Future Mrs. Bachelorette Flasks

More Bachelorette party flasks are here! :) I had so much fun when I first started designing different flasks, I ended up with a whole bunch of different designs that I’ll be publishing every few weeks and will be continuing to design more so there are oodles of options!

For these flasks, weeding is what you need to be careful of as both types of text are more delicate than some of the bolder fonts, but the results are well worth it! Just be patient and you shouldn’t have any difficulties. :)

Supplies:
Flasks
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Flask 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 the 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 you can do so by BLAH

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer taper to 3.5" x 5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it to the top of the text (i.e. the “Cheers” or “Future”) with 1 -1/2” block above the text, as shown below. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles. The transfer tape should overlap the backing of the design, so that you can stick the tape to an object with the backing still on the design.

4. Now, transfer the design to your flask. If you are comfortable centering the designs you can remove the tape from the backing and directly place the design on the flask. If not, arrange the design to be centered on the flask before removing the backing, sticking it with the overlapping transfer tape.

5. Once your design is placed to your satisfaction, carefully peel the tape off the backing, transferring the vinyl to the transfer tape while not unsticking it from the flask. Remove the backing then smooth the design onto the flask, once again using the smoother to remove any air bubbles.

6. Remove the transfer tape to leave the design on the flask, then repeat the process for all the additional flasks.

DIY Iron On Bride Tribe Wedding Koozies

After making my Groomsman Brew Crew Koozies, I couldn’t leave the lovely ladies of the bridal party out of the koozie fun! So I started simple with some fun glittery Bride Tribe koozies. :)

I used a mix of Rose Gold Glitter HTV, Gold Confetti HTV, and Old Gold Easyweed HTV with a mix of white and black koozies and all of them turned out great! They are super easy to make and are perfect not only as bachelorette party favors but for bridesmaids proposals or any pre-wedding event. :)

Personally my favorite combination is below: with The Bride in Rose Gold Glitter on a white Koozie and the maids sporting Gold Confetti on black Bride Tribe Koozies; luckily there are dozens of color options so you can easily customize the colors to exactly what you want. :)

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 tank tops 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 (I used Rose Gold Glitter, Gold Confetti Glitter and Old Gold Easyweed 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, mine took only 20 seconds. :)

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

Whats better for a cruise bachelorette party than matching bridal party tank tops? :) I adored this design so much on tote bags I had to use it for tank tops as well and it looked great either way!

These are just as easy as their tote bag counter parts, and I adore the white and silver popping on darker, colorful tank tops! :)

Supplies:
Blank Tank Tops
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Tank Top Design Cut Files

1. After downloading the cut files, import them into the Cricut Software. After creating a new project, select Upload Image.

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 Silver Glitter HTV and White 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. Iron your tank top to remove any creases, then center the design over the top half of the tank top. 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. I worked from the upper left to lower right on the design, pressing the iron on each part of the design for at least 30 seconds, then overlapping the last position as you move the iron across the design.

6. Remove the backing from the design, leaving the design on the tank top. Repeat with all the remaining tank tops.

Nothing like matching tank tops to keep all your brides-mates accounted for and ready to party! What designs would you make for bachelorette tank tops? :)

Feeling Nauti Bridesmaid Flasks

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

To go with our Feeling Nauti Tote Bags, I decided to also design a set of flasks along the same theme. After all, what better accessory for a bachelorette beach bag than a matching flask? :)

The big thing with these designs is to be careful wedding the bride’s “Shipfaced” flask, the words and outline are easy but the little details in the steering wheel can be a little tougher depending on how comfortable you are weeding vinyl. I didn’t need an extra, but since they don’t take that much vinyl to make I would recommend cutting an extra just in case. :)

Supplies:
Flasks
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Toolset
Flask 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 the 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 you can do so.

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer taper to 3.5" x 5". I found that the Cricut transfer tape was easiest for this since its grid lines are in 1/2” segments. Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the bottom of the top word (“Feeling” or “Ship”) 1 1/2” from the top of your transfer tape (3 blocks down if you are using Cricut Transfer tape). Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles. The transfer tape should overlap the backing of the design, so that you can stick the tape to an object with the backing still on the design.

4. Now, transfer the design to your flask. If you are comfortable centering the designs you can remove the tape from the backing and directly place the design on the flask. If not, arrange the design to be centered on the flask before removing the backing, sticking it with the overlapping transfer tape.

5. Once your design is placed to your satisfaction, carefully peel the tape off the backing, transferring the vinyl to the transfer tape while not unsticking it from the flask. Remove the backing then smooth the design onto the flask, once again using the smoother to remove any air bubbles. I found it pretty easy to simply lift the design and transfer directly, as shown in teh photos below. Since the designs are not symmetrical, I simply aligned it to the center “block” of the transfer tape then made sure that the top of the transfer tape followed the top of the flask, as shown below.

6. Remove the transfer taper to leave the design on the flask, then repeat the process for all the additional flasks.

And now you have some cute and nautical bachelorette flasks for your favorite girls to help celebrate! :)

Who loves cruises for Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties? I know I do! I’ve had the fun of helping with one cruise ship wedding but I like it even more for bachelorette parties! To get in the spirit (and because I knew my husband will soon be attending a cruise bachelor party) these tote bags were born!

I love designing flasks for bachelorette parties, they are the perfect accessory for any group out on the town! Since I already had flasks from my previous projects, I decided to keep designing for them! :)

These flasks are a simple, cute design for any bar crawl or bachelorette party where booze is to be ingested (so pretty much all of them). Be careful when you are weeding the “Drunk” and “Mrs” middle bits, sometime they are a bit tricky.

Supplies:
Flasks
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set

Flask 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 the select Save.

Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it to the “Soon” on each decal as shown below. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.

4. Now, transfer the design to your flask. I arranged mine by the bottom of the transfer tape following the bottom of the flask with the design centered by placing the opening of the flask between the two “O’s” of the “Soon.”

5. Once your design is placed to your satisfaction, smooth the design onto the flask, once again using the smoother to remove any air bubbles.

6. Remove the transfer tape to leave the design on the flask, then repeat the process for all the additional flasks.

Just like the other flasks I’ve made, these were super simple and came out great! :) There will be plenty of future flasks, so check them out here!

DIY Bride Tribe Iron On Tank Tops

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

These are the first bridal party tank tops I’ve designed and I love how then turned out! :) They can be easily given as bridesmaid invitations, bachelorette tank tops or even getting ready tank tops! I adore this design and it would work equally well on tote bags or tshirts.

While I’ve worked a good amount with adhesive vinyl, this was the first time I worked with HTV, and I was very nervous! Luckily there wasn’t much to be worried about. :) Other than making sure the design gets mirrored (which you do before cutting) the only other question was how to best “iron it on.” As it turns out, the best way is to use your iron as a mini heat press, pressing it to part of the design, then lifting it and pressing the next piece, until the design has all been heat pressed.

Supplies:
Blank Tank Tops
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Parchment Paper
Tank Top Design Cut Files

1. After downloading the cut files, import them into the Cricut Software. After creating a new project, select Upload Image.

DIY Heart Bridesmaid Flasks

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

With all the fun I had making the Groomsman Mustache Flasks, I couldn't leave the Bridesmaids out of the shinanigans! These Heart flasks are a simple and understated way to invite your bridesmaids to your wedding party or to use as a bachelorette favor or wedding gift! And of course I included one for the Bride so that all the wedding ladies can celebrate together!

The only difficult part of this project is to make sure some of the smaller pieces of vinyl don't get removed while weeding the letters from the heart (like the middle of the "e's" and "d's") so take your time on weeding the design and cut a couple extras if you are nervous! :)

Supplies:
Flasks
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Flask 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 the 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 you can do so to fit the flask the way you like.

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer taper to 4" x 3.5". I recommend using a transfer tape with 1/2" gridlines such as the Cricut brand tape as it makes it much easier to precisely transfer to the flasks. Cut away any excess backing and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it so that the  middle on the long side of your transfer tape is centered along the middle of the heart, with the bottom of the heart at the bottom of the transfer tape, as shown below. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles. The transfer tape should overlap the backing of the design, so that you can stick the tape to an object with the backing still on the design.

4. Now, transfer the design to your flask. If you are comfortable centering the designs you can remove the tape from the backing and directly place the design on the flask. If not, arrange the design to be centered on the flask before removing the backing, sticking it with the overlapping transfer tape.  I aligned mine such that the middle of each heart was centered on the top cap of the flask and the top of the transfer tape ran along the top edge of the flask, as shown in the photos below.

5. Once your design is placed to your satisfaction, carefully peel the tape off the backing, transferring the vinyl to the transfer tape while not unsticking it from the flask. Remove the backing then smooth the design onto the flask, once again using the smoother to remove any air bubbles.

6. Remove the transfer taper to leave the design on the flask, then repeat the process for all the additional flasks.

DIY Bridesmaid Wine Glasses

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

One of my favorite things to make for bridal parties are themed glasses, whether for DIY Nights, Bachelorette Parties, Bridal Showers, or Getting ready on the big day! I will be posting on how to make your own personalized glasses in a bit, but these are more generic and can be easily used for all wedding events by your girls. 

I cut out mine using a Champagne Glitter Vinyl, but there are many options to choose from if it's not quite right for wedding party. Also worth noting, when I designed the cut files I kept the text black on a blank canvas, so on my computer then tend to be on a black background and can't be seen very well, you can right click to either copy the file or save it and it should be black text with a clear background. :)

Supplies:
Stemless Wine Glasses
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Transfer Tape
Bridesmaid Cut File
Maid of Honor Cut File

1. Download the Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor Cut File by clicking the links above, which will open the file into a new tab. right click on the picture and select "Save Picture as".  

2. Import the files into the Cricut software. You can do this by going to the software; and, after making a new project, click the "Upload Button." Then Select Upload Image

3. Click "Browse" and select the file you want to cut from your saved files. Once the file is selected, a new screen will appear to choose cut complexity. I generally find the best results on the "Moderately Complex" Setting. Click your setting of choice then click "Continue."

4. You will now be on the "Select and Erase Screen." In this case, there is nothing to erase so just press continue to go to the final screen. Here you can choose whether is is a "Print to cut" file or regular "Cut" File. Select the Cut file, then press "Save."

5. Back on the Upload Screen, Repeat Steps 1 - 4 on the "Maid of Honor" image. Once both images have been uploaded, select them from the main "Upload Screen" and click "Insert Images."

6. Both the "Bridesmaid" and "Maid of Honor" Decals should be on your Project Screen. Size your "Bridesmaid" Image to 4.5" wide and the "Maid of Honor" image to 3" tall to have them be a similar size to the glasses pictured. Then copy and paste additional decals as needed from these resizes ones. Press Continue to go to the Cut Screen.

7. On the Prepare Screen, confirm that your designs are arranged as you would like them on the cutting mat, then press "Continue." You can move any object by dragging and dropping it on the mat. Finally, load your vinyl of choice, select "Vinyl" on your machine, load your craft cutter, then press the Cricut "C" button on the cutter when it blinks.

8. Cut out your files on the adhesive vinyl of your choice and weed the extra vinyl from the design.

9. Press transfer tape along the design, aligning the text with the grid lines of the transfer tape. Use a smoother tool to release any air bubbles and the get the vinyl to stick to the tape.

10. Slowly remove the tape from the vinyl design, making sure that the design transfers from the vinyl backing to the tape.

11. Angle your text such that it leaves about an inch around the top of the glass and stick the middle of the design on the wine glass. From the middle of the glass, smooth the design along the curve of the glass from the middle to the edges. The transfer tape won't perfectly lay on the glass due to its curved surface, but the text can be smoothed on without much fuss.

12. Once design has been pressed onto the glass, slowly remove the transfer tape, confirming that the design transfers from the tape to the glass. Repeat with all your remaining glasses.

Harry Potter Wine Labels

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

Harry Potter Wine Labels? What could be more fun for our Harry Potter Bachelorette Bash! When I was designing these, I had so much fun coming up with the names that I made one for four different types of wine! And just like the Bridesmaid Proposal Wine Bottles, these are as easy as peel, stick and done!

Supplies:

Neato Wine Bottle Labels
Harry Potter Wine Printable
Wine of Choice (Labels are for Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon)
 

1.     Download the Printable and Print your labels. I have made them specifically for Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot because those are my favorites! (Yes, four favorite types of wine is totally acceptable)

2.     Soak off the Label from your wine bottles with hot soapy water. Scrub any remaining residue off with a sponge and dry the outside of the bottles.

3.     Place the square label where the old label used to be and you are done!

This is a wonderful way to add some Halloween and Harry Potter fun to your wine and it really only costs as much as the wine and a set of labels. Want to design your own labels? The company that created these label sheets has an online design studio so you can always come up with a design all your own!

Harry Potter Martini Mixer Labels

Happy Halloweentime everyone! To keep with the spooky spirit, its time for some Halloween style tutorials! First up are some labels and decorations I made for my friend's bachelorette party, which as luck would have it, was Harry Potter themed!

Since I was bringing martini mixers, wine and paper signs, I wanted them all designed for such a fun theme, so my question became, what wizard would sell martini mixers? Why Gilderoy Lockhart of course! Why?

#1 - He is beloved by ladies, ladies love martini mixers
#2- Lockhart would totally sell a mixer as a potion to his adoring fans

In true Lockhart fashion, each mixer is themed on one of his bestselling books, and for legalities they do in fact state that they “contain no magical properties” (Not that anyone who knows Gilderoy would assume they work). I ended up buying a set of martini mixers from Amazon which are what I designed my stickers to and it was perfect for having a selection of martini mixers for the bachelorette party.

Supplies:
Full Sheet Label Paper
Lockhart Labels Printable
Martini Mixers

1.     Print out Labels on Sticker Paper. Cut out with Scissors.

2.     Peel off the existing Martini Mixers and replace with the new Lockhart Labels. The original flavors are also on the new labels so I found it easiest to take off the old label and replace it one bottle at a time so that I didn’t get mixed up and put the wrong label on the wrong bottle.

And it’s as easy as that! I love being able to add little touches to themes like this with bottle labels, cheap and super cute! What Harry Potter Themed drinks would you make?

Painted Wine & Martini Glass Candles

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

I always love receiving those special painted wine glasses as gifts, but then I never end up using them! Either I want them all to match or I don’t want to deal with hand washing it every time I use it. Since I’ve been on a candle kick lately, I decided to turn them into candles! I made both Wine Glass Candles and Martini Glasses; both came out beautiful!

I used regular wicks on these candles but you could just as easily use the wood wicks as I previously did for my jar candles. Regardless of your choice of wick, this is a great way to use the extra unique glasses in your collection that or to turn into prizes for your next bridal shower or baby shower!

Supplies:

Wine or Martini Glasses
Candle Wax
Wicks
Candle Melting Pot
Essential Oils and Coloring (Optional)

1.     Melt down candle wax in pot over low heat. If, like me, you are using old candle stubs, remove the wicks from the wax when melted with a fork or tongs.

2.     Remove wax from heat. Let cool for 5-10 minutes; then stir in coloring and fragrance if desired. I used pink and purple for my glasses and a peppermint –lemon fragrance.

3.     Dip the end of your wick (the metal stand bit) into the wax then press it into the bottom of your glass. Wait for the wax to harden before pouring the candle. Note: I had no issues with the glasses and hot wax, but if you are worried about the wax being too hot, soak your glasses in hot water and dry them just prior to placing your wicks.

4.     Pour melted wax into the glasses. Reserve 25% of your wax to top off the candles as they cool. The cooler your wax prior to pouring, the less you will need to fix divots that form while cooling. Your wicks may not want to stand up straight when you pour the wax; I used a wooden stick placed on the top of the glass to balance the wick in the right position.

5.     Once the wax in the glass has hardened and cooled, re-melt the excess wax if needed and top off the candle to create a smooth top.

And there you have it, super easy prizes or as fun accessories to your house! What glasses or containers would you make candles out of?

If there is one thing I love making for Bridal Parties, it is Tumblers! They are so cute and so useful for getting ready gifts, bachelorette party favors, or even to ask your maids in the first place.

For these tumblers, I was looking for a free dream catcher file for a more unique “Bride Tribe” tumbler, but none of them were suiting my fancy. Then I found this amazing one on Etsy! For a couple bucks it was well worth the price! Better yet, its an SVG file which are super easy to import into the Cricut Craft Cutter software.

For these tumblers and many of the wedding and bridal projects you will see on this blog, having a Cricut is required. I can’t say enough good things about mine, I wish I had had it when I was crafting for my own wedding! It would have saved me hours of work and many of the projects I did would have turned out even better! If you are a crafter, a bride, or even part of the bridal party I would highly recommend one, the one-time purchase will serve you well. :) Not only can you make tumblers like these, but you can also use it for custom cut invitations, iron on clothing, paper crafts, and removable vinyl wall decorations. I could go on and on but needless to say they are awesome!

Supplies:

Gold Adhesive Vinyl
Metallic Teal Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Purple Tumblers
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Dream Catcher File
Bride File
Bride Tribe File

1.     Download the Dream catcher File and import into the Cricut software. You can do this by going to the software; and, after making a new project, click the upload button. Import the file, the click Continue.

2.    Press save for the file to be uploaded to the software, then click the image under the Upload Tab. Select Insert Images" to insert it into the current project.

3.     Size the dream catcher to 3.25” wide, then remove the unneeded cuts. For this image, ungroup the cuts using the button on the upper right.

4.     Now, select each of the first 5 cuts and press the red "x" on the image to remove it.

5.     Once the excess cuts are removed, copy and paste the number of dream catchers you need then click the "Make it" Button in the upper right. You can get up to six dream catchers per 12” x 12” sheet of vinyl. Press Continue to got to the cut Screen. On the Cricut itself, set the dial to "Vinyl", load the mat with Gold Vinyl, and press the Cricut button to cut.

6.     Similarly, import the “Bride” and “Bride Tribe” pictures into the software, sizing them to be 2.5” tall. Cut these out in the Metallic Teal Vinyl.

7.     Remove the excess vinyl (known as weeding) until just the images and words you want to transfer are remaining.

8.     Cut away the excess backing around your vinyl designs. Fix them to the vinyl mat based on how you would like them to transfer onto the tumbler. As you can see from mine, I nested the “Bride Tribe” words into the bottom right of the Dream Catcher.

9.     Cover the design with transfer paper. Push out all the air bubbles and press it into the design, such that when you lift the transfer paper the design comes up with it without its backing. I prefer the lined transfer paper as it makes it easier to orient the designs on their final resting places.

10.     Starting at the top of the tumbler, line up and press the transfer paper onto the tumbler, working top left to bottom right. Because it is curved, it will not stay exactly parallel with the top, this is ok! Pres the transfer paper as flat as you can against the tumbler, rubbing the design especially to get out any air bubbles. Lift the transfer paper, leaving the design on the tumbler.

11.     For the Bride Tumbler, I wanted the letters to overlap the Dream Catcher. So the same steps as above are followed, but you first transfer the dream catcher, then the test as two separate transfers.

Using these basic instructions, you can also design whatever tumbler you like to make your own custom tumblers for you, your bride, or your wedding party (if you are the bride!).

DIY Mean Girls Bachelorette Tumblers

If you’ve ever been on Etsy, there are so many cute and creative tumblers you can get for your bridal party! These tumblers were by far the favorite and most useful item I made for our Mean Girls Bachelorette Party. Since we had it in Las Vegas, we could easily fill them with any drink we wanted from the rooms and take them around with us as we walked the Strip and through all the different hotels and casinos. After the party is long gone, I still use mine all the time for iced coffee for work, so they make an excellent take home favor!

Once again, with a craft cutter this project becomes incredibly simple and can be customized to anything your heart desires! In addition to that, making them yourself will cost you significantly less than ordering them premade. :)

Supplies:
Pink Tumblers
Silver Glitter Vinyl
White Vinyl
Grid lined Transfer Tape
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat

1.     Clean and dry the tumblers.

2.     Design your names: I used Pic Monkey to make both the names and titles for the Tumblers. The name is made with the Lavanderia font and the title was made with the Didact Gothic font. For the Bride I used the title “The Queen Bee” and the Bridesmaids were called “The Plastics” in true Mean Girls fashion. J You can use the design feature in PicMonkey to place text and save as a picture, which I find to be far easier than using the Cricut Design software to make the text as it tends to make the software run slowly.

Note: The Lavanderia Font is only part of PicMonkey Premium, which I use for some of my party designs and photo editing. You can do both monthly or yearly billing for it, and both are very inexpensive! :)

3.     When I made the names and titles, I made all the words the same size and part of the same picture (Names were one picture, titles were another picture). This will help with keeping them all the same size for the cutting phase. Once you have saved your text as pictures, upload them into the Cricut (or other cutter) design software. I made the longest name about 6 inches long. Cut the names out in Silver Glitter Vinyl.

4.     Next, import the titles into the design software. Using the names as they are sized, size the titles so that they fit nicely under the names (I did this by feel). Once you have your titles sized, delete the name picture and cut the titles out in white vinyl.

5.     After weeding the excess vinyl from the designs, cut the excess backing away from the text as much as possible. Using the sticky mat that goes with your cutter, arrange the white text under the name.

6.     Lay transfer tape over the text, aligning the gridlines under the name so that everything stays straight.

7.     Transfer the vinyl to the tumbler. Having gridline tape is very helpful here as you can use it to make sure that your text is perpendicular to the bottom of the tumbler. Press the vinyl onto the tumbler and remove the tape, and then you’re done!

Yes, that does feel like a lot of steps, but once you get the hang of it it takes no time at all! The big time crunch came in picking a font and designing the names, once I had the vinyl cut the transfer process took maybe 5-10 minutes a tumbler. Leave any questions you have in the comments!
