Note: Here’s a helpful tip for your stickers: If you want to use them on a coffee mug or a water bottle, grab some waterproof sticker paper so they last forever and don’t get damaged! For all your other projects—like decorating a planner or a notebook—you can use regular sticker paper, which is a more affordable option that works just as well.

How to Create Your Own Holographic Day of the Dead Stickers:
1. Download and Print Your Stickers
First, download the Día de Muertos Stickers PDF here or by clicking the image below. Print the file onto your printable sticker paper.
2. Rough-Cut Your Stickers
After you print your stickers, cut around each shape, leaving a small border around each design. By cutting them into smaller shapes now, you'll avoid wasting holographic laminate and prevent air bubbles when you apply it.
3. Carefully Apply the Laminate
Peel the protective paper from the holographic laminate and place it on a table with the adhesive side facing up. Now, take your rough-cut stickers and, with the printed side facing down, carefully place them onto the laminate.
Using your fingertips or a plastic card, gently press each sticker to make sure it adheres well and to smooth out any air bubbles.
4. The Final Cut
Now that your stickers have their holographic protective layer, it's time for the final cut! Using your scissors, carefully remove the extra border and follow the sticker's shape more precisely. You'll see how the holographic, sparkly effect gives your stickers a unique touch!
And just like that, you'll have some cute, adhesive stickers that sparkle and are also protected from water for all your Día de Muertos inspired projects.
