One of my favorite bachelorette party themes is a Mean Girls theme, and I actually got to plan one a couple years ago for one of my best friends bachelorette party in Las Vegas! I revisited the idea for these cute koozies, though you could easily use them for almost any bachelorette party theme you like. :) I made them in two different ways, one with only one color and the second in two colors, because I always like the bride to stand out.
I made these koozies in a variety of colors. For the single color koozies, I used pink HTV and rose gold glitter HTV on black koozies and white HTV on pink koozies. The two colored koozies I had fun with, making them a mix of pink words with a silver confetti “Sip.”
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.
Single Colored Koozies
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 (I used White Easyweed HTV, Pink Easyweed HTV, and Rose Gold Glitter HTV) 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.
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.
5. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting and press the 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, pressing in 5-10 second intervals and checking. Generally, my koozies took 15-20 seconds but you can always set your iron to a little lower temperature if you are nervous. :)
6. Remove the backing from the design, leaving the design on the koozie. Repeat with all the remaining koozies.
Dual Colored Koozies
2. After selecting “Make It” Make sure to select the Mirror Mode on the cutting screen. You will notice that the Cricut software divides the design colors into separate mats on its own. Cut the designs 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.
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. To keep your spacing correct, make sure not to separate your lines (“You can’t” and “with us”) from each other when you are weeding and cutting out your designs.
4. Start by aligning the top and bottom words (“You can’t” and “with us”) along the top of the koozie as shown below. It should be arranged such that the top line is following the top of the koozie and the bottom line is near the bottom of the koozie.
5. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting and press the 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, pressing in 5-10 second intervals and checking. Generally, my koozies took 15-20 seconds but you can always set your iron to a little lower temperature if you are nervous. :)
6. Remove the backing to leave your first color of HTV on the koozies.
7. Now, center the middle of the design (“Sip) in between the already ironed on HTV lines of the koozie as shown below. Arrange the design shiny side up, then cover with parchment paper. Make sure to keep the parchment paper between the design and the iron.
8. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting and press the the iron down firmly on the design, not ironing but rather using it as a small heat press. Repeat the same ironing process as above for the second design color.
9. Remove the backing from the design, leaving the completed design on the koozie. Repeat with all the remaining koozies.
