❓ FAQs

Can I make these without the template?

Yes! If you know how to draw Jack Skellington freehand, you can skip the template. Keep a Jack Skellington drawing nearby for reference.

What if the template prints too small or too large?

Adjust your print scale in the menu and increase or decrease the percentage until the Jack Skellington face fits your cup.

Can I remove the design later?

Yes. Once dry, scrub gently with a sponge or use nail polish remover.

Paint pen or Sharpie: Which is better?

It comes down to preference, but many people find Sharpies give cleaner results.

Can I use plastic cups?

Absolutely! Plastic cups make it easy to enjoy these Jack Skellington crafts without worrying about damaging glassware.
