Hanukkah is a festival of light, family and good food, and the small details make it feel special: a glowing menorah on the window, a spinning dreidel on the table, a plate of golden latkes. Printable stickers are a lovely way to bring those details into your cards, planners, gift tags and craft projects. In this guide I'll show you how to print and use printable Hanukkah stickers, which paper to choose, and how to get the most from my Hanukkah Sticker Sheets, a vintage watercolor set that comes as a PDF plus four transparent PNG files. In 2026, Hanukkah begins in the evening of 4 December and ends in the evening of 12 December, so there is plenty of time to prepare.
What are the Hanukkah Sticker Sheets?
This is a set of four vintage watercolor stickers, each one inspired by a classic Hanukkah tradition:
- A silver menorah with nine glowing candles.
- A blue dreidel with a Star of David and a Hebrew letter, resting on a pile of golden gelt coins.
- A plate of golden latkes with a small bowl of applesauce.
- A sufganiyah, a jelly doughnut with powdered sugar, a blue star and jam peeking out.
The designs use soft blues, silvers and golds, which look elegant on cards, planners and gift wrapping and fit beautifully with a cream or white background.
What's included in the download
The download contains a printable PDF with ready-to-print sticker pages, plus separate PNG files for cutting machines:
- Page 1: four large stickers, one of each design.
- Page 2: eight medium stickers, two of each design.
- Page 3: sixteen mini stickers, four of each design.
- Four transparent PNG files, one for each sticker, to resize or use with a cutting machine.
- A short How to Use page.
In total, that is 28 stickers across the three printed pages in three sizes, so you can choose the right size for a card, a tag or a planner cover.
How to print your stickers, step by step
- Choose your paper. Print the sticker pages on sticker paper, matte or glossy. Matte gives a soft vintage look. Glossy makes the blues and golds shine.
- Print at the right size. The pages are US Letter size. Print at 100% scale and turn "fit to page" off.
- Use high quality. In your printer settings, choose the best quality and the paper type that matches your sticker paper.
- Let the ink dry. Wait a few minutes before touching or cutting the sheet.
- Cut along the edge. Use scissors, or a cutting machine with the PNG files.
- Peel and stick. Use them on planners, journals, cards, gift tags, water bottles and laptops.
Which sticker paper is best?
- Printable matte sticker paper is perfect for cards, planners and journals, with a soft, paper-like finish.
- Waterproof vinyl sticker paper is sturdier and a good choice for stickers on water bottles, laptops and other things that are handled often. Make sure it matches your printer type, inkjet or laser.
Print one test page on plain paper first, so you can check the size and colours before using sticker paper.
How to cut your stickers
Cutting by hand is quiet and relaxing. Follow the sticker edge slowly and leave a thin white border, just like store-bought stickers. A pair of small craft scissors with a fine tip makes the curves of the menorah and the plate much easier.
If you own a cutting machine, use the four transparent PNG files from the download. You can resize each one in your machine's software and cut as many as you need.

Gift tags and wrapping ideas
Hanukkah gift-giving can happen over eight nights, which makes small, pretty tags especially useful. Take plain kraft gift tags, add a mini menorah or dreidel sticker, and write each person's name by hand. For wrapping, blue and silver gift wrap pairs beautifully with the watercolor blues and golds of the stickers, so each present looks carefully put together.
The traditions behind the four designs
Each sticker in the set reflects something many families enjoy during Hanukkah, which makes them meaningful as well as pretty.
- The menorah is lit over eight nights, adding one candle each night, with a helper candle used to light the others. It is the heart of the celebration.
- The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top, played by children and adults alike. Each side carries a Hebrew letter, and the game is often played with gelt, the chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil.
- Latkes are crispy potato pancakes fried in oil, usually served with applesauce or sour cream.
- Sufganiyot are soft, jam-filled doughnuts dusted with powdered sugar, another fried treat enjoyed during the festival.
Because the foods are fried in oil, they connect to the story of the festival, and because the menorah brings light into winter evenings, the stickers feel warm and welcoming on every card and tag.
Planning your eight nights with stickers
If you give a small gift each night, a few simple tags and a calendar page can make it easy to stay organised. Print the mini stickers and place one on each of the eight nights in your planner. Use the medium stickers to decorate the tags, and keep a short list of who gets which present on which night. You can also use one large sticker as the cover of a small family journal, where everyone writes a line about their favourite moment from each night. At the end of the festival, you will have a lovely keepsake to read again next year.
Which size is best for which project?
- Large stickers (page 1): the front of a card, a planner cover, a journal page, a water bottle or a laptop.
- Medium stickers (page 2): gift tags, envelope seals, weekly planner headers and invitations.
- Mini stickers (page 3): dates in a calendar, small cards, treat bags and little accents on a page.
A simple craft evening for the family
Here is an easy plan for an evening with family or friends. Print one page of each size, make tea or cocoa and put on some music. Let each person cut out a few stickers. Start with the large ones and use them to decorate a card for a relative. Then use the medium ones to make gift tags for the eight nights, and finish with the mini stickers on a calendar to count the nights together. It is a calm, creative activity that children can enjoy, and it gets everyone in the mood for the festival.
