Admit it, you’ve seen this beautiful beer glass svg everywhere. In Instagram posts, YouTube café vlog videos, and many other media. Beer can glasses are receiving more popularity over the years and many are starting to get their hands on them for personal use, because, why not?
These beer can glasses are designed to resemble beer can (or soda can, if you will) and they do look attractive and snap worthy. They are also very versatile. Not only beer, you can also serve coffee, tea, blended smoothies, milkshakes, and cocktails.
While it is quite aesthetic by itself, the sleek, straight-lined design makes a good surface to add custom designs on. There many choices on how to decorate beer can glasses, most popular ones are glass etching, waterslide decal, and using vinyl Cricut designs.
On this occasion, let’s dive deeper into glass vinyl application. Here in Drizy Studio, we offer cut-friendly SVG designs for your beer can glasses. You can produce this on a Cricut machine, Silhouette machine, or other types of cutting printers.
We create designs for 16 oz and 20 oz beer can glasses. They are of the same circumference but different height. So, in practice, you can also apply our 16 oz designs on your 20 oz beer can glasses if you wish.
Take a look at some of our vinyl Cricut designs. We got you covered on annual celebrations and your interests.

Looks beautiful in mock-up previews, don’t they? Now let’s ready up our printer and cut some glass vinyl and apply the beautiful beer glass svg on our masterpiece.
There are two types of vinyl that work on a glass surface, adhesive vinyl and heat transfer vinyl (HTV). However, adhesive vinyl is easier to use compared to HTV because it involves heat and if you’re not careful, you can break your glass.
We recommend using permanent vinyl for long-lasting use. You may want to check if your choice of vinyl is dishwasher safe. You can also have fun and pick up color changing vinyl, holographic vinyl, glossy vinyl, textured metallic vinyl, and a lot more range of options.
You will need:
For our project today we’ve chosen the wildflower with butterfly design from our list above. You can get it free here and another variation here. Now let’s get to work, shall we?
Place your vinyl sheet sticky side down on the cutting mat. Load the file and scale it to the size you want. Hit the start button and let the cutting machine do the work.
As you may see from the picture above, because this is quite an intricate design, some of the smaller pieces have been lifted up by the cutting process. Make sure you look for these bits when you’re cleaning your machine.
Using your tweezer/weeding tool carefully lift the cut vinyl.
We like to keep a phone/monitor standby to show the image of the file. It’s very useful to separate which to lift and which to leave behind. We don’t want our hard work to go to waste because of a misstep, don’t we?
Cut up a piece of transfer paper accordingly. Place it on top of our design, tightly press down using a scraper/squeegee, and lift.
The most common mistake in making glass vinyl is not cleaning the surface. Our hands left behind oils that cause vinyl not to stick properly and fall off after some time. Use rubbing alcohol to clean your glass.
Remove about an inch of the backing paper on one end and place the vinyl on your beer can glass. You want to make sure it sticks on as straight as possible; the backing paper helps to see if it’s in the correct alignment.
When you’re ready, you can start sticking the vinyl. To minimize mistakes, you can do it a little at a time by removing the backing paper and pressing the vinyl. When all of the vinyl is applied, press down with a scraper.
These are our finished beer can glasses. We had a refreshing soda drink at the end of this crafting project. You can also take a look at the whole process in the video version on our Instagram page here.
