To go with our adorable I Do Crew Tumblers, I made some corresponding decals to use on shirts and other wearables! The shirts are great not only as Bridesmaid Proposals, but also for any pre-wedding events especially ones where you may have a large support group but not necessarily everyone is in the bridal party. These would be perfect to make, for example, to give to people going wedding dress shopping with you!
I made the “I Do Crew” decals on Mermaid Blue Glitter HTV and I made the Bride decal out of Gold Foil HTV and I love the color combination!

Supplies:
Blank TShirts
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool set
Adhesive Mat
TShirt Design 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 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.
After selecting “Make It” Make sure to select the Mirror Mode on the cutting screen. Cut the design 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.
4. Iron your tshirt or 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 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 20-30 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 fabric. Repeat with all remaining tshirts.

If you are your girls are ready to celebrate your engagement, champagne style, these Poppin’ Bottles Bachelorette Tank Tops are the perfect accessory for your crew! I’m always a fan of bachelorette parties matching, and these black and gold sparkly tank tops are a great choice for a bar crawl or any party hard bachelorette party. I also love the idea of having a New Years Eve Bachelorette, which would go amazingly with these tops as well!
For these designs, I used two different fonts, Philosophy and Generica, which are both available for free for both personal and professional use from DaFont.com! I did have to do some stretching on the Generica Font to give it some height for the decal design though, so keep that in mind if you are designing for other projects.
For the Tank Tops, I used a Black Tank top with Old Gold Glitter HTV and I love how they turned out! I was a little worried on how such a thin font would do with weeding and cutting, but I had no problems at all. In fact, it turned out that the entire design was very easy to weed and transfer in general, so its a great project for beginners or masters alike! also easy designs for those who are still beginners to the HTV world.

It's the first day of December, so it's time to pop some bottles in honor of the holidays or maybe this crazy year being almost over! In that spirit, there’s no better way to end 2020 than with a fun champagne inspired DIY Tote Bag Project. Group Tote Bags for all your ladies to keep their belongings in are a great addition to any Bachelorette Party. I love these Tote Bags not only for Bachelorette Parties, but also for any New Years bar crawl or casual party!
For my totes, I used Old Gold Glitter HTV for the decal on a plain black tote bag and I absolutely love how it turned out! The only parts of the design that had any trouble weeding were some of the smaller bits of the bubble outlines, but mainly just me remembering they were there and to remove them rather than it being hard to weed. This super fun design goes with any bachelorette or champagne poppin celebration and is an easy project for people who are new to Iron on Transfer Projects. :)
