- Hello.
Today, we're going to be customizing--
(plastic crinkling)
(Mira sighing)
Starbucks cups.
We have this massive sleeve of cups,
and I think it's been a while
since we've customized these in a video.
So I kinda feel like being festive,
and fall is around the corner,
we could maybe do something with that,
or, I just got those jelly gouache paints,
we could do something with that.
And I'm also looking at my Posca pens.
Needless to say, we have options.
I'm gonna stop waving this giant sleeve of cups around,
'cause I think I'm gonna hurt myself.
Let's get started, make some art, and have some fun.
I hope you enjoy this, I hope you feel welcome here.
If you are new to the art family, feel free to subscribe.
Introduce yourself down below in the comments,
and let's have a good time.
(upbeat music)
Okay, I have to pick the sleeve up again
because we actually need to break it open and get some cups.
(plastic crinkling)
I don't know how many we're gonna customize
in this video,
but these I believe are all their large sizes, venti?
Venti.
Anyway, I'm just over here using my reusable Starbucks cup.
Starbucks, if you wanna sponsor me, I'm your girl.
Enough of my money goes to you anyway, so.
I already know what I wanna do for this first cup.
Let's come over here, get some colors.
(upbeat music)
(markers falling on desk)
Ooh, this is gonna be fun.
So as I said, I'm thinking something kind of festive.
And I think I'm just gonna dive right into it,
I don't need to sketch it out on the cup.
Nobody has time for that, we're just goin' for it.
So, I have my Copics, maybe I should swatch these.
Copic paper.
I forget which ones ran out of ink,
I desperately need to get refills.
Mm, good thing I tested it, out of ink.
(upbeat music)`
Ooh, nice and juicy, don't even need to refill,
perfect color.
We're goin' in, let's do this.
So first things first,
we need to create some little drippys.
(upbeat music)
Time to color it in.
(upbeat music)
Step one is done.
Okay, now I need to decide a color for the rest of this cup.
See, what I'm going for is like a fall vibe.
I don't want it to be like Halloween vibe though,
it's gotta be like fall.
I'm goin' for a foodie kinda,
ooh I really like this color.
We're good, we decided.
One swatch decided.
Now I need to do the rest of this cup
before we do what's coming next.
(calm music)
That first sip feeling got awfully streaky.
(Mira laughing)
Guys, I might be runnin' out of ink
and I don't know if I have a refill for this one,
let me check, let me check.
What is this one?
Caramel.
It's gonna be a no from me.
Oh no, I already started this cup.
We're gonna just try to get as much ink
as we can out of it, and like hope for the best.
Do you think we'll make it?
Yes or no?
Drop your guess down below.
(intense music)
I'm at least gonna try to do the front of the cup
where the logo is because I want that to look good.
(marker squeaking)
I am an optimist,
we are going to have enough ink to get around this cup.
If we don't make it,
then I guess I will do another Starbucks cup video
next month and try to redeem this cup.
I don't know, we'll see.
(intense music)
I think we're gonna make it, I do.
This is very suspenseful to me.
(intense music)
We made it around the whole cup, the cup is colored.
I'm gonna leave this marker sit for a couple minutes
so I can touch this up.
I recently tested these AmazonBasics markers
and I really loved them,
so I want to use them to draw some designs on this cup.
And I'm also gonna be getting a little crazy
with this cup because we're gonna be whippin' out
some nail polish at some point, maybe some Posca pens,
this cup is just gonna be, ooh, we need colored pencils.
I'm telling ya, this cup is just gonna be something,
that's what.
By the way, if you wanna know
what I did with the AmazonBasics colored pencils,
I like to find teachers, and counselors, and stuff
in Columbus that interact with kids who maybe need supplies,
and they usually find students and children
who could use them.
So somebody in Columbus has them now.
Let's see what we can do with this.
We can do a little bit of shading perhaps.
I don't know if this is the color I wanna be using now,
but we'll see.
(calm music)
Okay, so at this point on the cups, I am just doodling
a bunch of little things that make me feel
like the cozy elements of fall are on their way.
(calm music)
Okay, we have a couple oak leaves,
and I kind of like them just being the outline.
So let's do some other more solid things.
I think this burgundy color is really fun,
so I have an idea.
(calm music)
Baby coffee mugs.
Ooh, okay I'm gonna try something with this.
See if I can do some light colored pumpkins maybe.
(calm music)
It doesn't show up amazingly, we'll do a different color.
(calm music)
We need to do some sprinkles.
(calm music)
Yummy.
Hmm, I wonder if it would look cool
to do like some thick leaves with this goldish color.
(calm music)
Okay, I need to find a nice kinda darker color.
(marker squeaking)
This one.
Oh, this is like the same color as that other one.
(calm music)
Little acorns, oh my goodness.
(calm music)
I feel like we need just some polka dots too, for texture.
(calm music)
So remember how I said we were going to bust out
the nail polish for this cup.
It is time.
Let's open this up and decorate our cup.
Okay, so since this is a fall themed, cozy thing cup,
I feel like we need a little bit of pizzazz here,
and I just wanna do some metallic spots.
Ooh, I should be careful that I don't smudge it though.
Oh, that's gonna look so cool.
I thought about using my gold leaf marker,
but that felt, I don't know,
like it wouldn't fit the color scheme the way I was hoping.
And this nail polish was kinda nice, and warm, and orangy.
All right, I'm gonna let this dry
and then we'll see if it needs anything else.

Well, we finished our cups,
and I am currently looking around my desk
and the floor beside me,
and I'm a little shocked at how many art supplies
we actually used to do these.
I have colored pencils on the floor,
I have those Amazon markers, Pasca pens,
Holbein acrylic gouache, jelly gouache.
We did so much in this video.
All right, a little bit of recap,
and with this, I would love it if you would tell me
what your favorite cup is in the comments.
So our first cup here is this lovely fall one.
We even used nail polish,
we used a nail polish also.
Anyway, yeah, there are some lovely
metallic polka dots here.
I really love this cup because I wanted the chocolate
drizzle to really pop and kind of make this feel like,
since this is a cup, I dunno,
maybe a dessert is inside.
So that was fun.
And then I tried to keep the leaves,
and the pumpkins and stuff relatively subtle,
and stick with oranges and browns since,
you know, that's what the chocolate has.
This was a really fun one, I enjoyed it a lot.
It actually reminds me of a cup I've done in the past,
let me show you.
Do you guys remember this summery,
ice cream drizzle cup we did?
Well, they kinda remind me of each other.
I don't think that was intentional either,
I think it just kinda happened
because I'm just excited for fall.
(laughing)
All right, here is the second cup we did.
I feel like this one completely radiates happiness.
If you're havin' a bad day
and you get a cup that looks like this,
wouldn't you be happier?
There's stars, and rainbows, and just happy colors.
I dunno, it makes me really happy.
And then this one, believe it or not
has been living inside my mind for months.
I've been wanting to do this exact cup
in a video for forever, but I'm always like, no,
maybe I should do something more detailed.
And today I was like, I'm just gonna do it.
Sometimes simplicity brings out some really cool things,
and I'm really happy with it.
This is something that I actually want to DIY
on a flower pot eventually,
so it's nice to have some practice with a Starbucks cup.
Well, I hope this video inspires you
to create something, and have fun in the process.
Art is a beautiful thing because it doesn't have to be
serious all the time, we can doodle,
and we can draw fun little rainbows,
and stars all over a cup if we want, or just whatever.
Art doesn't always have to be a masterpiece
and I think that's the beauty of it.
I think that's why I like experimenting with you guys,
we can bond over that.
Yeah, it's really special.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope you have a beautiful day and I'll see you soon.
Good bye.
