This month I found a cute plastic cup and thought it would be perfect for my iced coffee. I just needed to spice it up a bit. Follow this super easy tutorial and customize a cup, mug or anything with my free cut file!
SUPPLIES
- Free SVG Cut File (download it here)
- Permanent Vinyl (I used Oracal 651)
- Transfer Tape
- Weeding Tool
- Cutting Machine (I use a Cricut)
- Cutting Mat
- Double Wall Plastic Tumbler (I got mine from the Dollar Tree!)
STEP 1
Download the free SVG cut file and upload it to Cricut space.
STEP 2
Resize the cut file to fit your cup. I sized mine to 3.07 x 4.2. Select all of the lettering and click attach so the letters stay in place.
STEP 3
Cut your vinyl and place it on the cutting mat. Load the cutting mat into the Cricut and press go!
STEP 4
After it’s done cutting pull the vinyl off the mat and start weeding! Don’t forget to weed the middle of the o’s, a’s, g’s, e’s etc.
STEP 5
Use the transfer tape to pick up the lettering you just cut and place it on the cup. You should use a squeegeeing or a credit card to flatten out any bubbles or wrinkles.
You’re done! Now go show-off your love for coffee with your cute new cup!
After you finish the project, don’t forget to post on social media using the hashtags #SimplyCraftey and #GetCraftey and post on Craftey’s Finished Projects so we can see what you made!
