Bachelorette Party DIYs: Color Changing Party Cups

I am so excited to share this DIY with you! It is definitely one of my favorites so far. I have been wanting to use color changing cups for a party for so long, but I haven’t been able to host one due to Covid.

I’ll share the link to these cups below, but I found them on Amazon, they have a bunch of colors and are relatively affordable. I also got more for my husband’s 30th birthday (article on that coming tomorrow!)

What you’ll need:

–color changing party cups

-holographic adhesive vinyl (or any adhesive vinyl of your choosing)

-transfer tape

–“Bride or Die” SVG (optional)

Steps:

Starting again in Cricut Design space, I uploaded my predesigned SVG files:

The “Bride or Die” SVG is for sale on my Etsy shop, link below, and I find that text is easier to manipulate in Illustrator than in design space but you could do it in either location. I just typed out the text and placed it how I wanted in Illustrator, expanded the objects, then exported the text as SVGs.

Here’s a video explaining how to weld the svg text so it cuts out as one image

Then, resize the objects to fit the cups, set the number of projects you want to cut, and go:

Once the vinyl is cut, it time to weed. I use a lint roller to collect any small pieces of vinyl as I weed. #hack

Then use your transfer tape to place your vinyl on the color changing cup on the front and back. And boom! Color changing party cups!

If you want to add a layer of security to your vinyl, you can use dishwasher safe Mod Podge to keep the vinyl secured to the cup while washing (or just tell your girls that these are hand wash only).

Purchase the “Bride or Die” SVG on my Etsy shop by clicking the link below!

Bachelorette Party DIYs: Games!

It’s a new week and a new DIY for everyone. Now this one is a little different from the last few because it does not require you to have a Cricut. In fact, it only requires a good internet connection and a printer (with paper and ink, of course).

Bach party diys part 5Now what is a good bachelorette party with out a few games. I am going to show you the 2 games that I picked for my Bride, but there a ton more to choose from, so don’t feel stuck with these.

What you’ll need:

-cardstock (letter size)

-scissors/paper cutter

-color printer

Steps:

The game templates I got were from Stag & Hen. I’ve linked the files below:

They also have so many other options, so peruse as you please.

I had the ability to update the fonts to match my Bride’s bachelorette party theme because these PDFs are editable in Adobe Illustrator. You may also be able to edit if you have Adobe Reader for PDFs. (this is totally optional)

Then I printed cards on cardstock, 4 to a page.

I cut up the games using a paper cutter and then I placed them in the cutest bachelorette cups! Ready to drink, ready to party.

DIY for the cups coming tomorrow!!
