I can not believe we are halfway through October! That means its time for chi latte’s and pumpkin spice, so that’s why you need this Free Starbucks Inspired Disney Maleficent SVG! You will also learn how to layer vinyl in this post.
Layering vinyl is pretty easy, people tend to overthink it. I have made it extra easy in my Free Starbucks Inspired Disney Maleficent SVG, I made sure it has registration marks so you can easily overlap the layers.

What You’ll Need To Layer Vinyl
Here are some of the things that you will need to layer vinyl for this craft and others.
- Kassa Permanente Adhesive Vinyl
- Transfer Tape
- Kassa Squeegee/Scraper
- Reusable Plastic Coffee Cups
- Acetone
- Cotton or Paper towel
- Weeding Tool
- The free svg, you can grab both below
- Cutting Machine
How many layers of vinyl can you layer?
I have layered as many as 5-6 layers on 1 project, the thing to keep in mind is that your design gets thicker with each layer. Also, some types of vinyl are thicker to it may take fewer layers to get to where its no longer attractive.
Can you layer vinyl on top of glitter vinyl?
Glitter has grains, which make it hard to layer on top of it, however, you can layer glitter vinyl over top of the regular adhesive.
I love a good and cheap project and this one will cost you less than $3 to make each 1! Yup, these are dollar tree mugs, and I just removed the words that were on the front and made it my own.
I can not live without coffee so these are one of my favorite things to make. Well, I love doing cups in general. I bet you’re tired of hearing me talk, so let’s get to it!

Materials
- Permanente Adhesive Vinyl
- Transfer Tape
- Squeegee/Scraper
- Reusable Plastic Coffee Cups
- Acetone
- Cotton or Paper towel
- Weeding Tool
Tools
Instructions
- Gather all of your supplies
- Apply the acetone to your paper towel or cotton and remove the words from the cup using a circular motion
- In your cutting program resize the images to 4 inches and cut
- Remove from the mat and weed out the voided areas
- It should look like these when you are done
- Cut a piece of transfer paper just large enough to cover your design
- Grab 1 layer of the design
- Place it over your design
- Use your scraper to remove the air between the design and the transfer paper
- Next, grab the other piece of your design line up the registration marks between the 2 layers
- Repeat step 8
- Your vinyl is now layered the way it should look on your cup
- Remove the paper backing by gently peeling it away
- Place the design onto your cup, I like to secure the middle then 1 side at a time
- Again use the scraper to transfer the vinyl from the transfer sheet onto the cup
- Hand wash only
You will place the second layer on vinyl right on top of the first layer of vinyl. Take your time because once it is down, it is almost impossible to pull up and then not only will your top layer be ruined but also your bottom.
For best results, keep your design to four or fewer layers. With each applied layer, the design becomes thicker and stiffer and may not appear as desired. If possible, allow the liner area of inner and top layers to be large enough to cover the bottom layer.
