The holidays are the perfect time to add a little extra sparkle to everything—yes, even your printables and napkins! Whether you’re dressing up a printable gift tag, a festive napkin, or even something store-bought, a few simple techniques can turn basic items into showstopping pieces. Here are my favorite ways to add dimension, shimmer, and holiday cheer!

Add Shimmer with Stickles

Stickles are my go-to for creating texture and shimmer! These glittery glue pens come in a variety of colors and are perfect for:

• Highlighting designs on printables, like snowflakes or lettering.
• Adding sparkle to the edges of napkins for an elegant touch.
• Creating dots, lines, or patterns to mimic holiday lights or ornaments.

Use Paint Pens for Fine Details

Paint pens are a game-changer for adding precise details. You can:

• Outline gift tags for a polished look.
• Add metallic accents, like gold or silver, to elevate any design.
• Write personalized messages or names for a custom feel.

Embellish with Add-Ons

Take your creations to the next level by adding embellishments:

• Ribbon or Twine: Attach a small ribbon or twine bow to printables or napkins for a sweet touch.
• Mini Jingle Bells: Glue these onto gift tags for a playful holiday vibe.
• Buttons or Beads: Use these to create 3D details, like ornaments on a printable tree or berries on holly.

Personalize Store-Bought Finds

Even items from big box stores can shine with a little creativity:

• Add Stickles to the edges of home decor pieces for a festive upgrade.
• Use paint pens to write names or holiday phrases on inexpensive gift tags.
• Layer a printable design over a store-bought card to create a custom piece.
