Love Nightmare before Christmas? Love Coffee, Tea or Hot Cocoa? Then these F R E E Jack Skellington Mugs are for you! They are the perfect Halloween mug celebrating The Nightmare Before Christmas!
I love fun mugs and I love to make sure I encompass all beverage drinkers! I puffy heart coffee but I know my BFF Heidi from Happiness is Homemade loves tea and my kids want fun mugs but they drink hot chocolate, so I love to offer all the options!
You will find a Jack Skellington coffee mug, a tea mug and a hot cocoa mug. Similar to the Grinch Inspired Mugs and my Witch before Coffee mugs as well.
You need a few simple supplies to complete these Halloween mugs! You can find more about the cutting machines I use (I use both!) on their pages! Check out all about Cricut here and all about Silhouette here.

– How to Upload an SVG to Cricut Design Space
– How to Upload an SVG to Silhouette Studio - Resize if Needed
Resize the design to fit your particular mug.
- Cut your Vinyl.
It’s now time to cut your vinyl. You may find detailed info for cutting on both Silhouette and Cricut below if you are not familiar:
– How to Cut Adhesive Vinyl with a Cricut
– How to Cut Adhesive Vinyl with a Silhouette - Weed the Design
This means taking a weeding hook and removing the excess adhesive vinyl leaving only the design behind on the carrier sheet.
- Apply Transfer Tape
Cut a piece of transfer tape that covers your entire vinyl design. Adhere the transfer tape to the design by using the scraper tool.
- Apply the Vinyl Design
Carefully remove the paper carrier sheet leaving your design adhered to the transfer tape. Position the tape/design on your mug smoothing out any air bubbles or wrinkles with your finger or the scraper tool.
You may find an in-depth tutorial on correctly applying craft vinyl here.
Remove the transfer tape carefully, leaving your design behind on the mug.

Fran says
Can you use the Cricut joy to make these? I downloaded all three designs to make – but it said not compatible…
I’m old and trying to learn this, not going so well! Ha!
Cheryl Spangenberg says
Hi Fran, it sure is compatible with the Joy! My guess is that upon upload, the file is just too large width wise and once you resize it should work fine!
