- Confetti Color-changing tumblers
I used 24 oz color changing confetti cups from Amazon. They are the same size as Starbucks 24oz cups. When they are room temp or warm the confetti is white and when added a cold drink they confetti turns to many colors. These color changing tumblers are so cute and can be used with many Starbucks wrap SVG designs.
Size SVG to Tumbler
To get started, I measured my cup to see how big the surface is for my SVG design. For this cup, I figured 3.5 inches is a good size width for my SVG. And it can’t be any longer then 6 inches.
Upload SVG to Design Space
Once you download the SVG upload it to design space and resize it for your cup. If you need help finding the SVG please read my Q & A page. I want my width of my SVG to be 3.5 inches so I change it up top in the SIZE W section. Next you need to ungroup the SVG, to do that you need to right-click on it and select ungroup.
Select these groups with the red arrow pointed to it (see image below) and attach each group separately. This way it will cut in one piece and not get mixed up.
Next, cut your vinyl on the appropriate settings for your machine.
This SVG has 13 different colors and you will have to layer and piece it together by hand. I found it easy to layer the letter L, V, E letters first, then assemble the rest by hand on the cup.
Measure one inch down from the top of cup and place the L and apple there. Then the V and E directly under that.
You can also change the colors of the SVG to use less colors but I personally love how colorful it is!! I hope you enjoyed and get to try out this project idea for a Teacher’s Gift. Add this Cup Care Label to complete your gift!
