Mini Congrats

There will be plenty of time for giving larger gifts like at the shower and the wedding… so this “mini champagne bucket” is the perfect small gift to say happy engagement. Use clear glass chunk vase filler to look like ice and your friends favorite beverage, be it champagne or wine!

SUPPLIES:

Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your buckets! I used Mensch, Watermelon Script and Soiree Lettering for the fonts. Each bucket got a “congrats” along with a diamond ring shape for the tag. 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.

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.

Apply To The Buckets

Now carefully peel the transfer tape and your new sticker from the vinyl backing and then place them onto the bucket. Burnish a little and carefully peel the transfer tape off, leaving a perfectly personalized mini-champagne bucket!

Apply To The Tags

Then do the same thing with the diamond ring shapes and the gift tags…

Assemble

Pour a few clear glass chunks into the bottom of the bucket, add the mini-wine bottle and then fill the rest of the bucket with the glass chunks. Tie the tag onto the bottle with some ribbon and you’re all set!

The Perfect Way To Say Congrats

For under $10 you can easily create what I think will be the most darling engagement gift that your friends will receive… obviously I’m biased, but these are super freaking cute.

…and if you have something other than an engagement to celebrate – these buckets will work for that too!
