Tips for Applying Quotes to Tumblers
Choosing Fonts and Placement
Think of your tumbler as a mini billboard. Fonts should be bold and legible. Mix script fonts with block styles to emphasize key words. Play with curve effects to wrap your quote around the tumbler seamlessly.
Using Decals vs. Hand Lettering
If you’re a beginner, vinyl decals are your BFF. For a more handmade look, try hand lettering with paint pens—just seal them afterward. Either way, check out Tumbler Crafts Tutorials for detailed guides.
