Beverage Recipe Vinyl Decal

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

DIY lemonade recipe vinyl decal on beverage glass

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.

What I did:

1. I sanded and cleaned up the wood scraps.

2. Next, I gave each 2 coats of white paint and let dry.

3. Once the white paint was dry, I applied FrogTape® Shape Tape™ (I used the chevron pattern) in three strips, starting with the top, then the bottom, then centering the third between the top and bottom.

4. Using my thumbnail, I burnished the edges of the tape to activate the PaintBlock® Technology.

5. Then just paint the area not covered by tape. I used a combination of red and blue. I did two coats.
