Bridal Party tumblers are always a great choice for Bridesmaid Proposals, Gifts, or as Bachelorette Party Favors, so we had to add to our collection of decals! Since we are starting the year with some fun projects to invite your bridal party to the wedding fun, our first tumbler project of the year are these Bridal Party Arrow Decal Tumblers.
The whimsical arrow decals are easy to weed and a great project for beginners. While the tumblers are a curved surface, the cylindrical shape makes the transfer far easier than wine glasses. The bride decal was cut is Silver Glitter Permanent Adhesive Vinyl, complemented by the maid of honor and bridesmaids tumblers in Lilac and Purple Permanent Adhesive Vinyl.
For those of you that may want to create more personalized designs, I used the font Bio Monster for the lettering in the arrow decals, which you can download for free at dafont.com.
Supplies:
Skinny Tumblers
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Paper
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
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 to the left of the end of the arrow, with the decal horizontally aligned along the bottom of the text. 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 to top edge of the lip of the tumbler, as shown. 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 all remaining tumblers.
