Getting ready with your bridesmaids and family is one of the best memories to start off your wedding day, and no wedding pregaming, whether mimosas or water, is complete without some fun drinkware for your ladies to use and take home! For a classic and romantic getting ready tumbler, look no further than these beauties you can make yourself!
For this set of decals, I wanted to make options for not only the bride and bridesmaids, but also for the maid or matron of honor, as well as the mothers of the bride and groom. I used the font Clarissa when designing these tumblers, which you can download for free from DaFont.com to add further personalization or to use in additional wedding projects. I cut the decals out in Purple Oracal 651 Permanent Adhesive Vinyl for clear acrylic tumblers and they came out adorable; but I can’t wait to try them on some stainless tumblers and mix and match different tumbler and vinyl colors!

Supplies:
Skinny Tumblers
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Toolset
Skinny Tumbler Design Cut File
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.
3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 2.5" x 7.5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it with the text and arranging it such that one set of the 1/2” blocks are along the left of the decal, as shown in the photos. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape over the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.
4. Now, transfer the design to your tumbler. Remove the tape and decal from the backing, making sure that the entire decal transfers to the transfer tape.
5. Arrange the design such that the short side of the transfer tape is along the top edge of the lip of the tumbler, as shown in the photos. Starting from the top and working down, trace the letters to smooth them onto the tumbler. Smooth the design to remove any air bubbles. Remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the design on the tumbler.
6. Use the smoother tool or your finger to retrace the letters after removing the transfer tape to smooth out any additional air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining tumblers.
