Positivity Water Bottle And Bento Box

Author: Crystal

Equipment

  • Water Bottle and/or Hard Sided Bento Box or Lunch Box
  • Measuring tape
  • Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore or Cricut Joy
  • StandardGrip Cutting Mat
  • Permanent Vinyl
  • Weeding Tools
  • Isopropyl Alcohol
  • Scraper tool
  • Transfer Tape

Instructions

  • Open Cricut Design Space. You can access my Affirmations Water Bottle And Bento Box cut canvas here.
  • Measure your water bottle and bento box to determine the size you want to cut each of your designs. Size them by clicking on each design and using either the arrow that appears in the corner or the sizing tool in the toolbar.
  • Click Make It. Follow the instructions on the screen to connect your machine and select your cutting material. Lay your vinyl on your cutting mat with the color side facing up, load it in the machine using the arrow button on your Cricut and press the flashing C/play button.
  • Weed your vinyl, removing the excess vinyl from around your design leaving just the design behind on the paper backing. Don't forget about the middles of all of your letters!
  • Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface of your water bottle and bento box to get rid of any fingerprints and oil.
  • Use transfer tape to transfer your designs to your water bottle and bento box. Repeat for each of your designs. I put vinyl inside the bento box too that say main, snack, treat and dip.

Notes

For longevity of your water bottle and bento box designs let the vinyl cure for 48 hours before using. When cleaning don't soak bento box or water bottle in water or put in the dishwasher. Hand washing is fine.
