It’s that time of year again, the holidays are in full swing, and it’s the purr-fect excuse to craft something fun and festive. If you’re a cat lover like me (or just love a good pun), then this DIY “Meowy Christmas” coffee mug is going to be your new favorite thing. It's cute, it's simple, and it makes a great gift… or a treat for yourself. Because let’s be honest, you deserve it.
And to make this easy-peasy, I’m sharing a free “Meowy Christmas” printable in both PNG and JPG formats. You can use it with your Cricut, Silhouette, or even print it out and get creative. I’ve got you covered.
What You’ll Need
Before we dive in, here’s what you’ll need to make your mug:
-
A blank coffee mug, you can find these anywhere,
I found the one I used for this project at my local Dollar Tree, but availability may vary by location.
- Permanent vinyl (if using a cutting machine)
- Transfer tape (for vinyl projects)
- The free "Meowy Christmas" file (grab it below)
- A cutting machine like Cricut or Cameo Silhouette
- A cat to supervise your work… just kidding, but I’m sure mine will be watching.

How to Make Your DIY Meowy Christmas Mug
1. Download the Free File: Scroll down to grab your free “Meowy Christmas” design. It’s available in both PNG and JPG formats, so you can use it however you like!
2. Cut Your Design (Optional): If you’re using a cutting machine, upload the file into Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio, size it to fit your mug, and cut it on permanent vinyl.
3. Apply the Design:
For vinyl projects, use transfer tape to apply the design smoothly onto your mug. Make sure the surface is clean and dry!
Transfer tape is a must-have for vinyl crafting, making it easy to transfer designs from the cutting mat to your project. With different types available, it’s important to choose the right one for your needs. Here are a few examples to help you decide!
4. Enjoy Your Creation: Fill your mug with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, and enjoy it by the fire, or next to your cat. Bonus points if you’re wearing cozy socks!
