DIY Starbucks Tumbler + Free Cut Files
Hi, friends! I have a super fun freebie to share with you guys today. Keep reading to find out all the deets!
If you’ve been on the gram lately you’ve definitely seen these customized Starbucks tumblers floating around. It’s no surprise either because they are super cute and so easy to DIY.
I played around with the sizing on these for a bit until I got it just right. The logo on these cold cups is not a perfect circle so after downloading the freebies you’ll need to change the sizing. Here are the dimensions that I found work best: H=3.527 and W= 3.779
Just like any other vinyl decal you’ll want to apply a piece of transfer tape and use a scraper tool to burnish over the decal so none of the tiny pieces get left behind.
Then apply the decal to the cup and use your fingers or a scraper tool to apply even pressure over the entire design and peel away the transfer tape. These particular cups are a weird plastic and removable (or cheap) vinyl absolutely refuses to stick to the surface. I highly recommend something permanant like Oracal 651.
If you compare the two photos above you can see the difference in the decal shapes. The pink decal was a perfect circle and didn’t line up around the logo at all. The blue decal uses the edited dimensions I provided above and fits snugly around the logo.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or issues with the files!
Happy making!

Hi sweetie are these grande or venti cups?
I’m not sure they fall into either category. They’re just large cold tumblers for iced drinks.
Where can I purchase tumblers like these?
Thanks,
Amy
Hi, Amy! The tumblers are sold at Starbucks for $3. 🙂
I LOVE these! Do you epoxy over them? If not how do they stay on?
I don’t. They stay as long as you handwash the cup only!
When I downloaded these they are a png. Can I get them as an svg?
Hi there. They’re all uplaoded as .png files. If there are specific ones you want I can email the SVG’s to you.
Do you happen to have these in svg format? I’ve tried to figure out how to do it but can’t get it to work.
Thanks a ton!
Laura
Your decals look great ! Still confused how to get them . Do you email a link or what? Thanks again!
Hey girl, go to the freebies tab at the top of the blog and then click free downloads. They’re all there and then you just click the download button. 🙂
What font is used in case we want to change up some of the wording? Luv these
Font is Aharoni Bold 🙂
How do you curve the writing for the blank one?
Hi there. I curve it using adobe illustrator but Design Space has a curve tool as well.
Do you have just a blank file so that I can create my own sayings on the starbucks cups?
I do, if you go under the free downloads tab you’ll see it there!
Looked everywhere in the freebie file for a blank template that I could put my own writing on but can’t find it – can you help?
Hi there! Here’s the link for the blank: https://kaylamakes.com/download/blank-decal/ 🙂
Hi Kayla! Yes! I have seen a lot of these sold on the gram lately and I’m wondering if the tumblers are bought directly from Starbucks. If I wanted to buy more than just a few, would starbucks actually sell them to me or would I have to go online and purchase them in bulk?
Hey there! Starbucks will sell you as many as you want to buy! I’ve been in and purchased the entire stock!
Can you please email me the svg files? Thank you!
do you have any flower ones for these Starbucks cups?
I don’t have the flower decals, sorry!
Is there anyway to get these in svg format? I unfortunately can’t use the png format and I see you mentioned svg above as an option.
Thanks much in advance,
Laura
Hey! Which ones did you need?
Kayla,
If possible I’d love Grinchmas Blend, Jingle Juice, Halloween Quen, Autumn Vibes, Dance Mom Fuel, Dancer Fuel and Dance Teacher Fuel. Thanks so much!
Laura

Would you be able to upload these as SVG files?
If there are certain ones you would like as an SVG I can email them to you.
Hi Kayla! These are amazing! Can you send me these in SVG files? I really like the Vacay, Summer, Poolside, Beach, and Blank ones. My email address is akr22785@gmail.com.
Hello,
these are beautiful! i haven’t received the email to download them 🙁
Thank you! They’re all available on the free downloads page. Go to the freebies tab then click free downloads. 🙂
Hi! LOVE these. I subscribed but never received a link…could you share them direct? thanks riveraka13@gmail.com
Hey there! Thank you! You can find all of the downloads on the freebies page here: https://kaylamakes.com/free-downloads/ That way you can download whatever you want! 🙂
Hello! I just started all this cricut stuff! I tried making a Quarantine fuel one but failed bad. By any chance are you making one soon? It’s perfect during this time.
Hey! I can do that! I’ll add one to the downloads page. 🙂
Hiii, I signed up to get these files but I never received an email!! they’re sooo cute and I wanted to make some cups with these decals
Hey! They’re actually all posted over on the free downloads page now. https://kaylamakes.com/free-downloads/
Also do you have any Mardi Gras decals for the Starbucks cups? Thank you!!
Hey! I don’t have any Mardi Gras themed decals but let me know what you want them to say and I can add them!
Is there any way you could do a Harry Potter lover one? I can’t make any of these because I am on IOS.
Hi there!
These are so freaking cute 🙂 is there any way that you could please email me the SVG files for sunshine tan lines, the one with the pink leopard spots, essential AF, quarantine shopper, son of a nutcracker, hocus pocus, basic with, feeling witchy, and spooky vibes! I seriously love all of them…it was so hard picking. Thank you for making all these, you’re amazing!
Hey! Are the downloads not working for you?
hey girl, is there any way you could make them into svgs? when I try to upload them on the Cricut because its a png it doesn’t cut it out. I get a blank decal every time.
Hey! On some of the older downloads the letters will show up grey when you upload the design, you have to click each one to delete that grey space. I did a step by step post on uploading the designs the right way: https://kaylamakes.com/2019/05/14/uploading-free-downloads-design-space-new-freebies/
Hi I am new to this, I have a Cricut. What is the difference between png and svg downloads?
The main difference is that SVG’s are scalable without losing any detail. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. PNG’s are bitmapped so as they become larger they will become pixelated. Both are compatible with Design space.
Hi! So cute, I love your designs! I am currently working on a couple cups for some graduates, and even after wiping the cups with rubbing alcohol and using permanent vinyl, and burnishing the crap out of them, they aren’t sticking super well. I can peel it up with my fingernail. Have you run into this? Thank you for any advice!!
Hey! The only vinyl that didn’t stick for me was Cricut’s holographic vinyl. Oracal 651 always sticks really well. You can try heating the decal up a little with a hair dryer while you’re pressing it onto the cup. The warm air will melt the adhesive and help it stick. Also, if you just let the cups sit for a couple of days the vinyl should cure to the surface. Hopefully that helps!
Thank you so much, You are so helpful. is there a way you can send me the svg’s?
I would LOVE to see some Harry Potter ones!
I’d love to make some! Let me know what they should say and I’ll add them.
Is there any chance you could make a Pride one? “Love is Love” & “Love Always Wins” would be awesome! I can’t seem to find these anywhere on the internet and I can’t curve text in SCAL2 with my old cricut haha. Thanks!
Of course! I’ll add those today!
Hi, I signed up to subscribe especially so I could get the email link for the Mermaid Vibes, and it never sent to me. I can’t find it in the downloads?
Also I’d love it if you could make a Chicago Cubs ring with the baseballs, and an Iowa Hawkeyes ring with little footballs!
Thanks!!
Hey! I’ll add those to the downloads page! I think the subscribe button has expired on that page. Thanks for letting me know!
Hi I never received the download. Please advise
Also, the free downloads aren’t available. Thank you so much for offering these. You’re awesome!
Hey there! I moved all of the free downloads to the page “free downloads” just click it at the top of the homepage and you’ll find them all there. 🙂
Thanks so much Kayla! You’re the best!
You’re so sweet! Thank you!!
I made my first Starbucks cups using your file, perfect by the way!!! But the Starbucks logo (lady) partially peeled off when I removed my transfer tape from the vinyl. Any tricks and tips to use so that this doesn’t happen again? I used strong bond because I also used shimmer permanent vinyl.
Thank you!!!
Oh no! It pulled part of the printed logo off of the cup? That is some strong transfer tape! I haven’t had that happen but you can try covering the logo with something before you apply the transfer tape. Maybe stick some regular tape over it to protect it? Or even a less sticky transfer tape.
GM, sorry to be a pain in the ass, lol. I just love these downloads you offer. I was wondering if there was any way to email me, Dodgers girl, hot mess express, boss babe, beach vibes, mermaid vibes, salty vibes, sunshine vibes, choose happy in SVG files? Cricut keeps finding a print error instead of just cutting the image. And when I change the image to just cut, the wording goes away :(. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Nattie62@gmail.com
Hi! Anyway you could make an Always Tired decal with stars?! I have tried to make it myself and have had zero luck. This sleep deprived mama would appreciate it!!

Of course! I’ll add it to the downloads page!
Can we get a plant lady decal with stars? Thank you for your incredible tips and freebies. 🙂
Firstable THANKS i just find you and im excited to tey your designs ….a crazy question where you buy your cups just at your closest Starbucks or its any websites?
Hi there!
These are amazing! I am having trouble uploading the PNG to my cricut space. It uploads but then when I try to use the imagine it makes it just a ring.
Do you have a step by step on how to upload it so that it can be used and cut as is?
I do! This post https://kaylamakes.com/2019/05/14/uploading-free-downloads-design-space-new-freebies/ will show you how to use the .png files in Design Space.
