DIY HTV Groomsmen Getting Ready Koozies

See this content in the original post

No better way to keep your drink cold and match as a group than koozies! These modern and classic groomsmen koozies are a great choice not only to mail as groomsmen proposals to any of your groom’s out of town bridal party members, but also for getting ready drinks for the boys on your wedding day.

I used Silver HTV  for the Groomsman and Best Man decals and Silver Glitter HTV for the Groom’s on Black Koozies, but it’s easy to completely personalize the color combination to your own wedding colors and metallics.


I used the fonts Clarissa and Generica designing these decals, which can be downloaded for free at dafont.com to further personalize the koozies with your groomsmen’s names, your wedding date, or anything you like!


Supplies:

Blank Koozies
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat

Koozie Design Cut Files


  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 the select Save. 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 you can do so to fit the koozies the way you like.

  2. After selecting “Make It” Make sure to select the Mirror Mode on the cutting screen. Cut the design(s) in your choice of heat transfer vinyl with the Iron On (for Easyweed Vinyl) or Iron On+ (for Glitter Vinyl) Setting on your Cricut, with the shiny side of the material down.

5. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting and press the iron down firmly on the design, not ironing but rather using it as a small heat press. The koozie design should be completely covered by the iron. Pressing the iron on the design for 15 - 30 seconds, mine took only 20 seconds. :) I’m always a little nervous about ironing koozies, so I check them every 5 seconds or so until the design has transferred. :)

6. Remove the backing from the design, leaving the design on the koozie. Repeat with all the remaining koozies.

3. Weed the additional material off of the backing material so that, looking down with the shiny side up, you can see your design with the correct orientation.

4. Center the design in the middle of the koozie. Arrange the design shiny side up, then cover with parchment paper. Make sure to keep the parchment paper between the design and the iron.
