Thanksgiving is upon us and soon it will be Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, and New Years! ‘Tis the season to give thanks and cheers! And why not give those thanks and cheers is chic, gold confetti champagne flutes that you’ve made yourself? Today I am going to show you how to DIY your own Gold Confetti Champagne Flutes using a Silhouette CAMEO

Supplies:

Champagne flutes (4 pack at Target for $9.99)
Gold Vinyl
Silhouette CAMEO or Portrait
Circle Confetti (Design ID #45405)
Cheers (Design ID #24001)
Weeding hook
Transfer paper or contact paper
Scissors

Directions:

– Measure the base of your champagne flute, I found it was easiest to just place it on my cutting mat
– In Silhouette Studio open a new file and bring in Circle Confetti design and Cheers design
– Draw a circle a tad bit bigger than your champagne flute base, duplicate for each glass you want to make
– Place your circle on top of your confetti design
– Select your circles and while holding SHIFT select your Circle Confetti design then in the modify window click CROP (see screenshot below). Before pressing anything else click on GROUP in the bottom left corner.
– Arrange the confetti base circles along with “Cheers” onto your drawing area. I like to maximize my vinyl usage as you can see below in how I cut mine all close together.
– Place your vinyl in your machine with the blade set to a depth of 2 (I always use my mat when cutting vinyl, it’s a personal preference)
– Select Vinyl as your material in the Cut window and let it fly!
– Weed the excess vinyl from your design. You will need a hook (or something sharp) to get the little pieces out of the lettering. Cut each design apart from one another (see below).
– Using transfer tape or contact paper (see my tutorial on Vinyl 101) pick up your vinyl, pick a starting spot on your glass base and in a circle start pressing your “confetti” down. Because this is a curved surface you will have to pick up the transfer tape as soon as you’ve pressed down the vinyl and work your way around the base.
– Repeat this process with “cheers”
– Clink
– Drink

I am so in love with these glasses that I believe I will be keeping them for myself! They will make the perfect way to toast in the New Year with my husband!
