DIY Project Sharing | Summer Vibes Vinyl Sticker Design

This output was inspired by the refreshing feeling of summer days, where staying hydrated is essential yet fun.
‎I wanted to create a vinyl sticker set that would brighten up tumblers, making each sip feel like a summer escape. But these aren’t just for tumblers—also great to stuck on gadgets, lunchboxes, storage, and other things you want to personalize with summer vibes.

‎ DESIGN CONCEPT >
‎At the center of the design is a “Stay Hydrated” quote to serve as a daily reminder. Surrounding it are cute illustrations of cool drinks, fruits, and tropical plants, carefully handpicked from the library of summer illustrations here. It reminds me of picnics and beach trips. The idea was to encourage positivity, relaxation, and self-care through hydration, which is often overlooked in busy daily life.
‎
‎ CREATIVE PROCESS >
‎Ideation: I began by brainstorming what summer meant to me – the warmth, the fruity scents, the cold drinks and beach!
‎
‎Illustration Selection: I hand-picked each illustration, ensuring they all match in color tone, style, and mood. I also added my own quote using the text option in Idea Studio.
‎
‎Color Palette: I chose a palette with pastel and vibrant hues to balance freshness with cuteness.
‎
‎Layout: Each sticker was arranged thoughtfully for users to place individually or as a cohesive scene on their tumbler.
‎
‎Testing: I printed test versions to check how they looked on my own insulated bottle, ensuring the stickers adhered smoothly and looked eye-catching even from afar.
‎
‎ PURPOSE & IMPACT >
‎This sticker set is more than just decoration; it’s a gentle reminder to take care of oneself by drinking enough water, while also expressing personal style with summer-inspired visuals that spark joy.
