower and primrose stand here as six single wildflower stickers, soft and small rather than full bouquets, suited to the edge of a spring page.
Deer, squirrel, badger, chipmunk, moose and bear cub share this sheet, six woodland animals each drawn whole and standing or sitting rather than mid scene.
A craft knife helps with the thin legs on the deer and the moose, since scissors can catch on narrow curves and round them off. Keep this sheet next to the small creatures sheet further down if a page needs both a large animal and something tinier.
Water and Weather
A lily pad, a cattail, a frog, a dragonfly, a pebble and a duck make up this quiet water themed sheet, each object separate and ready to group along the bottom edge of a journal page like a shoreline.
Snowy peak, rocky ridge, pine forest patch, waterfall, mountain lake and a plain trail marker fill this sheet of larger landscape shapes rather than single small objects.
These suit the top of a hiking page or a travel journal spread better than a tiny sticker gap, since each piece reads best with a little room around it. Keep the trail marker plain, it works as a simple label sticker wherever you need one.
Sun, cloud, rainbow, raindrop, storm cloud and crescent moon sit together here, six small sky stickers that work well scattered across the top of any nature page to set the weather and the mood.
Small Creatures
Bumblebee, ladybird, butterfly, beetle, grasshopper and firefly make up this tiny sheet, each insect drawn large enough to cut cleanly despite the fine legs and antennae.
Scissors manage most of these fine, but a craft knife makes the beetle’s narrow legs and the grasshopper’s bent back leg much easier to free from the white background without snapping the paper. These brighten up the corner of any meadow or garden page.
A snail, a field mouse, a toad, a newt, a shrew and a mole round out the smaller side of the set, six gentle woodland creatures sized to tuck into the quiet corners of a journal spread.
Walks and Camping
Hiking boot, backpack, water bottle, compass, magnifier and a field guide with a blank cover make this sheet the practical one of the set, built for planner weeks and walk logs rather than pure decoration.
The blank field guide cover is deliberately plain, so you can write a short label on it once it is stuck down, a date or a trail name works well. This sheet pairs naturally with the mountains sheet for a full hiking page.
Campfire, log, lantern, tent, kettle and marshmallow finish the walks and camping section, six small camp objects that suit the bottom of an evening journal page after a day outdoors.
Fruit and Bloom
Blackberry bramble, wild strawberry, elderberry, rowan berry, blueberry and raspberry fill this sheet with six separate berry stickers, each one a small cluster rather than a single dot of fruit.
A five minute version works well here: print just this sheet on plain paper, cut out two or three berries, and tuck them into the corner of a handmade card for a quick seasonal touch with no other supplies needed.
Cherry tree, magnolia, dogwood, hawthorn, lilac bush and crabapple bloom together on this sheet, six flowering trees shown as full small trees rather than cut branches, suited to a spring page.
Dandelion, daisy, clover, grass tuft, poppy and buttercup make up the meadow sheet, six small ground level flowers and grasses that sit well along the bottom edge of a summer journal page.
If you want the loose, hand gathered look of a real meadow, print two copies of this sheet, mix the cut pieces together and scatter them in an uneven line rather than a tidy row. The nature doodles post has more ideas for filling a meadow page this way.
Birds and Sky Revisited
Twig nest, moss nest, blue egg, speckled egg, feather and hatchling complete this gentle sheet, six small spring objects that suit a card for a new baby just as well as a nature journal page.
Full moon, half moon, new moon, sunrise, sunset and a star fill this sheet with six small sky stickers, useful across the top of a planner week to mark the day’s light without any writing at all.
Leave the thin white edge around the sunrise and sunset especially, the soft colour blend at the horizon reads much better with a hair of white paper framing it than cut flush to the line.
Far From the Woods
Cactus, desert flower, lizard, rock arch, yucca and tumbleweed bring a dry landscape into the set, six stickers that suit a travel journal page about a desert trip far from the forest theme of the rest.
Pebble stack, geode, quartz point, river stone, fossil and gem close out the set, six small found object stickers for anyone who collects stones on a walk the way others collect pressed leaves.
Plain paper and a glue stick suit this sheet well since the shapes are simple and solid with few fine points to protect, so cutting is quick even with ordinary scissors. For more slow, detailed page ideas once the set is printed, the mandala coloring pages and observational drawing sketchbook posts are a good next stop.
What to Do Next
Pick one or two sheets that match the page in front of you, print them at actual size, and start cutting: the rest of the set will still be waiting for the next walk, the next season or the next card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these nature stickers printable sheets?
Printable sticker paper gives a true peel and stick finish for journals and planners. Plain paper and a glue stick give the same look for less cost, which suits practice pages or gift tags you only need once.
What printer settings give the sharpest lines?
Set the printer to the highest quality or photo setting and print at actual size with scaling turned off. This keeps the fine grey outlines crisp and stops the colours from printing too light to see.
How do I cut out small details like fern tips and insect legs?
A craft knife on a cutting mat handles narrow curves and legs far better than scissors, which tend to round off fine points. Leave a thin white border around each sticker rather than cutting exactly on the line.
Can I use these stickers on handmade cards as well as journals?
Yes, any sheet works on a card front, envelope seal or gift tag just as well as a journal page. Mix a tree or flower sticker with a short line of handwriting for a quick seasonal card.
How many sheets should I print at once?
Print only the sheets a current page needs rather than the whole set at once. Sticker paper and ink last longer that way, and you can add more sheets later as new journal pages call for them.
