What better way to invite your best girls to be your bridesmaids than with some super tasty macarons! I love the idea of having a brunch or cocktail party to invite them ,and to have these at their seats when they arrive!

Regardless, they are easy to make and great for filling with any treat, and perfect as a proposal on their own or as part of a bridesmaid box!

I chose Oracal 651 Gold and Silver Vinyl for my stickers and had my first successful macaron baking day to fill them! :) My personal favorite color combination was the pink strawberry macarons with the gold lettering!

Supplies:
Macaron Boxes
Transfer Tape
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Macaron Box Decal Design 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. 

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 in the Cricut Software.

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 1" x 4". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning along the bottom of the text, as shown below. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.

4. Remove the transfer tape from the backing, lifting the design from the backing to the transfer tape.

5. Aligning the transfer tape along the bottom edge of the clear window on the sleeve of the box, place the design in the middle of the window. With the tape aligning the bottom, I was able to center it in the window pretty easily and its also decently forgiving if its not exactly right, as long as the bottom is aligned.

6. Smooth the design on the window, using your fingers to smooth each letter onto the plastic.

7. Remove the transfer tape, leaving the design on the sleeve.

With the sleeves complete, next it is time to fold the boxes that will hold the macaroons! It took me a little trial and error to get it right so I will share it here as well, since my boxes didn’t come with instructions. I did my best on the description and took lots of pictures so hopefully it will help you as well if you are having trouble! :)

Box Assembly

Since these boxes are the same as my Love is Sweet Macaron Favor Boxes, I’m using those pictures! :)

1. Start by folding all of the lines on the box, as shown in the photo. This will make the box easier to bend later and help you see how it goes together.

2. Taking the long edge, tuck in the two short middle flaps on the side, then fold over the wall and tuck the edge flap under the wall, forming the lengthwise wall as shown. Repeat for both lengthwise walls.

3. Taking the end flaps on each of the lengthwise walls, hook them together to form the shorter wall of the box. once they are locked in, fold the last side flap over the wall, tucking the end flap under to complete the short wall of the box.

4. Once the boxes are made, fill them with macaroons, and then slide your sleeves over the cookies to finish the favors. I would recommend making all your sleeves and boxes beforehand, then filling them with their cookies the night before or morning of your event. :)

DIY "Does this Ring Make me Look Engaged?" Stemless Wine Glass Tumblers

In keeping with the just engaged swag we are crafting this week, next up is this adorable stemless wine tumbler! “Does this ring make me look Engaged?” is so cute and this decal could easily be put on all sorts of glassware!

For my tumblers, I used Champagne Glitter Vinyl for the decal. The thin lines on the small text makes this one a little tougher to weed so while I used a glitter vinyl I would recommend Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl.

Supplies:
Stemless Wine Tumbler
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Stemless Wine Tumbler 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. :)

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 3" x 3.5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the top of the text, leaving one set of 1/2” blocks above the top of the design. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.

4. Now, transfer the design to your tumbler. Remove the tape and lift the decal off the backing, making sure that the entire decal is transferred to the transfer tape.

5. Align the top of the transfer tape along the top lip of the tumbler and smooth down to the center of the design. Working from the center to the edge of the design, trace the letters to smooth them onto the tumbler. Because the surface is curved, focus on the vinyl smoothly transferring than your transfer tape looking nice and neat.

6. Once the design is set, remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the design on the tumbler. Use the smoother tool or your finger to resmooth the design and to remove the air bubbles.

I’m so excited that one of my best friend’s recently got engaged and it’s definitely inspired a good amount of “Just Engaged” swag. This pretty and punny “Totes Engaged” Tote Bag is the perfect gift for a newly engaged bride, or to make yourself to start your wedding DIY journey off right!

I used Silver Glitter HTV for this bag, but you could easily make them any color you like! :) This is a great project to begin with as it’s easy to weed and is almost square in shape, so it can easily be resized to fit pockets on other tote bags.

Supplies:
Blank Tote Bags

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 tote bag to remove any creases, then center the design in the middle of the tote. 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 tote bag. Repeat with all the remaining tote bags.

DIY Bride Tribe Wine Glasses

Every bridal party could use some fun wine glasses, and given how popular our Bridesmaid Wine Glasses have been, I wanted to add to the collection with a lovely “Bride Tribe” addition! I made these with two different options for the bride, either “Future Mrs.” or “The Bride” to go with your maids Bride Tribe Glasses.

I made these in Oracal 651 Gold Vinyl, which worked well and was easy to weed the small designs, but it never hurts to cut a couple extra decals if you are new to weeding vinyl or working with curved surfaces. In addition, its easiest to smooth the design from the middle to the top, then middle to the bottom to deal with the curvature of the glass.

Supplies:
Wine Glasses
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat

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 another sized glass than the ones we recommend. :)

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer taper to 3" x 3.5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the bottom of the arrow, as shown below. I also aligned mine so that four sets of the 1/2” blocks on the transfer tape were above the arrow so the it was easy to align on the glass.Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to 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. align the top of the transfer tape to the lip of the glass, as shown below. Smooth down the middle of the transfer tape to about the middle of the design, then smooth the design around the curve of the glass from the middle of the design to the edges. I started with the heart in the middle of the arrow and smoothed outward. 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.

And now you have the perfect wine glasses to celebrate with your maids or to use while you DIY or do other wedding planning activities! Looking for more wine glass fun, check out out other Wine Glass Projects here!

What better way to celebrate your new married status on your honeymoon than with some super cute Hubs and Wifey shirts! I made two different designs, Wifey and Wifey for Lifey, because I couldn’t decide which one I liked more. Plus it never hurts to have options so you can pick your favorite too!

I made them on both Tshirts and Tank tops, mainly because I like tank tops and the hubs like Tshirts, so when we wear them they will already be our favorite kind of top! :) It’s kinda hard to see in the pictures, but I made the Wifey and Wifey for lifey decals in Rainbow White Glitter HTV and it is just the right amount of sparkly! The Hubs is not so into glitter (fair) so he got Easyweed Black HTV. :) These are great projects for beginners, nice big decals that are easy to weed and can take some heat while you are figuring out all the fun of iron on decals! :)

Blank Tank Tops or TShirts (Womens or Mens)

DIY Welcome to Our Wedding HTV Iron on Tote Bags

When you have guests from out of town flying in for your wedding, it is always nice to give them a little wedding welcome bag with snacks, water, and an itinerary for the wedding festivities! If you are having a beachy destination wedding, tote bags are a great choice! Not only are they great for holding any goodies you want to give your guests, but they can be used throughout your guest’s vacation to hold towels, flip flops, and all their beach accessories.

For my first wedding welcome tote, I went with something cute, girly, and simple. After all, sometimes simple is best and this tote can be used for any out of town wedding guest bag, not just a beach. :) I used Easyweed Silver HTV for these bags, but you could easily make them any color you like to match your wedding’s theme! :)

DIY Princess Inspired Bachelorette Wine Tumblers

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 one of my best friends getting married and living in Florida, we are thinking about doing a bar crawl in the happiest place on earth, Disney World! Regardless of whether we do or not, it inspired me to design these adorable wine tumblers; all based on different fairy tale princesses!

I mixed and matched vinyl I already had, so a couple may not be perfect color complements or you may want to change it up to something different, but the combinations I used were:

Sipping Beauty - Oracal 651 Soft Pink Vinyl Dress with Gold Metallic Vinyl Lettering
A Whole New Buzz - Tiffany Blue Glitter Vinyl Dress with Gold Metallic Vinyl Lettering
Bibbity Bobbity Boozy - Tiffany Blue Glitter Vinyl Dress with Silver Glitter Vinyl Lettering
Drunkest of them All - Oracal 651 Gold Metallic Vinyl Dress with Amethyst Glitter Vinyl Lettering
Beauty and the Bottle - Oracal 651 Gold Metallic Vinyl Dress with Red Vinyl Lettering
Under the Influence - Oracal 651 Jade Vinyl Dress with Amethyst Glitter Vinyl Lettering

I tried transferring the designs in two ways, by transferring the dress first, then the lettering; and transferring the lettering to the dress before transferring it to the tumbler. It was far easier and cleaner to transfer the designs to the tumblers in layers as well as limiting the air bubbles from transferring and keeping the whole design smooth as its transferred to a curved surface.

Supplies:
Wine Tumblers
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Stemless Wine Tumbler 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. :)

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 3.5" x 5.5" for the dress decal and 3” x 3” for the lettering. Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the top of the dress, with one set of 1/2” blocks for ease with transferring later, as shown above. For the text, I didn’t align it to a specific piece, but rather centered the transfer tape over the design as best I could, since transferring it to the bottom of the dress isn’t a set position. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.

4. Now, transfer the dress design to your tumbler. Remove the tape from the backing and smooth the dress onto the tumbler, aligning it along the top lip of the tumbler as shown below. It is easiest to start at the top and smooth from top to bottom, center to outside edges.

5. Remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the dress decal on the tumbler. If there are air bubbles (mine had some), smooth out the ones you can with the smoother tool and for smaller or hard to smooth bubbles, prick them with a needle and smooth them to remove them. :)

6. Now, transfer the lettering to you tumbler. Center the lettering on the bottom of the skirt of the dress, I actually didn’t have any problems aligning them since the lettering itself is staggered and made to fit inside the dress. The easiest way is to use the bottom of the dress as your guide and arrange the decal just above the bottom edge where all the letters will adhere to the dress, not the tumbler.

7. Trace the letters to smooth them onto the bottom of the dress on the tumbler, as shown above. Because the surface is curved, focus on the vinyl smoothly transferring than your transfer tape looking nice and neat. Once the design is set, remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the design on the tumbler. Repeat with all remaining tumblers.

I absolutely adore how these turned out and they are suprisingly easy to make once you’ve done one of them, so don’t be afraid! :) Take a look at our other Tumbler Projects Here! :)

DIY "This is my Wedding Crafting Glass" Stemless Wine Glass Tumbler

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

If there’s one thing I love to do for weddings, it’s craft for them! (So surprising given all the projects on this blog ) There’s nothing like pouring yourself a glass of wine and getting down to DIY-ing all your special details, gifts and decorations for your big day! To start your DIY journey off on the right foot, I made this adorable stemless wine tumbler to be used during those fun, but sometimes stressful, wedding crafting nights!

For my tumbler, I used Oracal 651 Pink Vinyl for my decal and I love how it turned out! While I had to be careful with the scissors, the rest of the design was easy enough to weed. It’s also worth noting that, since you are transferring to a curved surface, this project is slightly more difficult on the transfer, as the glass curves the words and scissors will get a little closer together than the original weeded design. It did so with my transfer and it still turned out great, as you can see in the above photo.

Supplies:
Stemless Wine Tumblers
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Stemless Wine Tumbler 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 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 3.5" x 4". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the bottom of the text. 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. I aligned the transfer tape along the top of the “this is my” text, with one set of 1/2” blocks above to use in aligning it to your stemless tumbler later.

4. Now, transfer the design to your tumbler. Remove the tape from the backing and directly place the design on the tumbler. Arrange the design in the middle of the tumbler about an inch from the top of the lip of the tumbler.

5. Working from the middle to the edges, top to bottom, trace the letters with your fingers to smooth the design onto the tumbler. Because the surface is curved, focus on the vinyl smoothly transferring than your transfer tape looking nice and neat. I started in the top middle of the design, then would smooth the text, lifting the transfer tape from the tumbler and design as needed but never completely removing the transfer tape so that the alignment stayed consistent. Once the design is set, remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the design on the tumbler.

6. Finally, use the smoother tool or your finger to resmooth the design id needed and to remove the air bubbles, completing your new tumbler! :)

Happy Post Valentine’s day everyone! Hopefully it was magical, romantic, and maybe even included a ring in the mix! To toast the celebration, well really to toast at your wedding, I designed these cute and simple wedding flutes.

I made my flutes in two colors, Silver Glitter Permanent Adhesive Vinyl and Gold Permanent Adhesive Vinyl and I loved how both turned out! By aligning the transfer tape well in the beginning, it makes the alignment on the glasses nice and easy. :) I would recommend this as a great first project for working with glassware in general, it is not a hard curve to follow as far as transferring goes and the designs themselves are simple and easy to weed. :)

Supplies:
Stemless Champagne Flutes
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set

Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it to along the first letter of the designs with the bottom lines of the tape aligning to the text as shown below. Make sure to align it such that 1” of the transfer tape is to the left of the first letter to use in placing it properly on the glasses later.

4. After smoothing the transfer tape of the designs with the smoother tool, remove the transfer tape from the backing, lifting the design with the transfer tape.

5. Using the transfer tape as a spacer, smooth the design onto the flutes, aligning the short side of the transfer tape along the top edge of the glasses. I adhered mine as shown below. with the tape parallel to the top of the glass just under the rim.

6. Once the transfer tape is aligned along the top, smooth it onto the glass from top to bottom. I smoothed mine by tracing the letters from top to bottom until the entire design was smoothed onto the flute,as shown below.

7. Once the design has been smoothed and all air bubbles are removed, remove the transfer tape to leave the design on the flute. Repeat with the groom flute in the same manner. Using the transfer tape similarly to above you can make the groom flute lettering the same height so your flutes will be a beautiful and matching set! :)

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 Tote Bags 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 Gold Confetti 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. Iron your Tote Bag to remove any creases, then arrange the design in the center of the tote bag, using the handles as a guide . 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 Tote Bag. Repeat with all the remaining Tote Bags.

It’s the season of love everyone and nothing says love to me like macaroons! These pretty french cookies are light, sweet, and a perfect classy edible favor!

I ended up finding these adorable Macaroon Favor Boxes on Amazon, then is was super easy to measure the window, design a simple sticker, then cut and stick! I chose Oracal 651 Gold Vinyl and Silver Glitter Vinyl for my stickers and ended up picking up some macaroons for the boxes at the local super market. That being said, if you learn to make your own macaroons not only will you be able to customize the flavors and colors, but also will make them far far cheaper to make! :)

Supplies:
White Macaroon Boxes
Transfer Tape
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Love is Sweet Design 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 tape to 1" x 4". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning along the bottom of the text, as shown below. Using the smoother tool, smooth the tape to the vinyl, removing any air bubbles.

4. Remove the transfer tape from the backing, lifting the design from the backing to the transfer tape.

5. Aligning the transfer tape along the top edge of the clear window on the sleeve of the box, place the design in the middle of the window. With the tape aligning the top, I was able to center it in the window pretty easily and its also decently forgiving if its not exactly right, as long as the top is aligned.

6. Smooth the design on the window, using your fingers to smooth each letter onto the plastic.

7. Remove the transfer tape, leaving the design on the sleeve.

With the sleeves complete, next it is time to fold the boxes that will hold the macaroons! It took me a little trial and error to get it right so I will share it here as well, since my boxes didn’t come with instructions. I did my best on the description and took lots of pictures so hopefully it will help you as well if you are having trouble! :)

Box Assembly

1. Start by folding all of the lines on the box, as shown below. This will make the box easier to bend later and help you see how it goes together.

2. Taking the long edge, tuck in the two short middle flaps on the side, then fold over the wall and tuck the edge flap under the wall, forming the lengthwise wall as shown below. Repeat for both lengthwise walls.

3. Taking the end flaps on each of the lengthwise walls, hook them together to form the shorter wall of the box. once they are locked in, fold the last side flap over the wall, tucking the end flap under to complete the short wall of the box.

4. Once the boxes are made, fill them with macaroons, and then slide your sleeves over the cookies to finish the favors. I would recommend making all your sleeves and boxes beforehand, then filling them with their cookies the night before or morning of your event. :)

While these boxes are intended for macaroons, they can be filled with any sweets that you like and still work wonderfully for your event, whether its a wedding, bridal shower, or even a Galentines Day Party!

DIY Heart Wine Glass Place Cards

What better way to adorn your wine glasses in this lovely Valentine’s Season! I’m on a heart kick right now, probably due to really wanting to have a Galentine’s Brunch. :) For Galentine’s Day, Valentines Day, or any Wedding Celebration; these place cards are a cute and fun way to give your guests a glass and their table information.

I’ve made a couple place cards before but I want to try some Wine Glass Place cards again, but this time cutting them so they could sit on the edge of the glass. I started with a simple heart place cards that can easily be handwritten with your guest information. These ones are super simple, literally cut out, slight fold, and ready to go! :)

Supplies:
White Cardstock
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Heart Place Card Design 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.  Copy and Paste the design for as many placecards as you want (1 standard sheet of paper will fit 6 hearts).

2. Cut the design(s) in your choice of card stock with the Light Card stock 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. :) Load the Cricut with card stock (portrait orientation) and cut the designs.

Note: You’ll notice that I used a standard mat for this project, but I would recommend the Light Grip Mats for Paper Products. This just happens to be one of my older mats that’s not quite so sticky anymore :)

3. Remove the card stock from the outer edge, leaving the hearts on the cutting mat.

4. Peel off each place card from the edge of the design, leaving the extra paper on the cutting mat. Repeat with all hearts, then remove and discard all the card stock left on the cutting mat.

5. Using your finger, create a bend horizontally on the card, not folding the card but pressing it with your fingers into a curved shape. This will make it easier to sit nicely on the glass.

6. Place on the glass with the cut out “tab” side of the heart on the inside of the glass. Once your guest information has been written, they can be stored until you are ready to place them on the glasses of your event! :)

DIY Mr. and Mrs. Stemless Wine Glass Tumblers

I love getting just married swag for the honeymoon and then thought of these simple Mr. and Mrs. Stemless Wine Tumblers! They are just perfect for going to the beach and can easily be made for yourself or your friends who are getting married soon!

For my tumblers, I used Champagne Glitter Vinyl for the Mrs. and Oracal 651 Black Vinyl for the Mr. and I love how they turned out! This is a great beginner project if you aren’t used to transferring to curved surfaces, these tumblers are very easy to transfer to for this simple, bold design. And its super easy to weed! :)

Supplies:
Stemless Wine Tumblers
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Stemless Wine Tumbler 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. :)

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 2.5" x 3". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design, aligning it along the bottom of the text. 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 tumbler. Remove the tape from the backing and directly place the design on the tumbler. Arrange the design in the middle of the tumbler about an inch from the top of the lip of the tumbler.

5. Working from the center to the edge of the design, trace the letters to smooth them onto the tumbler. Because the surface is curved, focus on the vinyl smoothly transferring than your transfer tape looking nice and neat. Once the design is set, remove the transfer tape from the tumbler, leaving the design on the tumbler.

6. Use the smoother tool or your finger to resmooth the design and to remove the air bubbles. Repeat with the Mr. Tumbler. :)
