Meet the Stickers That Pair Well with All Art Styles, Not Just Resin Art

Stickers. The word might take you back to school notebooks and childhood diaries. But in the world of grown-up art, stickers are more than decorative bling. They’re tools of texture, depth and storytelling. Whether you’re working with resin or experimenting with decoupage and mixed media, the right sticker can take your creation from “nice” to “what in the world, where did you get this?!”

What’s often overlooked is just how versatile these little accents can be. From metallic highlights to embossed motifs, stickers are no longer background players; they’re becoming the main character energy in a wide range of DIY and professional art forms.

Let’s dive into how you can make the most of them.

The Sticker Types That Artists Love

First, it helps to know what you’re working with. Tulsi Resin stocks a variety of stickers that aren’t just pretty, they’re practical across media.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Metal Stickers – Think mandalas, symbols, quotes in gold/silver tones. Great for layering and vintage aesthetics.

• Vinyl Stickers – Flexible, waterproof and perfect for surfaces like glass, wood, and acrylic.

• Embossed Stickers – Slightly raised with detailed textures. They bring in that “tactile” wow factor.

• Holographic Stickers – Bold, colorful and ever-changing in light, perfect for pop-art-inspired styles.

• Character or Theme Stickers – Butterflies, leaves, flowers, zodiacs, quotes, symbols, pre-designed for various moods and aesthetics.

Now, let’s see how these beauties can blend into the many art styles you already love.

1. Resin Art: The Classic Combo

Of course, resin art is the OG bestie of stickers.

From bookmarks to trays to charms, these stickers can go underneath, between, or on top of resin layers to add depth and personality.

• Want to make a zodiac-themed keychain? Use a metal zodiac sticker.

• Want your bookmarks to sparkle a little? Sandwich a mirror sticker between resin coats.

• Making a gift tray? Try layering embossed quote stickers with florals and pigment.

Just seal them well so the resin doesn’t smudge the detail and you’re golden.

2. Mixed Media Art: The Everything Art

Mixed media doesn’t play by any rules and that’s exactly why stickers work so well here.

• You can mix vinyl stickers with fabric scraps, stencils, and textured paints.

• Layer embossed florals or mandalas over painted wood panels.

• Add mirror cut-outs as light-catching focal points in your collage canvas.

It’s all about exploring textures and these stickers give you instant depth without the mess.

3. Decoupage: The Reinvention Queen

Decoupage artists know the pain of finding the “perfect element” to complete a layout. That’s where stickers shine.

• Stick butterflies or leaf motifs over your floral napkin designs.

• Use mirror borders for a clean edge on your trays or coasters. 

• Add tiny embossed symbols on the corners of jars, bottles, or wooden boxes.

These small touches can completely lift your finished look and they blend in beautifully with mod podge and varnish.

4. Scrapbooking & Card Making: The Sentimental Arts

Stickers already belong here, but with better materials, the possibilities are endless.

• Use metal quote stickers for anniversary or memory pages.

• Layer holographic flowers on birthday cards for drama and sparkle.

• Frame pictures or handwritten notes with vinyl and mirror accents.

If you love storytelling through your cards or journals, these stickers add flair without bulk.

5. Custom Decor & Signage: DIY with a Wow Factor

Whether you’re making welcome boards, small name plaques, or festival signs, stickers are the cleanest shortcut to a professional finish.

• Apply gold alphabets on wooden nameplates.

• Use mirror shapes on wedding decor boards.

• Accent mandirs, pooja thalis or festive trays with metal motifs or zodiacs.

No laser cutting. No painting. Just peel, place, seal and done.

6. Jewellery Making: The Surprise Entry

This one’s unexpected, but trust us, it works.

• Use tiny vinyl or metal stickers inside open bezels, sealed with UV resin.

• Make earrings with mirror stickers and colored foil.

• Try zodiac or spiritual symbols on round pendants for gift-ready pieces.

Who knew stickers could turn into jewellery that looks like it came from a craft boutique?

At first glance, a sticker might seem like a small detail. But in the hands of a creative artist, it’s the finishing touch that ties everything together.
