Bride and Squad DIY Toasting Flutes

See this content in the original post

To join our Bride and Tribe Flutes in the Bridesmaid Proposal Glassware Projects, their cousin the Bride and Squad Flutes! Champagne Flutes are a great choice for Bachelorette Parties, as well as for Bridesmaid Proposals or holding getting ready drinks the morning of your wedding!

I made my bride flute in Silver Glitter Permanent Adhesive Vinyl, and the squad flutes in Oracal 651 Purple Permanent Adhesive Vinyl, and the colors turned out perfect! But you could easily make dozens of different combinations to perfectly match your wedding or bachelorette colors. This is also a great project to start with if you haven’t done much vinyl transfer on curved surfaces before, the decal is easy to weed and the stemless flutes are much easier to align and transfer to than wine glasses.

For those of you that may want to create more personalized designs,  I used the font Passengers Script for the Bride and Squad Decals, which you can download for free at dafont.com.


Supplies:

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

Flute 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, then 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 to whatever you like. 

3. Once the designs are cut, weed away the extra vinyl and cut a piece of transfer tape to 2" x 5". Cut away any excess backing from the vinyl design and smooth transfer tape over the design. Align the “squad” decals with one of the 0.5” blocks of the transfer tape to the left of the decal and one block along the bottom of the letters “uad.” Align the “bride” decal with two blocks to the left of the decal,  and one block along the bottom of the “id.” This will make it easier to place 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.

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 the process for all the remaining flutes.
