🎨 DIY Printable Vinyl Tumbler Wrap Tutorial
Jackie from Denwood Designs introduces a video tutorial on creating a DIY printable vinyl wrap for a 20-ounce straight skinny tumbler. She plans to use the vinyl to cover two-thirds of the tumbler and finish with a classic three-band look, complemented by a matching saying. The tutorial emphasizes the versatility of using different digital papers for the vinyl and assures viewers of the simplicity and quickness of the process. All products used are linked in the video description, and Jackie invites questions from the audience.
🖨 Setting Up Printable Vinyl in Pages
The video demonstrates how to set up printable vinyl using the Pages application on a Mac. Jackie guides viewers to set the document to landscape, select an image wider than it is tall, and adjust margins to zero for a full-page print. She shows how to resize the image without distortion, ensuring it fills the page. The tutorial then proceeds to printing the image on photo paper with high-gloss and high print quality settings. After printing, Jackie trims the vinyl, preparing it for application onto a prepped white tumbler.
✂️ Applying the Vinyl Wrap to the Tumbler
Jackie marks the tumbler at the desired height for the vinyl application, ensuring a straight line for even wrapping. She cuts the vinyl to size, taking care to align it perfectly. The tutorial highlights the importance of using a straight edge and a sharp tool for precise cutting. Jackie then carefully applies the vinyl to the tumbler, emphasizing the need for patience to avoid bubbles and wrinkles. She advises against using transfer tape due to the vinyl's stickiness and instead recommends a slow and careful application directly onto the tumbler.
🎨 Painting and Glittering the Tumbler
After successfully applying the vinyl, Jackie proceeds to paint the exposed areas of the tumbler using key lime-colored primer and paint. She uses saran wrap and tape to protect the vinyl during painting. Once the paint is dry, she moves on to the glittering process. Jackie tapes off the vinyl section and applies a thin layer of epoxy to create an adhesive surface for the glitter. She chooses a glitter from a Canadian company, Glitter Babes, and applies it both chunky and fine to add depth and dimension to the design.
🛠 Sealing and Finishing the Glittered Tumbler
Jackie carefully removes the tape and vinyl from the glittered areas, ensuring no damage to the design. She then seals the glitter with multiple coats of clear gloss to protect it. The tutorial details the process of applying epoxy in layers, torching it for a smooth finish, and allowing it to cure for specific durations. The final step includes sanding any imperfections and applying a final coat of epoxy for a polished look. The video concludes with Jackie expressing satisfaction with the finished product and encouraging viewers to try creating their own vinyl designs.
🌸 Adding Decals and Final Touches
In the final part of the tutorial, Jackie adds a decal to the tumbler using a two-tone design created in Design Space. She carefully applies the decal, ensuring it aligns with the back seam of the cup for a neat appearance. She then proceeds to add three bands of different thicknesses and colors to accentuate the design, attaching them carefully to avoid stretching the vinyl. Jackie applies a final coat of epoxy to seal the bands and protect the design. The video ends with her expressing happiness with the completed project and thanking viewers for watching.

hey guys welcome back to my channel my
name is jackie and i am the owner and
creator here at denwood designs
in today's video i'm going to show you
how i make my own printable vinyl
and how we take that vinyl and use it to
make a wrap around
a 20 ounce straight skinny tumbler and
it's only going up about two-thirds so
we're gonna top it off with a classic
three-band look and pair it with a
cheeky little saying that matches the
vinyl and i just love this look i think
it's really really fun
and could be really versatile you could
use a whole different range
of digital papers to create your own uh
printable vinyl
and this one doesn't take any time at
all so i hope you enjoy it
all of the products that i've used will
be linked down below
in the description box and as always if
you have any questions drop those down
i'd be happy to help
thanks so much for checking us out guys
have a great day
[Music]
okay guys i'm going to show you how i
start with my printable vinyl
so i use a program called pages i am a
mac user so
if you are not uh then you're going to
need to use like google docs or
something like that
you're going to want to set it to
landscape versus portrait so that
your your
image is going to be longer than it is
tall
so it's important that when you find an
image that you like for this style
that you are using something that is
wider than it is tall and i'll kind of
show you why that's important here
shortly
so we're going to go ahead and size this
image and remove
all of the margins here so i'm just
lining it up with the corner
and i'm going to go into document and
then change
all of my margins to zero top bottom
and side to side
and then we're going to go ahead and
kind of pull it down
and extend it out to the side
to fill the page here so you'll see then
that it kind of drops below
that cut off which is fine and i'll show
you how to handle that
here in a second so currently um
constrain proportions is checked so it
when you're resizing your image you're
not distorting it in any way so the the
idea here is you want to place it as
close
to filling the page without changing
that
as possible so we're going to go back to
image and then that little box
for constrain proportions we're going to
uncheck and then we're just going to
drag it out for
the remainder of the image here
and right down to the very bottom of the
page then we're going to go ahead
hit file go print
and we'll make sure the second page is
blank
and it is so we're gonna uncheck print
all pages and we're just going to print
from page
one to page one and i'm going to change
my quality in media
so from plain paper to photo paper and i
like to use the
max glossy and up my
print quality to high and that just
makes sure i get the best
image for me so here's everything
printed and ready to go you'll see you
have the tiniest little border
all around the image and i'm starting
with a
fully sanded and prepped white
20 ounce skinny tumbler from dap
merchandise
you'll also need a paper cutter you will
need
a fabric or flexible
measuring tape and a pencil to mark your
cup
so i'm just going to go ahead and
quickly trim the edges here off of my
vinyl because i don't want any of the
white
border
and you'll get that when you print full
sheet that's just
the smallest margin that you'll get so
there we've got it all trimmed up neat
and tidy
i'm going to show you here why it was
important that we selected an image that
was
wider than it was tall because if we
went with a tall
we actually wouldn't have enough vinyl
to wrap fully
around this 20 ounce cup so that's why
we you really want to watch
the image or the paper that you're
selecting from so
and this paper actually came from a
digital paper file that i purchased i
think on design bundles or something
like that
and it was just a cactus one uh so i'm
gonna go ahead and mark my cup i already
know that i want
the vinyl to be about two-thirds of
the height of the cup from the bottom so
my measuring tape is a little wonky
there at the top so i always tend to
measure from one down just to kind of
give you an idea but i'm going to come
down to about three and a half inches
from the top and make a mark
so from the bottom of the cup up to that
mark is where we're going to be wrapping
our vinyl around this cup
so there i usually use the one so it's
about
four and a half inches roughly
so i know that i need to mark the back
of my
um my vinyl here about
four and a half inches so i'm going to
make a mark
right across the top there the one and
then i'm going to do it just
further down the page as well so that
i've got two landmarks so i know i'm in
a straight line
so again line it up marked it at the one
that's four and a half inches
and then i'm going to go ahead and put
that onto the paper cutter and i
apologize here
i grabbed the wrong paper cutter i do
have a much bigger one so this
kind of didn't really cut the whole
thing but i kind of jury rigged it so it
worked just fine
and you can do the same but you could
also use a pair of scissors you just
want to make us
get a straight edge and make sure that
you are in fact lining up those two
lines
and you are getting a perfectly straight
line that's going to be really really
important for this design
and so pardon the struggle here
um again i just grabbed the wrong one
grabbed the wrong tool
and it's okay so
i made it work
and then once we've got that cut we're
going to go ahead and start getting it
ready so you can discard that piece
you can use it for another project or
you can wrap a pen whatever you like
with it
and so i just set it off to the side and
found something else for it later on
and then i'm just going to quickly line
everything up make sure that it is in
fact the way that i like it
and this is a straight tumbler so i find
it
a lot easier to line the bottom up so
that it's actually
resting against a flat surface and then
you'll actually see here where it's
you can get it to wrap and and the top
and bottom will meet
perfectly just the way it was intended
to there so
all the way around the cup so we're
going to go ahead
and apply our vinyl this is a long and
tedious
process but if you take your time it's
definitely
worth doing and you really do want to
take your time with this part so
just go ahead and separate the back of
your vinyl from the paper but i leave
the paper intact as much as possible so
i just folded back about a one inch
space here
and then lined it up with the bottom of
the cup and the table
just to make sure i was happy with
placement
and adjust as needed so important to
note here guys
with the printable vinyl um i can't
remember offhand the brand that i use
i will link it down below in the
description box when i'm done and i did
just buy it off of amazon
you do not need to seal printable vinyl
at all so this has no clear coat spray
to it
it has no quick coat on it nothing it is
straight from the printer
and then onto the cup so um if your ink
tends to
take a little bit to dry just wait for
it to dry
before going ahead and pressing down on
especially in this
process right here so we're just going
to
very very gently rub if you have one of
those
kind of squeegee type things with the
felt bottom
then go ahead and use that part but you
just want to take your time make sure
you're getting it right down to the very
bottom
getting out any creases or wrinkles and
really really taking your time with that
guys
if you rush it you will not be happy so
and this stuff was pretty forgiving you
can lift it and replace it as need be
here
so if you know it's not too too bad
do not apply your vinyl your printable
vinyl
using a transfer tape
you will regret that decision this stuff
is so
sticky so any kind of adhesive that
sticks to it
is really difficult to get off and
you'll see that here in in a couple of
processes as we go
forward but so again just before
finishing up we're going to go all the
way around the bottom
make sure that we have all the wrinkles
out that there's no bubbles
if you are noticing a couple of bubbles
you can just use
the tip of your craft knife and poke a
hole
and um and then just smooth it right
over with your
thumb finger or that little squeegee
tool just be really careful you don't
want to tear the vinyl
so here you could see how sticky it was
onto itself so
i just want to be really really careful
and again you'll line up that crease
really really well top to bottom
and then we're going to get our craft
knife and we're going to cut off that
excess
and i did cut over the little piece
that's underneath
but just a smidge like a couple of
millimeters
you don't want a huge seam but you don't
want to run the risk of cutting
too far back from it and then you get
this white gap
that you can't really do anything with
to fix so
and i was pretty careful here with my
craft knife i didn't go too deep at
first
and just make sure that i was really
really happy with where i was cutting
and then go ahead and put a bit more
pressure cutting a straight line if
you're uncomfortable doing it that way
you can use a straight edge as well
just really watch your fingers that
you're not sliding around you don't want
to cut yourself for sure
and and then just cut off any excess
so i did find with printable vinyl
though you do get a little bit
of some of the adhesive that peels off
from the back there you can see
so i said take a couple extra seconds to
kind of get rid of
all of that and it was a little bit of a
pain i wasn't really expecting that
but as i've worked with the printable
vinyl here the last little while i'm
noticing that just kind of tends to be
what it does so
not a big deal just be aware that it is
something that can happen and and it's
fine it doesn't really affect
anything at all it didn't leave any
residue behind
on the vinyl um but i did have to remove
it because it's white and it really
sticks out
so take your time and get rid of it all
so
and there we go so i'm pretty happy with
the way that that turned out it wasn't
too too hard at all and again it's a
straight skinny tumbler
so it's you know these are very
forgiving
and quite easy you don't have to worry
about working in any kind of a taper
or anything like that um
so now that it's been on there for a
couple of minutes i'm going to go ahead
and i'm going to wrap
it with some saran wrap and tape so that
i can
paint the rest of the cup this key lime
by rust-oleum it's a two times primer
and paint
so i'm just going to go ahead and line
some tape up to the top of my
saran wrap here and then i'm just going
to tape off the top and bottom of the
cup
and be really careful across the top
here you want to make sure that you're
getting
lined up right at the very top edge of
that vinyl
and you want to pull it nice and snug so
that
you are getting a really nice straight
line and your tape will line up
flawlessly with the other end
if you're in a really nice straight line
so that's a good way to kind of keep
yourself
just sort of assured that you you are in
fact where you need to be with it so
and rather than doing this in a two-step
process i did it all in one because
i tend to kind of when i'm doing cups i
do them in big batches here so
i try to do as many steps at once as i
possibly can so i'm just folding
the saran wrap back from the edge a
little bit and i'm going to get another
piece of tape and i'm going to tape
off around that as well so that i can
paint the bottom at the same time so
it's just sort of easier to do this if
you're not comfortable with that
it's absolutely totally fine to do it in
a second step
this is just what worked for me and i
tend to be
you know multitask i try to get as much
done in one step
as i possibly can so
and you just want to make sure that you
do have all the saran wrap tucked in
there
and away from the edge so that you're
not masking off an area that you want
painted and so again just tape all the
way across
pulling nice and snug so that you're
getting a nice straight tight line
and again i'm just using two times
rust-oleum
in key lime and i only had this one in
gloss so
we're gonna paint the bottom and the top
of the cup
and then we're gonna let it dry so those
are the turner arms that i use
um if you have any questions about that
by all means throw them down in the
comments below and i'm happy to kind of
walk you through
um my my setup so
now that the cups are or the cup is dry
and um we're ready to go now with
the glitter process so we're going to
tape off the
vinyl section and then i'm going to use
just a thin layer of epoxy to create
an adhesive surface for the glitter so
the bottom i'm actually going to leave
a little bit of the vinyl exposed
because i want the glitter to kind of
come right
up to that i don't want it to be a stark
line
of where the vinyl ends and where the
glitter starts so i want that glitter to
kind of creep
up over that um
over that last little bit of vinyl at
the very bottom there
so and again just making sure all the
edges line up so that you've got a nice
straight line
all the way across
and once you're happy with that smooth
it out all the way around you don't want
to make you don't want to have any gaps
where
you get glitter where you don't want it
and then we're going to tape off
the top of the vinyl section as well and
this one we're going to come right
up to where the vinyl meets the paint
and because i don't need any vinyl
exposed here
we are going to finish this cup off with
a triple band
and um so same thing just making sure
that it's all nice and smooth down that
your edges meet up
and then i've got five milliliters of
epoxy and i'm using
alumalite's amazing clear cast and
i've pre-warmed the cup the glitter
we're using today is senorita by glitter
babes which is another canadian company
and i've got it in both a chunky
and a fine so i've pre-warmed the cup
using
my uh heat gun and it just makes the
vinyl or the uh
sorry excuse me the epoxy uh smooth out
just a little bit easier
for coverage and you don't need quite as
much we don't want any lines in our
epoxy or in our glitter
if you do get that it's just because
you've used too much epoxy so
really i'm just dipping my finger in and
then that's pretty much enough to cover
the whole top portion of this cup here
so you want to make sure that you're
getting
really good and close into that tape
and a little bit of overlap on the tape
is fine again you don't want any gaps
and then all the way up to the very top
edge as well
and then we're going to basically do the
same thing on the bottom coming up over
that little bit of exposed vinyl area
and we're just going to make sure that
we've got great coverage
no gaps and you shouldn't see any epoxy
running
or anything like that there should be no
pooling no nothing it's
literally just the tiniest amount
on the on the cup itself
and so for the bottom of the cup i am
just going to
use fine and for the top we're going to
use a chunky and a fine so i'm going to
start with that first
and my shaker bottle for this is
actually the holes on it we're just a
bit too small
so i'm just doing it by hand and um
we're just going to be putting out and
this is just to create a little bit of
depth and dimension
the glitter is the exact same color
in two different cuts and so again it is
glitter babes
and it is senorita and they are a
canadian glitter company
out of ontario and i absolutely love
their product
so i'm very happy to have found another
canadian company that i can support
and i just love their products so
very very happy with this and i just
love this color of green it's not quite
neon but it's not far off and it's just
got the most amazing
little holographic shift to it as well
or an iridescence i guess would be a
better better description of this one
so we're not going for full coverage
here we're just going to add a little
bit of depth and dimension to this
and we're not going to put any on the
bottom so i just want to try to keep
that bottom as nice and smooth and drama
free from
all the epoxy that's going to be coming
and
so i'm going to set that off to the side
and i just had a small sample of the
senorita in the fine so we're going to
use that here and i'm just going to coat
the bottom
and again making sure you come right up
over the top of that
vinyl that little bit of exposed vinyl
and this will just pull it all together
so nice compared to just if we were to
just do the bottom only
i feel like this just finishes it off so
much nicer
so just take your time make sure you're
filling in all the spots you want really
good coverage here
top and bottom
so we'll just make sure the bottom is
done really really well
shake off any excess and then we're
going to go ahead and finish off the top
and this just looks so nice all together
with both
both the fine and the chunky mix
and so there we go once it's all on
there we can go ahead and start to pull
the tape
and this is where you'll see guys when i
said that the adhesive vinyl
printable vinyl is really really sticky
so
i was so worried when i was peeling this
off that i was gonna end up sucker
punching myself so just be careful
because you really do kind of have to
pull
and again this vinyl is not sealed
and there is nothing coming up with it
so even though it's masking tape
it was really really well adhered and
it did not pull off an ounce of any ink
whatsoever so there was no damage no
residue left behind
nothing so we've got a nice crisp edge
there
and we're going to go ahead and peel off
from the bottom
and then i am going to go ahead and seal
this i think i did
two coats of um just rust-oleum clear
two times gloss and just to make sure
that we really locked that glitter down
i don't want it transferring into that
vinyl area
and so once that's all dry and ready to
go i've got 20 mils of epoxy
mixed here and we're going to go ahead
and apply that just as we always do
i always start at the very top and
making really good sure that you're up
sealing right up over that edge there
because it
tends to want to pull back from the edge
so
you'll always see i tend to spend a fair
bit of time right up at the very edges
there to make sure that i have
nothing pulling back from it and i've
got really good coverage
so we're going to go ahead and cover the
entire cup and then we're going to give
it a quick torch
and i'm going to let this spin for four
to six
hours and then i'm going to go ahead
right away into a flood coat so it was
another
20 milliliters of epoxy and
then i let that spin for a full 12 hours
and then i believe i did actually one
more coat of it
because it needs some sanding and just
with
using the chunky i like to make sure
i've got enough coats on there that i'm
not going to scrape off
any of the color on the glitter if i
don't have enough
epoxy on there so i just made sure that
it was a nice thick coat
and it was fairly smooth there was a
little bit of sanding that i needed to
do i had a couple of pokey bits there
but so all in all before i went into the
sanding process are
three coats of epoxy so this one four to
six hours
a second coat let that cure for 12 hours
and then one final coat after that that
let cure for 12 hours
so if you do notice any little bits of
stray glitter getting into your vinyl
area
now's the time to pull those out really
quick you can use tweezers i just use
the edge of my nail because they're
quite long
and um wasn't a big deal for me
um and that's that so we're gonna go
ahead and let that spin
and then we're gonna go right into the
sanding process
from here once we're all set
so i want to find out where i'm going to
be placing my
decal for the for this cup
and so you can see a little bit of a
pokey bit there so i'm going to go ahead
and quickly sand
all the way around and i'm going to
really pay attention to where the decal
is going to be laying down
on the front of the cup so the seam
where we cut the vinyl
is at the very back so i just make sure
that when i lay it into the cup cradle
uh there that i make sure that i have it
so that the front of my cup is up and
that that area
is nice and smooth there's no lumps or
bumps
because when you lay the vinyl down on
top of that it will
really really be emphasized so just
spending a bit of time here
rubbing i'm using a 60 grit sanding
block and i just picked that up from
home hardware i do believe and then we
want to do all around the top rim and
expose a little bit of stainless steel
at that top rim
i also use a dremel from time to time to
just expose a very thin line
of epoxy sorry of the stainless steel
and then that just makes sure we've got
a really nice edge for our epoxy to
adhere to as opposed to the very
top of the rim of the cup because that's
going to be the weakest part and any
cracks in there will ultimately
lead to the whole cup failing at some
point because moisture will get down in
there so
so i've laid it down in the cup holder
my little cradle there which is just two
pool noodles held together with some
electrical tape
the decal that i created is just one i
did in design space
it's not a real fancy font or anything
like that and then i just used
the offset feature and created
a two-tone dark pink on the bottom light
pink on the top
cute little sassy saying and um
and i just you guys have seen me do that
process before
so i didn't really show it so i'm just
going to go ahead
and peel this off onto the transfer tape
and then we're going to go ahead and put
it onto the cup making sure it's nice
and straight
and again we've got the seam lined up at
the very back of the pool noodle so that
i know what i'm dealing with right in
front of me up top
is the center of the front
so we've got it ready and we're just
going to go ahead and lay it down making
sure that we're nice and straight
and i'm using that bottom edge of the
vinyl to
be my landmark and making sure that i'm
nice and straight there
so once i'm happy with placement i'm
going to go ahead and smooth from
center out to the sides and this just
make sure you don't get any
wrinkles or anything like that because
it is a curved surface
i just want to make sure that it's nice
and tightly adhered down and then we're
going to go ahead and peel that up
and if there's any spots that start to
lift as you're peeling your transfer
tape up it's okay just lay it back down
and push them down
rub them down just a little bit more and
then they'll stick just fine
so i'm pretty happy with that
and then we're going to go ahead and put
the bands on the cup
so the bands for these i cut i believe
in 10 inches in length the first band
is the dark green and i cut that one
at .25 thickness
and 10 inches in length and that's just
from using the shapes tool in design
space i used the square and unlocked it
so that i can resize it to 0.25
in height or width rather and then 10
inches
in length and then we're going to line
that up with the back seam of the cup
so that we keep all the seams in one
spot and we're going to just
make sure that it stays all the way
through the middle
of that vinyl and that keeps it in a
nice straight line and again if you're
in a nice straight line
your two ends will match up just
perfectly
so once you get to that point and you're
going to pull fairly snug you don't want
to pull too hard guys vinyl is
does have a little bit of play and if
you do pull it you'll kind of thin it
out
so you run the risk of stretching it and
breaking it but also through the
stretching process you're changing its
width a little bit so there's a fine
line between
pulling it too tight and kind of not
really pulling it tight enough so if
you're getting wrinkles you're not
pulling enough and if you're changing
its shape you're pulling too much so
and again we just want a little tiny bit
of overlap
and then we're going to cut that with
our craft knife and then the dark
pink is 0.19
by 10 inches and then the light pink is
0.13
by 10 inches so we get a nice triple
band look it looks really really pretty
accentuates the dark green of the cactus
the light
pink and the bright pink from the decal
and it just ties it all together so well
and then i just put my logo on the
bottom and we
are ready to go ahead with its final
coats of epoxy
so again 20 milliliters of epoxy i've
got mixed up
and again it's illumilite amazing clear
cast
and we're just going to apply it as we
normally do
top to bottom making really good sure
we're up over the edge
and that we're not getting any epoxy
pulling back
and we're gonna smooth it out from top
to bottom really good coverage
using the full 20 milliliters and then
we're gonna go ahead and torch it
and then we're gonna go ahead and let
that cure for four to six hours and then
we're going to go straight into a flood
coat
and let that cure for the full 12 hours
and that was it
the cup was done i was so happy with it
if you find that you have to do one more
coat after that that's just fine
and i hope you guys enjoyed this
tutorial i hope it helps you out with
creating some of your own vinyl i know
sometimes it's hard to find
vinyl so this is a fun way to do it you
can find lots of digital papers out
there
and just print them full sheet for
yourself so thanks so much for checking
us out guys have a great day
