3D Round Cup Photo Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Michelle Zerull here with you today to share a photo tutorial for a fun project that I know you’re going to love. It’s the 3D Coffee Cup Round (SVG, Silhouette) file. It’s easy to put together and can be customized for any occasion. I used the Little Lumberjack Collection from Echo Park Paper top make a cute Valentine’s box for my guy.

Instructions:

  1. Using your digital cutting machine, cut out all of the pieces included in your SVG file.
  2.  Form the large dark piece into a cone shape. To do this, train the piece to curve by using a doll rod, scissors, or bone folder. Push the tabs to the center and glue as shown. Set aside to dry.
  3. There are three pieces that form the top portion of the lid. You will be using a long piece with tabs on both sides as well as two circles the same size. One of the circles has a hole in the lid. Join the long piece into a circle by placing glue on the end tab. Hold until dry. Place glue around the edge of one of the circle pieces as shown. Add glue to tabs as shown and place circle into the center connecting the two pieces. Now fold top tabs inward and place circle with a hole on top and set aside to dry while forming the bottom portion of lid.
  4. To form the bottom portion of lid, take the remaining long piece and form a circle like you did above. Apply glue to circle and adhere as shown in photo. Now flip piece over and glue remaining circle to top as a covering piece. Allow to dry.
  5. When dry, combine pieces as shown to form the lid of your cup.
  6. To form the cup sleeve, train the remaining piece to curve around the cup. You can do this by using your bone folder or whatever flat surface you have handy. Glue into place and slip around cup.
  7. Your cup is finished! Embellish as desired. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial as much as I have. The 3D Coffee Cup Round will make a great addition to your SVG library. Happy crafting!

3D Coffee Cup Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and is settling down into Winter.  If you have a coffee-lover friend’s birthday coming up soon, this is a perfect way to give them a gift certificate to their favorite coffee store. I used the adorable 3D Coffee Cup (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette Design Store) and it looks even more adorable cut from the Echo Park My Favorite Winter.

Today I have a tutorial for you on how to put this little guy together! So if you’re ready let’s go!

This little cup is plenty big enough to add a gift card along with some candy. It measures just under 5 1/2″ completed which leaves you lots of room to add many goodies.

The first thing you need to do is to choose your papers and cut out all of the pieces

For the lid: fold on all of the perforated lines and adhere all of the tabs to the underside of the neighboring piece.

Add your adhesive to the tabs shown in the picture. Flip both pieces over and adhere the smaller piece in the center of the bigger piece. This will complete the lid to the coffee cup.

For the body: Fold on all perforated lines for the cup and the sleeve. Adhere the tabs to the main part of both pieces.

Next you will need to adhere the bottom piece to the tabs.

This will complete both pieces of the coffee cup. When I added the sleeve to the cup I added some adhesive to make sure it doesn’t come off.

And the last thing to do is have fun decorating your coffee cup! There are so many great pieces in the ephemera packs, chip-boards, and sticker sheet of the My Favorite Winter collection to make your coffee cup look fun and festive! I can’t wait to give this little cutie away…I know it will make someone’s day!

So that’s all from me today! Hope you give this a try and hope everyone has a beautiful day!

A Mini Notebook

Happy 2020 everyone!  I have a fun little Winter Wonderland mini notebook to share with you today.  I created this little book to inspire me to write down motivational quotes through out the year. It has tons of pages and little pockets and little fold up pages that I added. I will share a few pages with you today.

You can find the SVG for the mini notebook here in Lori’s Shop or here at the Silhouette Design Store. It was super easy to put together and will fit in my purse easily.

Lots more pages to write all those little motivational quotes this coming year.  I’m just in love with this little project!  Wishing you a Happy 2020 and inspiration filled year!
