Mr. & Mrs. Right Coffee Mugs |
This is a project that looks complicated, but is so much fun.
Below are instructions for making these coffee mugs.
Supplies: Coffee mug, Oracle 651 vinyl, transfer
tape, mat scraper and die cutting machine
In your die cutting machine software ( I use Invue software from Pazzles) you
will draw a square that is 3.5 x 3.5 so that your text will fit in this space.
Select your two images (Lips from Perfect Smile Card and Mustache) mine our from
the pazzles craft room
you must be a craft room member to retrieve these files. Once you have your
image, you will select your font. The font that I have selected is Rockwell
Extra Bold. Now that you have your image and your text, cut your vinyl 7x7 then
place it on your cutting mat. The square doesn’t have to be cut, this was used
as a guide. Send your project to the cutting mat using the settings for vinyl in
your software ( I use a cutting blade of 1.5, pressure of 14 and speed of 5).
Once your vinyl is cut out you will need to weed out the parts that will not
be placed on your coffee mug. Once you are done weeding, place a piece of
transfer tape over your image. Use your mat scraper to go over your words so
that they adhere to the transfer tape. Now peel back the transfer tape and your
letters should be stuck to the tape (If any letters don’t come up, go over it
again with your scraper). Position your words onto your coffee mug, using the
scraper to rub over your letters making sure no bubbles appear. Finally peel
back the transfer tape to reveal your final project. This Vinyl is microwave
and top rack dish washer safe.
Hope you enjoy making your own coffee mugs and don’t forget to leave me a
