Hi Friends! Do you love to personalize things?? So do I! It makes such a difference between a gift and an amazing gift. People love to receive items that are handmade and that have their name on it.
This is one of the many reasons I love my Cricut Explore! You can customize anything and save so much money on making gifts for friends or loved ones. Today I have a quick tutorial on how to glitter a tumbler and a whole set of FREE split letter monogram files.

This is one of my last glitter tumbler tutorials for you and I finally made a video of the first part of the process! I know, a little backward, but it’s also one of the easiest steps.
This time I purchased a powder coated clearance mug at Wal-Mart for $5 so I didn’t even have to spray paint the bottom coat! Check out the video tutorial on how to apply the mod podge and glitter below!
Once the glitter layer is dry, you will want to add your first layer of epoxy. For my full tutorial on how to apply epoxy resin with video click here! If you would prefer to use mod podge instead of epoxy, click here for tutorial.
After your first layer of epoxy is completely dry, you’ll want to add your vinyl (I used holographic vinyl) decal. Check out my tutorial here on how to apply vinyl to a stainless steel cup easily.
I added the split letter monogram with a name on the front and an image I found on google of a dog to the back. Then you’ll apply the second layer of epoxy resin and you’re done! The holographic vinyl is fun and looks different colors in different lighting. I love it!

You can use the script split letter monogram files to personalize bags, tiles, mugs, signs, t-shirts, etc… But please for personal use only.
Tiles are an inexpensive and easy Cricut gift to make for weddings or anniversaries. Here is a different split letter monogram tile I made last year just to give you an example.

Hi. I’m having a hard time downloading some of the split letter fonts. The group with the “M” and the group with the “S”. I didn’t have an issue with the “A” group. Not sure what I’m doing different.
Leap of Faith Crafting says
HI Susan, not sure what’s going on. Try them again. I went through them and made sure they all opened and that I could download them. I had the wrong link to one of the links…eek! See if they work now. Thanks for letting me know!
Susan says
Yes, I got them to work. I was putting them in my SCAL and wasn’t adjusting them properly. Thank you so much for doing this!
Antoinette says
What font was the split letter for the cup that says “Amy” ? Thanks
Leap of Faith Crafting says
Hi Antoinette, the split letter was a file I got online and it was already split with the flourish. I’m pretty sure it’s a free split font, so if you google “free split letter” or something similar it should come up in the image section.
