DIY Vinyl Mug Makeover

Dorlene here and I don’t know about you, but I love to go to thrift stores and yard sales to find stuff I can updo. This mug was one of those finds. I love the orange on the inside of the mug and the handle.*

I decided to make it my permanent paint water cup. To do that, I went to the Printable Cuttable Creatables website and searched in the Arts and Crafts section.  I found two cut files for this updo – Artist Painting Easel and Wet Paint Splotches. Wet Paint Splotches is a free cut file. Can you believe it?

After uploading both cut files and adding them to the canvas, I ungrouped the easel image, deleted the easel and only kept the paint brush. I sized everything to my liking and then prepared the mats.

When using vinyl scraps and small cuts, save yourself some time and arrange the different color vinyls onto one mat.

Weed….

*Note: I used nail polish remover to remove the logo that was on the mug.

Rub the mug with alcohol with a cotton ball or lint free cloth and let it dry to make sure the surface is clean before adding the vinyl.

Ok, I know.  It’s way too cute to use for a paint water mug, but it’s the perfect size and looks so good on my work surface.
