These gorgeous woodland foil vinyl mug decals are a simple way to spruce up plain white coffee mugs. Designer Krista illustrated these woodland animals in homage to traditional Scandinavian iconography. The simplicity of the designs, in tandem with the shimmer of the foil vinyl, exudes such refinement. Your guests won’t believe that you created these yourself!
To get started, see our tools and materials list below. Then download either our SVG file or PDF template to make your own woodland mug decals.
Sipping on Scandinavian Style
We love the simple, clean lines of Scandinavian design and have incorporated this style into many of our DIY home decor projects such as our kitchen containers and our pillows. We also love designing woodland creatures. So any time we can combine what we enjoy, it’s a lot of fun for us.
The pattern for our woodland foil vinyl mug decals includes the designs for a fox, owl, and bear. You can choose just one to make or create all three in any color you want. Of course you can use these designs to make other home decor, too. We’d love to see how you get creative, so feel free to share photos on our Facebook page for members or by tagging #MadeWithLia on Instagram.

Tools
- Cutting Machine (recommended)
- Detail Knife (if cutting by hand)
- Coffee/Tea Mugs
Materials
- Cricut Adhesive Metallic Foil — Teal, Copper, and Burnt Copper (or you can use these colors from 143 Vinyl: Luster Teal, Brushed Gold, and Brushed Copper)
Instructions
Due to the intricate details, these vinyl mug decals will be much easier to make with a cutting machine. But if you do want to cut these by hand, we have included a PDF template for you to use rather than an SVG file. Once you have cut your woodland decals out, just stick them onto your mugs and enjoy!

I plan on trying these with my mug press and sublimation. They are adorable 🥰
That would be beautiful! Share photos. 😉
I just made a set of 4 as a wedding present for my daughter’s friend. Since there were only three designs, I just doubled up on the bear in a different color. I love them!!!! Thanks for the SVG! Is there a way to upload a picture of them? I don’t Instagram or any of the other things. Thanks!
Hi Rebekah! We’re so happy that you enjoyed the project and we would love to see the photos you have, you can send those to hello@liagriffith.com
Happy Crafting!
These are beautiful! Can’t wait to make a few … one to keep and one to share! Do you usually hand-wash them after the vinyl is applied?
Thank you! Yes we love these as gifts. Definitely hand wash, the foil may not stay on as well as the regular vinyl material.
the metallic foil is removable…how long will these last on a mug if hand washed? They are adorable!
We don’t really know yet since this is a new project, and we’ve only washed the mugs a handful of times. So far, so good! Just be gentle with hand washing 🙂
Thanks for the quick response…will have to try them out!
