I Do Crew DIY Bridal Party Wine Glasses
I always seem to get enamored with different little phrases to describe your bridal party, and this year was no different. Once I heard the phrase “I Do Crew,” I wanted (and succeeded) to put it on everything bridesmaid! So the first in a selection of the I Do Crew Projects coming out this year, I started with the perfect choice for a bridesmaid proposal, a wine glass! Wine glasses are a super cute way to invite your maids and are a particular favorite of mine because they are so easy to package into cute little boxes!
I made the decals in Glitter Seafoam Green Permanent Adhesive Vinyl, and I love how they turned out! Wine Glasses can be a little tricky to transfer to, so cut a couple extra decals and take your time with the transfer, starting in the middle of the design and working outward, once you get the hang of it it’s not too tricky!
For those of you that may want to create more personalized designs, I used the font Bebas Kai for the “I Do” and the font Rachella Script for the “crew” lettering on the Decals, which you can download for free at dafont.com.
Supplies:
Wine Glasses
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Wine Glass Cut Files
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.
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 you can do so to fit another sized glass than the ones we recommend.
Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 3.25" x 3". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning the bottom of the first set of blocks along the top of the text, as shown. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape over the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.
4. Remove the transfer tape, making sure that the whole of the design transfers from the vinyl backing to the transfer tape.
5. Now, transfer the design to your glass. Arrange the decal on about the middle of the glass, then smooth the design around the curve of the glass from the middle of the design to the edges. Smooth any air bubbles out of the vinyl, but don’t worry about the crinkling of the transfer tape with the curved surface.
6. Remove the transfer tape to leave the design on the glass. Any additional bubbles in the design can now be smoothed out with either your fingers or the smoother tool. Repeat the process with all remaining wine glasses.
