There's no better way to celebrate the New Year, and hopefully a New Years or Christmas Proposal, than a toast is some fun glittery DIY champagne flutes. These Bride and Tribe stemless flutes are a great choice for Bridesmaid Proposals, Gifts, or as Bachelorette Party Favors!
I made my bride flute in Oracal 651 White Permanent Adhesive Vinyl, and since I couldn’t decide between the Glitter Seafoam Green and the Glitter Rose Gold Vinyl, I ended up making Tribe decals in both colors! You may even see magically, some may say accidentally, that the flute switches colors part way through the tutorial!
This is also a great project to start with if you haven’t done much vinyl transfer on curved surfaces before, the decal is easy to weed and the stemless flutes are much easier to align and transfer to than wine glasses.
For those of you that may want to create more personalized designs, I used the font Breamcatcher for the Bride and Tribe Decals, which you can download for free at dafont.com.
Supplies:
Stemless Champagne Flutes
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Flute Design Cut File
1. After downloading the cut files, import them into the Cricut Software. After creating a new project, select Upload Image. Select the file you wish to upload and it will automatically take you to the final upload screen, where you can name the file, then select Save.
2. Cut the design(s) in your choice of permanent adhesive vinyl with the Vinyl Setting on your Cricut. The SVG Files are sized so that they will automatically cut to the size you see in the photos, but if you want to change the size to whatever you like.
3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 2" x 5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it to along the first letter of the designs with the bottom lines of the tape aligning to the text as shown above. Make sure to align it such that 1” of the transfer tape is to the left of the first letter to use in placing it properly on the glasses later.
4. After smoothing the transfer tape of the design with the smoother tool, remove the transfer tape from the backing, lifting the design from the backing with the transfer tape.
5. Using the transfer tape as a spacer, smooth the design onto the flutes, aligning the short side of the transfer tape along the top edge of the glasses. I adhered mine as shown to the right. with the tape parallel to the top of the glass just under the rim.
6. Once the transfer tape is aligned along the top, smooth it onto the glass from top to bottom. I smoothed mine by tracing the letters from top to bottom until the entire design was smoothed onto the flute,as shown to the left.
7. Once the design has been smoothed and all air bubbles are removed, remove the transfer tape to leave the design on the flute. Repeat the process for all the remaining flutes.
