With the school year coming to a close, it’s the perfect time to show your child’s teacher how much you appreciate them with a little gift.
We decided to personalize a coffee mug since we liked this teacher a “latte” 😉 Not only did it turn out cute, but it only took a few minutes to make!
For this week’s post we used:
- FDC Ultra High Gloss in cardinal red and forest green
- A vinyl cutter
- Heat Resistant Tape
- Coffee Mug
- Gridded Application Tape
- Hook (Weeding tool)
First, you will want to design your quote and apple within your cutting software. If you are using a Silhouette Machine you can download a free ‘apple’ file over at Silhouette School’s Blog. She has 11 options to choose from!
Once your design is finalized, you should measure your coffee mug and resize your file to fit the area as needed. Now, adjust your cut setting, load your vinyl, and select cut! Once you cut both designs, you will want to weed the excess vinyl, and then apply the transfer application tape to your design. 
TIP: To help lay your vinyl on a curved surface, you can cut small slivers around your design. Just make sure you don’t cut your vinyl!
Once you apply your design you are done!
Wasn’t that easy? You can give the mug as it is, add a gift card or even bag of coffee grounds!
