 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreate Crafts. In today's video, I will be showing you step by step how to personalize these big beer mugs from the dollar store. These were quite fun and very easy to create. I also will show you how to easily glitter these girl mugs as well. I'll leave all of my supplies listed in the description box below. If you haven't already, please hit that subscribe button and leave me a thumbs up if you love this video. Now let's get started. Okay guys, so I'm starting in design space and I'm going to be using this file. This guy needs a beer. So I bought big huge mugs from the dollar store and I'm going to be putting this on them. So two things I want to do here. First I want to resize this and then second I want to make one that says this girl needs a beer. So I want it to look somewhat similar to this one. So the first thing I'm going to do is select this. I'm going to go up to the duplicate button and make another one. So I'm not changing the first one and then this one is a little bit tedious because this file is put together pretty well. So if you you can't do anything with it until you detach it here. So I'm going to push the detach button. Then you have to go in again and click the ungroup button and now it should take off. So all these letters are individual. So now I can go ahead and delete these and fill it in with girls. I'm going to go ahead and grab all three of them and then delete. Then I'm going to go over here to the text box and I'm going to type in girl. Now the tricky part is I want something that's sort of similar to this but it doesn't have to be exactly the same. So I'm going to drag this and make a little bit bigger and I'm going to go up to the text box and I'm going to go up to the search fonts because I found something that was similar to it. So it's copper plate. So I'm just going to type that in and here it is here. So this kind of looks similar. I mean it gives it a little bit of a different feeling because it is a girl and not a guy one. So I'm just going to enlarge this and place it where it's supposed to go. So it kind of looks like you want to get it under these little lines here. So I'm just going to take it and shrink it a little bit. You don't do it however you want to do it however it looks good to you. But I'm just going to do it about that size I think and I think it looks pretty good in the center. So I'm not going to mess with it. So the next thing I want to do is actually select the word that I just did and I'm going to attach it and then if you like it the way it is which I do I'm not going to change anything on it. I'm going to select the whole thing and then I'm going to push the attach button and that'll just make sure everything is going to cut out just the way it is. So it looks just like this but it says girl instead. So the last thing I want to do is change the size. So like I said I have dollar store mugs so I know my size is going to be roughly 4.5 by 4 so with it selected I go up to the unlock box up here and I'm just going to type in 4.5 by whoops 4. So it's going to be this size for my particular mug. It might have to be different for yours but I'm just using the larger mugs from the dollar store so I'm going to do the same thing with this one. Select or select the unlock box and then change it to be 4.5 by 4 and now you can change it to be you know any color you want any you know different size if you need to. I'm actually going to leave this one black and I'm going to change this one to like a pinkish color. I'm going to be doing several of these ones so I'm going to do like a holographic one. I'm going to be doing you know a red one maybe and then maybe blue and black for this one so I'm just going to switch the color here for the girl one. So there we go. So that's it for me. This is all I have to do. I don't think I said where I got this from so I believe you can get this file on design space. So if I go over here to the side and I right click I'll go on image info. I can show you again. So I right click image info and it says this guy needs a beer. If you type in this number this should come up for you. So if you go to the image section right here and you type in this number this should come up for you. I believe I got it on here. I don't think I got it anywhere else. So if you want that you just have to type that number and I'll leave it in the description below in case you didn't catch it. But this is all I'm going to do for these two. It's resized the way I want. It's two different colors so I'm going to go ahead and push the make it button. So here's the first one and then here's the pink one. So I'm just going to show you really quick what it which setting I use all the time. I don't use a lot of cricket brand. I just buy whatever is on sale on Amazon. I'll leave it in the description box below. I know for the girl ones I'm going to be using holographic vinyl and I absolutely love the holographic vinyl. So in case you're interested in that I'll leave that in the description below as well. But I'm just using regular 651 for both of these for now and then I'm going to go back and change it. But for the most part I'm using just this stencil vinyl here. But then when I go to cut out another one like this for the girl I'm going to be using the premium holographic setting right here. So for the first part I'm going to cut out two of these and then I'm going to go back and do another one with the premium vinyl. So I will finish this up. I will cut it out. I'll weed it out and then I'll show you the next step of putting it onto your glass mug. All right so I have my files cut out here is the girl one and then here is the guy one. I already put this one on transfer tape. I kind of jumped the gun on this one. But I will show you how to do this. I'm going to show you this one really quick too. So I have the thought of putting glitter on the bottom and I really love that idea for the girl ones. I did the glitter on the bottom. I do need another coat on there but this is what it looks like. So in case you're interested in this just stay tuned to the end and I'll show you how to do this but this one is just drying. So the next part you want to do is clean your mug really well with a cotton ball and some alcohol. I already did that. I just wanted to let it dry but I wanted to show you that's very important to do is clean your project before you start working on it and make sure it dries. So the next part you want to do is figure out which hand you want to do it. So I know a lot of people that are right-handed. My daughter actually is left-handed. So I'm actually going to work on this side here. So I'm just going to turn it this way and I'll put my file here. But before I do this I always like to have like a line to see how high to put it up. So I found that an electrical tape here, this little piece of electrical tape is the perfect size down on here. So I'm going to show you really click how I did this. So I just flip over my mug and then I take a dry race marker because you can easily wipe this off and I just lay it flat on here just like that. So then I just take it and I just turn my mug as I'm holding it here. I'm not moving this at all. It's going to give me a straight edge on here. So here it is. I don't know if it shows up very well but you got the line on there. So now I have something to judge on here where I should put the file. So now I can take my file that I already put the transfer tape over and line it up here really well. I'm trying to do this so you guys can see it well. So I'm just taking... Another thing I have to think about is you have the line here where they put it together. So you kind of gauge where you want it, where the middle is on here. So I'm kind of going closer to the handle here but now I'm just taking the file up at the top and line it up straight with the line that I made and that will ensure that my whole file is going to be straight. So once you've got it on you just push it with your fingers just like that. So the line is up there but I didn't go too high to the line where my file is on it. I just went just enough up to it. I don't know if it shows up but when I pull the transfer tape up it should pull most of that color up. Otherwise if it doesn't you can just take some cotton ball with some alcohol and pull it off. See it's pulling it off already. So now you just pull back your transfer tape and your vinyl will stay behind. Oh my gosh I love this. So now I still have a little bit of purple at the top. I'm just going to take a cotton ball with some alcohol on it and just lightly rub it off. That's why a dry erase marker works really well so it doesn't take any of your file off but there's that one. Okay so to do the glitter one it's pretty much the same process. You want to make sure your mug is really clean. So instead of looking it upside down and doing it we're going to leave it upside right but for the size of my glitter where I want it to go like this one I actually used the piece of electric the electrical tape and then also a cover to the glitter and that's the height that I got for this one here. So to do that you're just working with upside right so you're going to go upside right you're going to take your dry erase marker and lay it on here really flat just like that. So now you have the line on here where you can take your electrical tape and put it all the way around for the next step if you want the glitters. I'm just taking a really long piece. I'm going to cut it off. Now I'm going to flip it upside down and work backwards. So now maybe that's a better angle for you guys. So you can see the line on here up here so you can see the line here so I'm working upside down now. So now I'm going to take my tape and I'm just going to line it up with the bottom part of the line that I just made and then you just follow it around making sure your butt up to the line. If you're not you can just easily peel it off and then go back because you want this to be nice and straight and then when you get to the edge here the way I did it is I just put it here and then I just took another piece of electrical tape and you could buy this electrical tape at the dollar store and then I just went over the top because I don't want to go on to the handle itself but over the top. You can do the handle if you want but I'm just choosing not to because I think it'll be easier to not do the handle. So now you want to go back and you want to erase all of the mark that you just put here and if you still have some on there afterwards or if it's under the tape that's okay because you can always go later on with some with another cotton ball and get it off but you want to also when you're doing this push on your tape really well so it doesn't you know so your mod podge that you use next isn't going to seep through. So there's that part so the next part you're going to want to do is take some mod podge and I just bought a little bottle of mod podge from the dollar store just a little guy goes a long way and then I bought this glitter from Walmart but they do actually sell a little bottles of glitter at the dollar store as well so I have multiple colors here but the first part you want to do is just take a foam brush again dollar store I buy a lot of stuff from the dollar store pretty much everything that I'm using except for the glitter came from the dollar store so then you just want to take it and brush down just down strokes and you can go over your tape there it's not going to hurt anything and depending on if you want to do the bottom of your mug you most certainly can I choose not to so I just go pretty much to the tip here of sorry I keep pity on my camera I go to the tip here so it has a nice clean edge so I'm just going to do this all the way around and make sure you have nice even strokes and that you don't have like a bunch in one spot like right here because that will show up later on and this is this is just your first coat you're going to be doing many more of these depending on how dark you want it to be so just have that in mind when you put your glitter on that you're going to do it more than once the next part I'm going to do is grab my glitter and put my glitter on so I'm actually going to use this gold color and then I have a piece of paper to catch all of my glitter that I'm going to be putting down so I'm not wasting anything so then you just take your glitter and you just pour it on and you're not wasting anything because it's all going to go right back in the jar so just like this and if you miss some spots that's okay because you're going to do this more than once anyway but just like that and then I just tap it to make sure the excess comes off and then you can go around it one more time if you want kind of fill in the spots that you missed but you're going to go ahead and do the same process over again once it dries so if you do miss any spots you can definitely fill it in so just like that that is it that's all you have to do so before this dries before your Mod Podge dries you're going to want to take off your tape and I know that sounds weird but I've done this before many different videos and if you leave your tape on and that dries you'll pull up all of your glitter and it will not have a nice clean edge to it so I'm just going to take it and slowly peel back the tape just like that so here it is I really like how it looks you can use whatever color you want so here's the bottom I still got to take the take off which I forgot but it's nice and even everywhere and if you have a little bit of glitter I don't know if this shows up but you just take another foam brush that you have that you didn't use and you can go around it and just push it off so just like that okay so we're going to let this dry I'm going to put the glitter back into the container that's why that we have that's why we have this paper here so I'm not wasting any of this glitter and then just pour it right back in here and we're going to let this completely dry for about 10 minutes or so and then I'll show you the next part it's pretty much the same process but it's just a little bit more care that you have to put into it so I'll let this dry and I'll come right back all right so it's been about 15 minutes I actually went and did this one for the second coat I really love how it turned out it's a lot darker so I'm going to let this one dry and then still one more process to this but I'm going to show you really quick how we do the second coat to this one it's pretty much the same process you're going to take your mod podge and just go over what you just did and it sounds kind of crazy but it's not going to pull any of your stuff up so you're just going to carefully go all the way to the rim where you started and then work your way down but you want to make sure you have enough mod podge on your foam brush it's pretty much the same process now you got to be careful here because you don't want to go over your line that you work so hard on making it nice and neat so just want to get as close as you can to the edge without going over and then I like to just fan it all out after I'm done but this is pretty much it so again you can do this you don't have to do this I just said it was a great idea that Emma had so you just take it and fan it out and I'm not pushing hard on this at all I'm just lightly pulling up as I go because I don't want to pull any of this glitter up that we just put on here but the mod podge acts as a sealer and also as glue so it shouldn't pull anything up so I'm just going to go around the whole mug taking care of on the side where the handle is here and if you this is this time that if you miss anywhere or if you had any mistakes that you can clean it up easily now just doing this so now again the same process you're just going to take your glitter and put it over everywhere you just did it so I let this finish drying for about 20 minutes now and it's completely on here it looks really amazing the last part you want to do is just go over it with mod podge and this is just the sealing process so it's the same thing that you just did you just gotta go around the edges really careful you can do two or three more coats whatever you want I just did two coats on this but this is this the last part that you have to do is just make sure you go around and this is the important part where you don't have lines or big splotches of your mod podge on here and you want to make sure you get down to the end here as well because you don't want somebody touching it and then it falls off so I'm just carefully doing the top part first and then I'll do the bottom part next and then kind of go around the whole thing but if you're missing any spots or anything now is the time to do it but otherwise this is going to seal it all in so I'm just gonna finish this up and then I'll show you guys what it looks like when I'm all done with all of them I was actually doing another white one in between so once this all dries and I'm finished with this I'll show you what they all look like I love how these turned out I created many more since I finished this video I hope you learned something new and will create your own big beer mug glasses if you haven't already please hit that subscribe button and leave me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video happy crafting everyone
