DIY Glass Gift Tumblers with Cricut

Between my two kids we had SIX teacher appreciation gifts to put together this year. This #craft was super easy and inexpensive to make but personalized to make our teachers and aids feel special 👩‍🏫🧡

Luckily I have a #cricut machine and a bunch of spare vinyl (make sure to use permanent, not removable). I used gold for the names and pink for the flowers. Each glass got about 9 flowers a little less than 1”x1” in size. If you don’t have a Cricut you could do glass paint or even keep them undecorated for a minimalist vibe ✨ For the tags I just used some cardstock and twine I had on hand. I used the Cricut to write the message and cut out the tags.

I ordered everything on the ‘zon and got a set of 6 Drinking Glasses with Bamboo Lids and Glass Straws for $18,

A box of 30 Skittles drink mixes for $5 (each glass got 4, one of each color)

a 10 Pack of hand lotion for $10,

6 Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks for $10

a 6 pack of lip balm for $10

a 12 pack of pens for $6 (each teacher got 2)

And then 6 $10 Starbucks gift cards

Everything fit perfect in the glasses and in total the project cost me about $120, or $20 per glass 🤩

... Read moreCreating personalized gifts is one of my favorite ways to show appreciation, and DIY glass tumblers are an absolute game-changer! While my recent project focused on teacher appreciation, the possibilities for these custom creations are truly endless. Whether you're looking for unique birthday presents, thoughtful bridesmaid proposals, or just a fun way to upgrade your own 'diy water bottle,' a personalized glass cup crafted with a Cricut makes a fantastic statement. For anyone just starting with Cricut crafts, tackling glass tumblers might seem daunting, but I promise it's simpler than you think! The key is choosing the right materials. Always opt for permanent adhesive vinyl for designs on drinkware that will be washed. This ensures your beautiful 'personalized names' and 'flower shapes' won't peel off after a few washes. My go-to method involves using transfer tape to perfectly place intricate designs. A top tip I've learned is to 'burnish' (rub firmly) both sides of the vinyl – the backing and the transfer tape – before slowly peeling. This helps the vinyl adhere to the transfer tape correctly and then to the glass, minimizing frustrating air bubbles. And don't forget to clean your glass thoroughly with rubbing alcohol first for optimal adhesion! What if you don't have a Cricut machine but still love the idea of customizing glass tumblers? Don't worry, you can still get creative! Many people enjoy 'drawing on glass' using specialized glass paint pens or even permanent markers, which you then bake to set the design. Glass etching cream is another fantastic option for creating a frosted, elegant look without needing intricate cutting. These methods are perfect for simple designs, monograms, or even hand-drawn art, offering a unique touch to your 'cup ideas' without the digital design aspect. When it comes to filling these delightful tumblers, think beyond just one occasion! For the teachers, I put together a lovely self-care kit with 'hand lotions,' 'under-eye masks,' and 'lip balms,' plus some fun 'Skittles drink mixes' and practical 'colorful pens.' But the customization doesn't stop there. For a coffee lover, you could include a 'Starbucks gift card,' gourmet coffee beans, and a mini biscotti. For a spa enthusiast, think bath bombs, face masks, and a silky scrunchie. Planning a 'liquor gift'? A custom glass tumbler filled with mini liquor bottles and cocktail mixers could be a hit for a 21st birthday or a bachelorette party. The 'bamboo lids and glass straws' that often come with these tumblers add an extra touch of reusable luxury, making them even more appealing. Ultimately, whether you're creating a heartfelt 'THANK YOU FOR HELPING MY LITTLE HANDS DO BIG THINGS' message for a teacher or a fun design for a friend, the joy of giving a 'diy glass tumbler' is truly in the thought and effort. These 'diy crafts' are not just gifts; they're personalized tokens of care that recipients cherish. So grab your supplies and start exploring all the amazing 'cricut tumbler ideas' out there!

Two glass jars with gold lids sit on a colorful braided placemat. One is a Nescafé Gold Espresso jar, and the other is a repurposed tumbler containing an iced coffee drink with a leopard print straw.

DON’T throw away these Nescafé espresso jars!! You can use them as tumblers. I soaked mine to make the label come off easier. Made a hole in the top and the white piece inside (that keeps it tight)
