Summer time in our home = lots of entertaining and hauling out the fancy glass beverage server for homemade lemonade is a must. Labeling glass containers lets guests know exactly what they’re consuming.
Beverage Recipe Vinyl Decal Label Tutorial
Materials:
- Glass beverage server
- Happy Crafters Glossy Adhesive Vinyl (mint)
- Transfer paper
Tools Needed:
- Vinyl cutter (I use a Silhouette Cameo)
- Scissors
What I did:
Open up Silhouette Studio Designer software. Choosing the font tool, write up a label. Simply the name of the beverage or ice. I included my lemonade recipe too.
Load the vinyl, color side up into the machine. Adjust blade settings for adhesive vinyl and “send to cut”.
Unload vinyl, trim design if needed and weed away vinyl that isn’t a part of the design.
Apply transfer paper to the vinyl. Rub with a credit card.
Peel away backing (vinyl will transfer, showing reverse on the transfer paper).
Place sticky side of the vinyl/transfer paper design to the glass.
Rub with a credit card then peel away transfer paper.
Tip for curved surfaces: Stick the center of the decal first. Apply by working from the center point out. I found it easier to carefully tear the transfer paper on each end between text to avoid wrinkles.
Mix up your beverage recipe and serve!
Party time!
These glass containers are washed by hand. And I’ll simply peel off the vinyl lettering when if I want but I think it’s going to stay throughout the season.

How fun is that! I love this idea, and now you’ve got my head to spinning with a million ways to use it! Beautiful job 🙂
Love your lemonade station and your server is stunning. I need to spruce mine up a little
What a great craft project!! Also, love the Bicycle Card in the fore ground. Did you make the card as well? If not, can you tell me the maker? Thank you, Kindly.
RJ, I didn’t make it. They’re in the dollar section at Michael’s Craft Store…so many packs of the cutest blank note cards. I also got ones with hot air balloons and the cutest row houses.
Thank you for the info!! Very nice of you.
Oh and with matching cupcake liners (notebooks and pens too).
I love your drink dispenser and the vinyl decal is the perfect summery touch.
I’m so happy to see more and more bloggers out there using Essential Oils and I’m especially happy to see them using Therapeutic Grade from Young Living! The purest, best essential oils out there! Great idea and love the look of it. Now I just need to find a way to get a silhouette machine!!
