Summer Tumbler

The sun is out and I’m ready to spend long days by the pool. Stay hydrated with this cute summer themed tumbler. Make one for yourself and one to gift.

MADE BY: AMANDA TIBBITTS   |   TIME: 20 MINUTES
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED BEGINNER |  SIZE: VARIES

Supplies:

• Permanent Glue Dots®
• DIY Tumbler
• 3 coordinating sheets of summer patterned paper or card stock
• Summer Die Cuts
• Pencil
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Most DIY tumblers come with a template inside. If your tumbler doesn’t come with a template, you can wrap a piece of printer paper around the tumbler and make marks on it to create your own template.
   
2. Trace the bottom 2/3 of the template onto the back side one sheet of patterned paper.
   
3. Trace the top ½ of the template onto the back side of a second sheet of patterned paper.
4. Cut out both traced areas.
   
5. Use Permanent Glue Dots® to attach the patterned paper, layering the top piece over the bottom piece.
6. Cut a ½” strip of paper from the third sheet of patterned paper.
7. Use Permanent Glue Dots® to attach the strip of paper over the join from step 5. Cut off any overhanging parts of the strip.
   
8. Use Permanent Glue Dots® to attach the die cut pieces to the insert. Make sure to stay about ½” away from all edges.
9. Roll the insert into a cone shape and put inside the tumbler (This step is the hardest. It takes some trial and error to get it rolled up just right).

Notes:

Permanent Glue Dots® were chosen for this project because of their super sticky hold and how thin they are. They don’t add bulk when layering, yet hold up to the jostling of fitting the insert back into the tumbler.

Turn this tumbler into a fun gift by putting some single packet drink mixes or candy into the tumbler before gifting.
