Avery - Outdoor Grade Vinyl
Transfer tape
12 oz double wall tumbler with lid and straw
My friend Wendi, aka Firewife, gave me a bunch of vinyl scraps. She has a friend that owns the local sign shop and she gets scraps from them and is gracious enough to share with me! *okie is so lucky to have such fabulous friends* I have this same brand of vinyl on my car that I made a decal from almost 3 years ago. It is still on the car but has faded due to the sun so I figure the vinyl on the cups should last fairly well.
It is very hard to take decent pictures of something clear! I took several shots hoping to show you guys how cute these cups turned out. I made two, one for my daughter and one for my eldest God Daughter. They absolutely loved them! My God Daughter was having a bit of a stressful day and I sent her a text and asked her "do you need some God Mommy cheer up" and told her I had something for. I was in the bathroom *okie wonders if that is TMI and decides everyone has to go to the bathroom so people should understand* when she came in and I heard her squeal. She told me "This so makes up for the rest of my day!"

I am not sure if I want to find more of these cups because I know if I do I will be addicted to putting vinyl on them!
Very cool! Love them! Great price on those cups. I found some at Bed Bath and Beyond. I had to have them I'm on a constant search for the perfect cup!LOL! I paid $16.99 per cup there though!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable, no wonder it made her happy! I'm still too chicken to actually try using the vinyl I have. Some day...
ReplyDeleteSo, if I find some more clear ones pretty cheap, you don't want them? Or am I supposed to call you anyway? LOL
ReplyDeleteThese turned out really cute! You know all the Chi Omega's are going to want one now!
Those are such cute tumblers!!! They are sooo adorable Okie!
ReplyDeleteThese are SO CUTE!!! I <3 owls and these are adorable!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese tumblers are darling!!! The little owls are so detailed. You did a great job! TFS.

Those are so darn cute. I'm thinking about my dd and doing some for her and her soriety little sis.
ReplyDeleteOMG Okie!!! I love these!!! Is layering vinyl hard?? There is so many things I would like to do with vinyl but always figured the layering part would be super duper hard. Great job!! Oh and by the way not TMI on the potty break. I have chrons disease! I could really share some war stories with ya hahahahaha (ok NOW that might be TMI you think!) Hugs, Leanne
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I just picked up one of these cups at Kohl's (on sale of course). Maybe I should personalize it with some vinyl. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLeanne the layering isn't really hard since I don't do anything really big. I used some transfer tape to do the layers so I could like them up better. I did the lettering by hand by just holding the top layer with tweezerbees and then positioning and applying.
ReplyDeleteNice 'hooters' LOL! Okay,not sure why that popped into my head when I saw these but since I know you have a sense of humor, thought I'd fly with it. Great job on the vinyl. Transfer tape is the key then? I need to grab some of that for my next go.
ReplyDeleteOk, you must be the two coming to the Michaels in Norman and buying up all the good stuff! I have been looking for these forever! Yours are just too cute! I love reading your blog you crack me up!

just2ducky...that has to be my favorite comment EVER!! ROTFLMAO
ReplyDeleteLove these cups ... they turned out so adorable with their bright and vibrant colors (great layering on these ... that gives them an extra special look).
ReplyDeleteJust curious ... were you able to put the vinyl between the walls of the glasses? Looking at the up close image, it looks like they are on the outside ... and if they are on the outside, I was just wondering how they will stand up to lots of use and washing. But then, if this same vinyl has been on your car for 3 years or more, these should hold up pretty well too, right?
Hugz,

Awesome - love the colors and the detail, and I can see why your girls were delighted. And great photos too.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have some ideas for gifts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese give me a perfect idea. I hope my Michael's has them. I Love how these turned out. TFS, Smooches... scrapperinthemaking.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThese turned out super cool Okie! I have a tumbler I got at wally World a few months back... has blue and green spots on it.... I'm planning on dressing it up a bit for my monthly crops.... I got it because one of my friends accidently spilled my coke all over my cards... She damaged 4 of my cards I was making that night... but it was enough to make me find something to fix the spilling issue... Haven't had any accidents since! :O)
ReplyDeleteYou probably don't know that I'm a Chi Omega and therefore, must have one of those cups immediately...LOL! Those are so darn cute I can't stand it!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Okie! You are amazing!
Hugs, Joy
Love your idea!! These are absolutely awesome! I need to get my hand on some vinyl-stat!! My son is playing in a new band and We-the parents want to advertise for them, and this would be an awesome idea!-Thanks for the post!-Raquel @ raquelsdesigns.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteDo you place the vinyl on the outside of the tumbler? Will it wash ok?
ReplyDeleteThe vinyl does go on the outside. I use outdoor grade vinyl and tell people to make sure to handwash.
