Make Them Feel Welcome

These inexpensive cups with personalized detailing will make any guests of any event feel welcome. Anytime I arrive to a party and my name is on something, it gives me the warm and fuzzies… so this project can do that for your guests too!

SUPPLIES:

• Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 Special Edition, Martha Stewart Machine Bundle
• New Cricut Premium Vinyl – Permanent, I used white and black
• Martha Stewart Celebrations Gold Cups
• Transfer Tape

Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your cups! Either by the bridal party roles, names, nicknames, etc. I used Cricut Sans and Watermelon Script fonts. I kept the names under 3″ so they wouldn’t wrap too far around the cups, but that’s your call. Prepare your mat and get ready to cut!

Let Your Martha Cricut Work It’s Magic

Weed

Weed, aka. remove, all the non-design areas of the vinyl sticker using your gold Martha Cricut tools. I know the white on white is kinda hard to see here but I hope you get the gist.

Transfer Tape

Transfer tape is the BEST and if you’ve never used it, you must try it. Basically you transfer your new vinyl stickers from their base to a clear film so you can properly position them on their final resting place. Cut a piece of transfer tape just larger than your designs, peel and evenly smooth on top of the vinyl. Burnish with the scraping tool for adhesion, peel the vinyl off your cutting mat and cut the stickers into smaller pieces, in this case cut out each name.

Apply To Cups

Now carefully peel the transfer tape and your new sticker from the vinyl backing and then place them onto each cup. Burnish a little and carefully peel the transfer tape off, leaving a perfectly personalized cocktail cup!

Premium Permanent Vinyl

Condensation? Water? Cocktail? Washing? None are a problem for Cricut’s new Premium, Permanent Vinyl. If you use the regular vinyl for this project, it’s ok but once the cup gets condensation on it, the sticker could peel off… not with the new premium permanent line! YAYA! Better supplies = higher quality crafts!

Personalize To Your Hearts Content

From your engagement party to your bridal shower, and from your bachelorette party to your wedding – make it personal! If making cups for the entire guest list of your wedding is too daunting, do just the head table. This quick project is sure to put a smile on the faces of the special people named, who get to drink from their own cups!
