This easy DIY mason jar tumbler with vinyl decals is an easy craft, perfect way to re-use a mason jar and makes a great gift!

Hey there! It's Kelly from Brush & Thread Studio and I'm so excited to share one of my favorite new projects! I saw some cute mason jar tumblers on Etsy and wanted one so badly but I just couldn't justify spending over $30 on something I thought I could make myself. I'm just the kind of person that has to "DIY before I buy!"

This project requires permanent vinyl lettering. You can make some yourself if you have a Cricut (or another cutting machine) or buy some from a small shop.

If you just want to add vinyl to a cup, we have a tutorial for how to cut and apply vinyl decals to tumblers with Cricut machine! You might also like this DIY Tumbler stickers project. Check out all of our craft ideas here.

DIY Mason Jar Tumbler

What You'll Need:

Large Mason Jar - Similar on Amazon
Spray Paint
Glitter
Mod Podge
Permanent Vinyl Letters
Mason Jar Straw Lid Insert

How To:

Make sure your surface is clean and tape off the area you want to paint. Spray it with gold metallic spray paint and let it dry.
Rub your vinyl letters onto the mason jar. Be sure to press the the vinyl down throughly since the jar has a bumpy surface.
Mix the glitter with the Mod Podge on a paper plate.
Brush a generous amount over the spray paint. This will also help seal the paint.

Let it dry for at least 30 minutes. Place the lid insert in the top, and now you can use them!

Pro Tips

Vinyl letters are easier to transfer onto another surface with transfer tape. Check out our full tutorial for how to use transfer tape!
Make sure you look at what size of top you have for your mason jar tumbler. This is particular jar is a wide mouth and any regular sized mason jar accessories will not fit it.

Washing/Care Instructions: Hand Wash ONLY.

When the drink you put in it is very cold or when you wash it, the Mod Podge will start to appear white again. Don't worry, this goes away.

Cost comparison:

Mason Jars - 2 for $3.00 (glass was half off at Hobby Lobby)
Spray Paint/Modge Podge/Glitter - already had it, so FREE!
Straw Lids - similar on Amazon (mine were $2.50 on Etsy)
Vinyl - $2.00
Total: $7.50 for two mason jar tumblers!

Below are the printable instructions.
