DIY Vinyl Letter Decals: Celebrate with Temporary Decals

Learn how to make temporary customized decals for weddings, dinner parties, BBQs or other events with these vinyl letter decals

Making removable customized decals for weddings, dinner parties, BBQs or other events is easy! By using removable vinyl, we can personalize just about anything. Like our grandmother’s antique cut crystal champagne flutes just for one special night. Or, how about some personalized beer pints for game night. There are lots of options for these vinyl letter decals.

Watch the full step-by-step video showing you exactly how to make your vinyl letter decals premiering during Maker Academy Weekend, November 4-7, 2021. Get your FREE ticket to this event by clicking below:

Add a special touch to any event with the help of personalized vinyl letters. I will be showing you how to make your very own vinyl decals personalized to any event you may be hosting, or attending. Just place them on a smooth surface and they’re good to go!

To start off, we will need a few different types of vinyl material: Cricut Premium Removable Vinyl, this bundle includes black, white, gold and silver. We will also use Cricut Smart Removable Vinyl in white and Chalkboard Vinyl.

Other materials we will use include: black Kraft board, transfer tape, chalk and chalk markers and of course we’ll need something to put our vinyl on. I’m using champagne flutes, wine glasses, beer pints and my car! Well actually my car window! 

And finally, we will use our Cricut Machine. I’m going to use the Maker 3, but you can also make most of these designs with an Explore 3 or an original Maker or Explore cutting machine. I’ll even show you one you can make with the Cricut Joy.

And we will use our Cricut StandardGrip cutting mat, weeding tool, scraper (or credit card to get any air bubbles out), hot glue gun and sticks, some clothespins and for the larger decal it helps to have a 12 inch by 24 inch StandardGrip mat, but that’s optional.

For weddings, I’ve included designs for adding a temporary Just Married decal to the back window of a vehicle. I also included Mr. & Mrs. decals for personalizing champagne flutes or other wedding reception items. I suggest adding a last name and wedding date to either decal for a personal touch.

For dinner parties or gatherings, I included labels for beer pints and wine glasses. Add your guests’ names and they have a personal glass to use all evening. The removable vinyl comes off easily at the end of the night! These personalized glasses will be a great touch to add to any event!

Here’s a fun way to make a big splash at a wedding! Just Married car window decals! One of the great things about using removable vinyl is that it’s so easy to remove after the honeymoon, but it holds up nicely for several days in rain, snow or sunshine! This is what my Just Married decals look like when they are customized and applied to a car window.

Q: Will these really come off glass easily?
Yes! We put the “Just Married” vinyl on Greg’s back window to test it out, but since we’re NOT married yet (just engaged), we removed it so as not to confuse anyone and it came off easily!
