Custom Sticker Combination Tutorial #33: the All-Seeing Eye

BUFFAssistant

Today, I’m walking you through some of these skin-craft ideas to get the ball rolling and hopefully spark some even better craft concepts of your own!

the All-Seeing Eye · CT main rifle

This craft uses three SAW stickers and one Ethereal Gaze. Use the three triangle-shaped SAW stickers to build the pyramid, then center the eye to finish the setup. Since SAW is an equilateral triangle, you can freely scale this craft up or down during the build by overlapping parts of the stickers. Just pick the size you like best. Since CT main rifles have a more squared-off body area, they can fit a proper upright triangle. Gold stickers work well on embossed-style skins, while for hand-drawn-style finishes, you should choose different SAW styles based on the skin.

And because it’s a Glitter sticker, it reflects light at certain angles, which makes the craft look even better.

Different styles work with stickers that have different traits. For example, the white-toned Urban DDPAT pairs well with the regular SAW sticker.

the All-Seeing Eye · AK-47

Because the AK-47 body is slimmer than a CT main rifle, there isn’t much room on the gun to fit an upright triangle △. So for the AK-47’s long, narrow shape, you can go with an inverted-triangle version of the All-Seeing Eye. The craft works the same way: rotate the SAW sticker to form the upside-down triangle. You can still adjust the triangle’s size within the available space to your liking, while Ethereal Gaze stays upright. This setup works well on embossed-style skins.

This combo also looks incredibly strong in darker lighting:

All-Seeing Star

Wow! Gold! Legendary! (Actually, it’s a Holo sticker)

For this innocent-eye look, you can also use the little bee sticker to craft an All-Seeing Star, with the eye shown in the center. You’ll need four Vitality stickers—here, go with Paris 2023 Team Vitality—and one Ethereal Gaze. Frame it with the four Vitality stickers for a setup that fits occult-style skins.

Holo stickers have a color-shifting effect, so they look different depending on the angle.

‌

IHC Esports Rune

A neat way to use IHC Esports in crafts: go with the Rio IHC Esports. The CS2 Rio Gold sticker can be scraped down fairly cleanly, and two IHC Esports stickers can be placed facing each other to work with different patterns. Whether you place them horizontally or vertically, the Gold sticker brings its own metallic shine and works well with yellow-toned skins or embossed-style finishes.

‌

Big Red Flower

The big red flower craft uses four Dark Eldar 1 stickers and one Clown Nose sticker. Place the four Dark Eldar 1 stickers around it as the petals, with Clown Nose sitting in the center as the flower’s core.

‌

Handguard Styling · M4

An M4 handguard craft based on Buzz Kill. You’ll need four to five Paris 2023 Apeks stickers, applied in alternating normal and flipped orientations across the handguard. This sticker has a strong color-shift effect, and on the Source 2 engine M4, the stickers placed on the handguard will also project onto the model finish behind it.

‌

Handguard Customization · AK-47

A classic makes an appearance! This time, we’re using the most requested Safari Mesh as the “model” and showing you how to use the “Easy Money” sticker to create a bandage-wrapped handguard. This sticker is fairly wide, so five of them are enough to cover the handguard. Apply them in the order shown, with each strip overlapping the next to build up that layered look. They say old-school CS players are pretty likely to have a Safari Mesh sitting in their inventory, and plenty of newer players also spent their early days with this skin by their side.

‌

Safari Mesh uses the new model, but you can also make the stripe setup on the old model, including a Holo stripe craft, for example:

Cartel with a Holo stripe Assassin. Assassin and Easy Money have similar proportions, so you can use Assassin to build a Holo version of the stripe.

‌

The in-game look is the same as the Safari Mesh striped version, so there’s no need to show it again here. If you’ve got a good craft idea, feel free to submit it to the Player Showcase community~
