{DIY} Back To School Tumblers

Nikki · August 6, 2013 · 94 Comments

I’ve had these adorable tumblers in my stash of “goodies to embellish” for months, (I grabbed them off of Pick Your Plum at the start of the summer!) and was so excited to dig them out for this week’s project. I’ve got a super simple DIY for adding vinyl to them with a Silhouette cutting system and scrap vinyl…no large pieces required! (You’ll also get a super quick intro to the offset feature in your Silhouette software…a great tool for “fattening up” those thin fonts!) 

Enjoy,

Nikki, In Stitches

These DIY tumblers couldn’t be easier to make, and the best part is the design is done from scratch. No need to buy anything from the Silhouette online store or another graphics site…you can do this one all by yourself!

First, measure the circumference of your tumbler. For me, it was about 8 1/2″…that’s with a little bit of overlap. We’ll work off of that number for this post, but you can adjust it to fit your tumbler or water bottle accordingly.

Note: The part of my tumblers that I am adhering the vinyl to is straight up and down. This how-to will not work if your cups or tumblers are slanted, i.e. larger at the top than at the bottom. You would need to curve your text, and that’s something we’ll save for another post! However, if you can’t find tumblers like these, don’t stress! This same design would look adorable on a thermos (often straight up and down like these tumblers!) or even a lunch box or plastic pencil case!

In your Silhouette software, click on the “Draw A Line” button and draw three horizontal lines, each your desired length. (Again, for me, it’s 8 1/2″.)

Now click on the “Open The Line Style Window” at the top right of your software.

Be sure your top line is selected. Keep your line solid, but adjust the line thickness to 3.75. You’ll also want to be sure that you’ve selected “Corner” for your “Corner Style” and “Flat” for your “End Cap Style.” Take a look at the screenshot below to see exactly how I have my line adjusted. Make these same adjustments to your bottom line as well!

Now select your center line. You will adjust this line the exact same way, except you’d like this one to be dashed. I used the fourth option down in the “Line Style” options box.

Click the “Open The Cut Style Window” from the top right of your Silhouette software. One at a time, select each of your lines, and then select “Cut Edge” from the “Cut Style” options.

Now we’ve got our lines…let’s add some text!

I used a free font I found called Learning Curve. Using that font, or any other you’d like, type the name you’re going to put on your tumbler.

As you can see, this font is a little on the thin side, which is fine, but just not for cutting vinyl. So I fattened it up a bit using the “Offset” feature of the Silhouette software.

To do so, be sure your name is selected. Then go to the top left of your screen and select the “Object.” Select “Offset” from the drop down menu that appears.

With a little bit of playing around, I found that if I adjust the offset distance to .02 (yes, I know that’s tiny!) it gave me almost an exact replica of the name, just thicker!

Delete out the original text, so you are just left with “thickened” name, and enlarge it to your desired size. For me, I wanted my finished name to be about 1 1/2″ high.

Adjust the distance between your three horizontal lines to fit your text!

From here it’s just a matter of cutting and transferring your vinyl. Cut your lines first from white (or whatever color you’d like) and use transfer paper to adhere them to your tumbler. Then cut your name (again, from whatever color you’d like…in my case, black) and transfer it to your tumbler! Super easy!

    I always loved shopping for school supplies. I always wanted to be a lawyer so it felt like I was shopping for my office and I would pretend in a make shift office (my bedroom closet). it actually had a little shelf.

    Miss Cox, my English teacher in 9th grade, 50 years ago, was my favorite teacher. Not because she was young, blonde, curvaceous, or even because she owned a little red sports car. i liked her because she first liked me. Not only that, but she liked teaching and was good at it. i will never forget Miss Cox.

    I loved school supply shopping! I still have a thing for pens or notebooks. Some fun memories are from high school. We had sororities and during pledge, sisters made us do crazy things. Some that stuck out were not shaving our legs for a week or no makeup. Really??!!! Talk about embarrassing! I wouldn’t have normally been caught without makeup or prickly legs! Ha. Fast forward now and if I have on makeup or wear something other than workout clothes my husbands looks at me like I have 2 heads! Haha. By the way, Id love that silhouette!!! 🙂

    Hi Nikki,

    I loved high school, it was a time were I got to learn and do new things. I took a jewelry class and learned how to cast sliver. I also was in a school play along with learning how to drive and get my FREEDOM behind a wheel. I just learned you had to try new things and discover ME ! I started to learn my interest and talents.

    I think college years were the best. I finally knew who I was and was much more comfortable with me. I loved the small classes and the class discussion vs lecture. I took 2 extra years to graduate undergrad and really appreciated what I learned. 10 years after undergrad I went back to grad school and loved it. I love buying notebooks/journals and pens/pencils/ect to go along with them. I would love a cameo!

    These are spectacular. I love the versatility of the Cameo and all the fun ideas I am seeing people share with vinyl. A bit “jelly” to be honest, since I don’t have one yet 🙂 but appreciate all the inspiration people share. These are a great idea for a return to school project for my son, Lance Jr., or even for my newest Kindergartner, Ariana! Thanks for the tips Nikki. Loved the “mix up” with the giveaway questions, too 🙂

    I hated school!!! I was always shy, did not have many friends. In first grade we were going to have to stand in front of class at an easel to do a painting. The teacher called on me to be first and I was scared out of my wits and said I did not want to be first. So she made a big scene and said if I wouldn’t be first then I could be last. I hated that teacher. The one teacher I did like was in fifth grade–Mrs Frankenwicz. She was an older lady and oh, so nice. In high school, I hated the beginning of every new year, cause all the teachers would say “Oh, so you are Pam’s sister”. I never had a name, I was always Pam’s sister.

    I still love back to school time! I loved it as a child and I love it as an Instructional Assistant. I love to see all of the eager Kindergarteners as they come to school each year ready for public school. For a lot of our students this is their first introduction to school. We live in an economically depressed area and a lot of our students have not been exposed to preschool or day care. This is truly an eye-opener for them!

    My favorite teacher was my math and P.E. teacher in junior high. Mr. McCully had a way of making EVERY student feel special. Teachers can’t do this today, but he and his wife had every single one of his math classes over for a class Christmas party each year, complete with presents for all of the students. He was the type of teacher that followed up with you long after you’d left his class, always anxious to hear what you had done with your life. Even this last year, about 25 years after having had him as a teacher, he stopped by my father’s dental office to ask him about how I was doing and what the “lastest and greatest” was. Talk about an inspirational teacher!

    I really loved school! With all of my wonderful teachers & friends, I eagerly anticipated the beginning of each new year. This anticipation & excitement continued throughout my 32 years of teaching k-2nd grades!
    To ease nervous little ones at the “Meet & Greets”, I would let them in on a secret about teachers being more nervous than their students because, “Teachers meet a big, new group of children & parents…while they only have to meet me!” This would always get a smile!
    Now retired, I miss the hustle and bustle of preparing my room, getting fresh supplies, & receiving all the hugs and smiles from my little ones! School years are exciting years which pass much too swiftly! I’m lucky that my 19 mo. old grand-daughter loves to draw, sing, count, & read books together. I plan to really enjoy it all over again!

She made me so excited to go to school every single day. It is because of her that I have such love for literature to this day.

We would go to a couple different stores to make sure we found the perfect backpack and lunch box and then would go somewhere to eat. Then my sister and I would come home and play “store” where we would use our stuffed animals as kids and buy all the supplies again! If only that excitement for school and new supplies could last all the way through grad school 🙂

    I always enjoyed getting a new book bag each year. I started using it for more than a year as I got older.

    I still have a deep love for school supplies lol. My favorite supply was actually binders.. I love them! I had one for each class, one for extra paper, and extra binders just in case! Still love them too. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

    I loved the third grade but college was the best. I was able to study abroad and I saw parts of the world that I dreamt of and awed over in films. But shopping for back to school is the best- I love seeing all the new designs and goodies. Awesome giveaway!

    I remember getting a large box of crayons when I was in grade school that I was so proud of but one day they got all wet so my mom had a great idea, she put them in a warm oven to dry, well you can guess what happened. I was very upset but was able to get new ones to replace the ones that melted 🙂

    My kids got the “letter” today. You know, the that tells you which teacher you have? It reminded me how big of a deal that was…then the calls to friends to find out if you knew anyone in your class. I always loved the start of a new school year-why can’t the real world have a reset every so often?

I mean like I literally lost myself. I’ve been in my studio for hours on end, draping, drafting, and editing on repeat. I am a complete mess, in every sense of the word. My studio is covered in discarded … [Read More...] about Lost In Design…And Loving It
