DIY Coffee Cup

Hi Guys!


As you all probably know by now, especially if you follow me on social media, i love coffee.

Recently i discovered a new love of mine, DIY coffee cups. I started out by doing some with oil based sharpie markers, which turned out ok. But then i got a Cricut and oh my gosh how fun it is to create different designs on that thing. I'm now totally obsessed with using it to create DIY coffee cups.

Here's a recent cup i did with my Cricut.




See what i mean? Isn't that adorable?! It says "This Day is Powered by Coffee".

Today i thought i would show you both ways (Sharpie and Cricut) to create fun DIY coffee cups. P.S. With the holidays coming up in a few short months, these would make great gifts for anyone (not just coffee drinkers)...

Method #1 - Made With Oil Based Sharpies

Supplies needed:

White Coffee Cup (you can get these for like $0.88 at Walmart)
Oil Based Sharpies

Step 1: Decorate cup with sharpie markers.
Step 2: Let it sit for a few hours. You could even leave it overnight
Step 3: Bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. *Tip: put the cup in the oven before turning oven on and leave it in the oven until the oven cools completely, to avoid cracks.*
Step 4: Hand wash and enjoy!




Method #2 - Made With Cricut

Supplies needed:

White Coffee Cup (you can get these for like $0.88 at Walmart)
Cricut (I have this one)
Vinyl (for this project i used Midnight)
Cricut cutting mat
Cricut Vinyl Transfer Tape
Free SVG file 

Step 1: Download the free SVG file, then open Cricut Design Space and upload the file to it.
Step 2: Once you have decided what size you want it, let your Cricut do all the cutting.
Step 3: Remove all the excess vinyl then transfer your design over to the transfer tape.
Step 4: Apply design to coffee cup with transfer tape. Then discard transfer tape.
Step 5: Enjoy!




I hope you enjoyed this fun DIY Coffee Cups post, as much as i enjoyed making them!
