Step 1:

Evenly coat the cups with a thin layer of mod podge or another similar adhesive.

Step 2:

While the Mod Podge / adhesive is still wet, sprinkle glitter evenly over the cup.
Note: You will want to keep a sheet of paper underneath your cup while doing this to catch / funnel the excess glitter back into the glitter container.

Step 3:

Apply 3-4 coats of your choice of clear sealant.

    DIY Starbucks Glitter Tumbler – Cricut Design Space Tutorial:

    On the Cricut Design Space canvas page, click the “upload” icon on the left of the page to upload the Starbucks image.
    Select “complex” for the image type.
    Use the “select and erase” tool to remove all of the white from the Starbucks image.
    Select how you would like the image to be saved.
    Change the width of the image to 2.5″
    To create the second layer of the project (the white background), select “shapes” from the design panel to the right of the canvas and then select the circle.

    Change the width of the circle to 2.5″ in the edit bar at the top of the canvas.

    Changing the color of the circle to white will not have any real effect on the outcome of your project since the circle is a “cut image” instead of a “print then cut” image, but it will help with the overall visualization of the final project as well as help with the organization of the cutting mats.
    IMPORTANT: If you saved the Starbucks logo as a “print then cut” image, you will need to convert it to a “cut image” now.

    To do that, select the Starbucks logo followed by “print” in the edit bar at the Cricut canvas. You will need to choose “no fill” from the print drop-down menu.

    OPTIONAL: When changing the Starbucks logo to a “cut image” it will automatically change the color of the logo from green to gray. This will have no effect on your final project as long as you load green vinyl onto your cutting mat when it is time to cut out the Starbucks logo.

    Changing the color of the Starbucks logo back to green will not have any effect on your final project, but will help with the overall visualization of the final project. 

    To change the color of the logo, select the gray color swatch to the right of the “line type” drop-down menu in the edit bar at the top of the Cricut canvas. Select green.

    Click “Make It” to get it prepped to send to your Cricut dye cutting machine.

    Load your Cricut cutting mats into your machine and start cutting.
    Weed out all of the excess vinyl that is not part of your design.
    Using transfer tape, layer your vinyl  to create one vinyl decal.
    Apply your Cricut vinyl decal to your DIY glitter tumbler.
    Coat the cup in your choice of a safe sealant / top coat.
