It is no secret that I love my coffee. I also like personalized cups and have a few more than the average person (I cycle them through as water cups at work). After seeing a custom Starbucks cup on Pinterest, I knew that I needed to make myself my own personalized Starbucks cup.
Custom Starbucks Cup
I started with a clear acrylic tumbler and the logo SVG file from Cut by Connie. The font for the name is Aharoni. The Silhouette School Blog features a great tutorial on how to curve text. This is how you will fit your name into the shape. Size the shape to about 3.5″ in diameter.
When I was creating the shape, I found that it was helpful to color the design so that I could make sure that I removed all the unnecessary points. When I originally started working on the design, some of the shapes had extra lines (like the words – they were double outlined).
For the vinyl, I used the dark green from this assortment. Make sure that you use permanent vinyl so that it stays on even through the dishwasher.
I love how this cup turned out. It would work great on a hot coffee cup as well, but I have a bunch of the cold tumblers already. I’ve already taken it to work for the cup of the month (I keep making more cups and just cycle them through). What do you think? What would you put on a cup?
This post is provided for personal use only. It is no way affiliated with Starbucks. I had fun making this personalized Starbucks cup for myself and thought that some others would enjoy seeing it as well.

Kendra says
Sorry, I’m not selling these.
Kendra says
Cab you send me your svg file?
Kendra says
I don’t have the file anymore, I switched computers and it got lost in the transition.
mICHELLE says
I have been to the web page that you had a link to, the one where the Starbucks logo is supposed to be and I see a bunch of really cool logos that you can manipulate, but I’ve never seen the Starbucks logo there. Do you know something I don’t know? LOVE this cup by the way!
Kendra says
Did you click on the “Cuts By Connie” link? It goes directly to her page with this SVG file.
Jackie keys says
Can you p,ease tell me the name of the font you used and where you got it, I have it all figured out but my fonts don’t look right. Thanks do much
Kendra says
The font name is Aharoni. I believe that it came installed on my computer.
Chica says
Kendra, Good morning I just found your blog. This is a neat idea for some gifts for Christmas but when I click on the links the starbucks is no longer available is there anyway you can send me it to me thru email. I tried clicking on her link cuts by Connie but it does not let me download it. I would really be grateful.
Kendra says
The SVG is showing as available for me here: http://cutbyconnie.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-starbucks-coffee-cup.html

Kylie Martin says
HI Kendra, I am just getting started on my cricut explore. I have read online that you can only edit the Starbucks file to change the name, etc. if you have a Silhouette. Do you know if this is true? I am really wanting to make this for mom, whose name is Kendra as well! Could you email the png. or online image of Kendra’s copy if possible?

I just got a Cricut Explore One and was able to make to make work off the svg file….it is in two layers and I had to separate the ring with the name to do any editing. Happy crafting, hope this helps.
