CS2 Sticker Crafts: A Nike Logo, a Sharingan and a Crane with Worms – 10 New Ideas and How to Make Them
All 32 PGL Major Singapore invites are out, kickoff is less than three weeks away, and a fresh batch of stickers is expected by mid-November. Valve hasn’t shown anything yet, but crafters aren’t exactly waiting around. While the market tries to guess what Singapore stickers will look like, players keep squeezing everything they can out of what’s already in the game, finding new ideas even on skins that seemed fully explored.
We picked ten fresh crafts that caught our eye. Each one comes with a full recipe and prices, so you can build your favorite in your own inventory.
Blood Tears Craft
- MAC-10 | Sakkaku (Field-Tested) – $0.82
- x2 Sticker | IEM | Cologne 2026 (95% scratched) – $0.48 (each)
- Sticker | Fluxo | Paris 2023 – $0.03
- x2 Sticker | 3DMAX (Glitter) | Shanghai 2024 (95% scratched) – $0.35 (each)
Total: ~$2.51
The internet is already overflowing with crafts of this anime girl, yet people keep finding new things to do with her. This time her pupils are flooded solid black, leaving you unsure whether you’re looking at a demon or a machine, while the 3DMAX stickers turn into blood streaming from her eye sockets. At 95% scratched, all that’s left of the logos is a torn red splatter, and you’d never guess it started out as a team sticker. The result is properly creepy, and the whole thing, skin included, costs less than three bucks.
Nike Craft
- USP-S | Whiteout (Minimal Wear) – $88.38
- x2 Sticker | Knife Streak (Holo) (70% scratched) – $0.63 (each)
- x2 Sticker | WARNING (95% scratched) – $2.16 (each)
- Sticker | Fluxo (Holo) | Paris 2023 – $1.67
Total: ~$95.63
In one of our earlier C4 roundups, we showed you how to make an Adidas logo. Now it’s the Nike crowd’s turn: that unmistakable swoosh shimmers on the snow-white slide of the Whiteout. The skin is close to a blank canvas already, so the rainbow sheen of the holo pulls your eye straight to it, while the scratched WARNING stickers turn white and trim away everything around the logo. Sure, the final result looks a little like a knockoff from a flea market, but then again, we don’t buy our skins from Nike. We buy them on the Steam Market.
Queen of the Sea Craft
- AK-47 | The Empress (Field-Tested) – $123.34
- x4 Sticker | Liquid Fire – $7.73 (each)
- Sticker | Monte | Paris 2023 (80% scratched) – $0.02
Total: ~$154.28
Here’s another crafter favorite. The Empress has already been a warrior Amazon and the goddess Athena, and she’s a regular at the salon, walking out with a new hairstyle every time. This craft does it all at once: her hair turns a glittering blue, and a trident crown makes her a ruler of the seas who’d give Poseidon himself second thoughts. The Liquid Fire name works in the craft’s favor too, since in blue, those curls of liquid flame read as ocean waves. The finishing touch is a single sticker that costs two cents.
Flame Trim Craft
- USP-S | Bleeding Edge (Factory New) – $5.35
- x5 Sticker | High Heat – $0.70 (each)
Total: ~$8.85
This is a type of craft we have a real soft spot for: simple and tasteful. The skin keeps its vibe but gets more interesting thanks to the flames along its edges. Admit it, this is no longer just a red skin for a few bucks, it’s a proper piece of art with some attitude. The five stickers cover five zones: both ends of the suppressor, both ends of the slide and the base of the grip. Against the dark red, the yellow-orange hot rod flames look like they came with the skin.
Crane Family Craft
- AK-47 | Crane Flight (Field-Tested) – $16.34
- x2 Sticker | Early Bird (Foil) (100% scratched) – $0.55 (each)
- x2 Sticker | Eyes In The Sky (Foil) (100% scratched) – $1.77 (each)
Total: ~$20.98
This is one of the freshest bangers in the sticker craft world, and the community has fallen for it hard. We’ve already shown you a few ideas for this skin, from delicate flowers on the tree branches to painting the entire handguard gold or silver. This time, nobody repainted the handguard. All the attention goes where it belongs, to the crane, who has decided to feed its chicks a couple of plump worms. Three yellow chicks are perched right on the branch, and the Early Bird name is a nod to the old saying about who gets the worm. Here, it comes true quite literally. We don’t know about you, but for us this is one of the most interesting crafts in a while: it doesn’t just change the look, it adds a whole story.
Sharingan Craft
- USP-S | Silent Shot (Factory New) – $2.03
- Sticker | Hypnoteyes (Holo) (100% scratched) – $0.82
- Sticker | Clown Nose (100% scratched) – $0.26
- x2 Sticker | Sent With Love (100% scratched) – $0.11 (each)
- Sticker | Fluxo | Paris 2023 – $0.03
Total: ~$3.36
In one of our earlier roundups we featured Kakashi, and if you’ve watched Naruto, you know his Sharingan was a gift from a friend, not a birthright from the Uchiha clan. The character on this skin probably isn’t an Uchiha either, but he got his Sharingan all the same. It looks remarkably convincing, and anime fans are going to love it. Silent Shot is already on theme, with a shuriken on the grip and kanji on the suppressor, so the red eye feels like a natural extension of the design rather than an add-on. And all the stickers together cost just $1.33.
Street Tags Craft
- AK-47 | Midnight Laminate (Minimal Wear) – $6.84
- Sticker | ChildKing | Shanghai 2024 (70% scratched) – $0.48
- Sticker | Kaze | Shanghai 2024 (70% scratched) – $0.23
- Sticker | somebody | Shanghai 2024 (70% scratched) – $0.34
- Sticker | L1haNg | Shanghai 2024 (70% scratched) – $0.42
- Sticker | Summer | Shanghai 2024 (70% scratched) – $0.40
Total: ~$8.71
Rare Atom sat out the Cologne Major, missed Singapore too, and with BC.Game moving into the Asian region, the road back only got harder. Their purple autographs from the Shanghai Major, on the other hand, look fantastic and sit perfectly on the purple body of the Midnight Laminate. The skin now feels like street art, as if a crew of writers left their signature tags on it. The 70% scratch is what sells it: the signatures lose their sharpness and look hastily scrawled in neon marker. The handguard and stock stay clean, so all five autographs gather on the receiver like tags on an alley wall.
Blue Skulls Craft
- USP-S | Royal Guard (Factory New) – $5.31
- x5 Sticker | Radiograph (Holo) (100% scratched) – $1.91 (each)
Total: ~$14.86
Here’s one more way to turn a boring, fairly cheap skin into something more interesting and personal. Five skulls on the suppressor carry over the color of the slide. What used to be a plain black tube with no detail at all now looks like a row of X-rays. The stickers cost nearly twice as much as the skin, but they’re what the whole look rests on.
Nitro Craft
- Desert Eagle | Eastern Enigma (Field-Tested) – $18.53
- x5 Sticker | NITRO! (Lenticular) – $6.81 (each)
Total: ~$52.58
This is one of those rare cases where not only the colors line up, but the vibe does too. The NITRO! stickers slot neatly into the pistol’s chaotic design, giving its mysterious, hard-to-define character a racing streak. They overlap like sponsor logos on a race car, and the orange lettering adds a bright accent to the blue-purple body. Whether that’s good or bad is hard to say, but this craft took us back to the days when stickers could only go in fixed spots and everything depended on how well they matched the skin. Respect to the old-school crafters.
Budget Fade Craft
- Glock-18 | Moonrise (Factory New) – $3.04
- Sticker | Vitality (Holo, Ranked) | Cologne 2026 – $6.05
- Sticker | NRG (Holo, Ranked) | Cologne 2026 – $4.75
- x2 Sticker | BetBoom (Holo, Ranked) | Cologne 2026 – $4.75 (each)
- Sticker | THUNDERdOWNUNDER (Holo, Ranked) | Cologne 2026 – $7.45
Total: ~$30.79
You’ve almost certainly seen yet another “budget Glock-18 | Fade” craft by now. So you can come back to the idea whenever you like, we’ve written the recipe down. We recommend hunting for a Moonrise pattern with the star on the front side for a little extra exclusivity. The whole trick lies in the sticker order: five holos in a row create a gradient along the slide, from yellow through red and pink to purple.
