diy: travel photo tumbler cover

while on one of my trips to michael's i saw a traveler photo tumbler on clearance and i thought why not, i'm a sucker the clearance aisle. earlier that day i also made a trip to target and obviously had to stop by the dollar section and found superman stickers. so of course i had to buy a few of the sticker packets. when i saw them i instantly thought of youtuber jim chapman's wall that he used in past videos. i thought the idea was so neat and wanted to do something similar, but superman. and when i got the tumbler at michael's a light bulb went on. so here is a my take on decorating a traveler tumbler inspired by this.

stickers, stickers, stickers everywhere.

what you'll need:

• traveler photo mug
• loads of stickers (one packet will be just fine)
• white sheet of paper (or you can use the paper insert that comes in the tumbler)
• scissors

how to:

• if you don't want to use the insert that comes with the tumbler, trace the shape of the insert to a white sheet of paper. you should also do this regardless, just in case you want to make more inserts (beware you will)!
• once you have your insert, start placing your stickers randomly. i randomly placed the bigger ones throughout the sheet of paper. then i filled in the blanks with the smaller ones. keep pilling on the stickers until you can no longer see the insert. 
• use the scissors to trim off any excess sticker that might have gone of the edge of the insert. 
• tip: if you have access to a laminater, you can laminate the insert. i go to lakeshore, which has locations across the country. (i highly suggest you laminate the inserts if you can cause it'll protect it if waters seeps through the seal.)
• once your insert is done, just insert it back into the tumbler, seal it, and tada! its ready for travel.

all the stickers on the insert!
it came out super! (yeah, i went there)

i might have gone a little crazy and made a few more inserts, cause if i learned anything from rachel zoe its options, options, options. i used old calendars and scrap-booking paper to more inserts. i just used the tracing of the original insert and used it to trace on the paper. so now i have multiple options to fit any mood. beware, you'll get a little addicted! 

how did your inserts turn out? did you end up making a ton too? leave your thoughts and comments below!
