custom sticker crafts pairing tutorial #22: Beautifying and Modifying New Skins
It’s been almost a week since the update, and plenty of CS players have probably already picked up some of the new skins in-game—some from drops, some from cases. These new skins already look great, but stickers can make them stand out even more. Let’s check out more ways to style the new skins:
School of Fish
Zeus x27 + Tozai features a koi fish in the finish, so pairing it with a school of fish just makes sense. Four Sticker | Jaggyfish in different colors all work really well on this Zeus x27, and the black Sticker | Jaggyfish blends perfectly into the background color in particular. Pick a few Sticker | Jaggyfish and place them next to the koi as shown in the image, then scrape it all the way down to scrape to reveal the Easter egg.
Trendy Hairstyle
For a scene/emo-style Shinobu craft, you can do more than just a cool, edgy combo—you can actually build her hairstyle into the skin. The Glock gives you a lot of freedom with stickers, and you can even place them on top of the slide, so this is a good spot to try a more advanced craft using five Sticker | No-Pat Holo stickers, though the cost is fairly high. Flip them before applying them, and they end up looking like the character’s pink choppy bangs.
The Glock gives you more freedom with sticker placement than the MAC-10, so the hairstyle illusion you can pull off on Shinobu doesn’t work here.
The exact combo you pair with it might not matter that much. What really matters is realizing just how much freedom the Glock gives you here, which should open up even more ways to dress up this stunning skin.
Besides the pink Holo version of Sticker | No-Pat, there’s also a green Paper version. The green one leans even harder into that scene/emo-style look, with a green seaweed-like haircut vibe.
Sticker | Toxic Energy
A green Glitter explosion-style craft paired with a green skin. You’ll need four Sticker | Detonation stickers and one Sticker | Toxic. The green variant of Sticker | Detonation has a Glitter finish, then place a Sticker | Toxic in the center where the Sticker | Detonation stickers meet. Finally, line the last Sticker | Detonation up with the skin’s pattern and place it toward the front of the weapon body.
Burgundy Desert Eagle | Blaze
A burgundy Deagle with a Desert Eagle | Blaze-style look! The purple Deagle pairs really well with the pink Sticker | No-Pat Holo stickers, with the dark skin contrasting nicely against the brighter stickers.
Purple AK Crafts
This AK pairs a purple body with a dark teal handguard, and you can use stickers to turn that handguard into a full purple look. Use five purple Sticker | Web stickers for the combo. The sticker has a clean, regular shape, so it works well for effectively “recoloring” the handguard—just lay them across the handguard one by one to finish the craft.
Green AK Crafts
Besides the purple AK, the new solid-color series also includes a green AK, so you can also use stickers to rework the handguard on the green AK. For example, you could use Rio 2022 Stickers or other green stickers; here, Sticker | Stone Scales is the pick. Spread them evenly across the handguard, and the green-themed AK craft is done.
However, the gold Glitter version of Sticker | Stone Scales can also turn this skin into the gold-inlaid jade look crafted by Player Showcase creator jjzz10086!

Use the same approach as the green handguard setup above and cover it with Glitter stickers. The gold stickers on the dark green AK create a gold-inlaid jade look.
Rainbow Train
Ride the rainbow train all the way into the clouds! This craft is also really simple: just apply Sticker | Rainbow Trail along the lower side of the body to dress it up. For the last sticker, scrape it to reveal the first Easter egg, which looks like a trail of sliding rainbow particles.
You can also place a car on the rainbow, anywhere along it:
It's Prof. Shahmat | Elite Crew rushing to catch the ride!
