Creating a custom tumbler with a Cricut machine is a great way to add a unique, personal touch to your favorite drinks. Whether you’re crafting gifts or just sprucing up your home bar, making your own epoxy tumblers can be a fun and rewarding project.
The process of creating epoxy tumblers with Cricut is relatively straightforward, but there are several steps you need to take in order to ensure that the finished product looks its best. Here’s what you need to know about creating epoxy tumblers with Cricut:
Step 1: Select Your Tumbler
The first step in creating an epoxy tumbler is selecting the right tumbler for your project. Be sure to choose one that is made from stainless steel or other materials that can withstand high temperatures and won’t warp when exposed to heat. You should also make sure that the surface of the tumbler is free from any dirt or debris so it will accept the adhesive and design easily.
Step 2: Design Your Tumbler
Once you have chosen the right tumbler, it’s time to get creative and design your own unique look! Start by using Cricut Design Space software to create a customizable design for your tumbler.
You can use images, fonts and shapes to create a unique look that reflects your personal style. When you’re done designing, save the file as an SVG file so it can be cut with your Cricut machine.
Step 3: Cut Your Design
Once you have saved your design as an SVG file, it’s time to cut it out with your Cricut machine. Be sure to choose the correct material setting on your machine for whatever type of material you are using for your design (i.e., vinyl, paper, etc.). If necessary, use transfer paper or masking tape so that you can easily transfer the design onto the tumbler without any wrinkles or bubbles.
Step 4: Apply Epoxy Resin
After transferring your design onto the surface of the tumbler, it’s time to apply epoxy resin over top of it in order seal it into place permanently. Be sure to follow the instructions on whichever brand of resin you use and allow enough curing time before handling or drinking out of your completed epoxy tumbler!
Conclusion
Making an epoxy tumbler with a Cricut machine is an easy process if you follow all of these steps correctly! From finding just the right stainless steel tumbler for your project all the way through applying and curing epoxy resin over top of it – this project will surely add some flair and customization to whatever drinks you put inside!
