How to Make Fun Slap Bracelets for a Bachelorette Party or Wedding Shower
Difficulty Level: Easy
PROJECT MATERIALS
• White DIY blank slap bracelets
• Electronic cutting machine (e.g., Cricut)
• Ruler
• Permanent vinyl in your preferred color (we used silver and gold shimmer vinyl)
• Transfer tape (if using glittery or shimmer vinyl, you will need StrongGrip transfer tape)
• Burnishing or scraper tool
• StandardGrip cutting mat
• Our Cricut Design Space project that you can click and make without any changes!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a ruler, measure how long and how wide your slap bracelets are. The ones we used are 8.7 inches in length and 1.2 inches in height/width, so we made a note to make any words no taller than 1 inch.
2. No matter which words you use, keep your words short if you want the entire text to show on the tops of everyone's wrists. Choose your favorite font in Design Space (or head directly to our Design Space profile to make immediately). To help you decide what size is best, add a rectangle shape with the measurements of your slap bracelet to your Canvas and then fit your words inside of it. Leave a tiny bit of top and bottom space for the textured edge of the bracelet. After you’re happy with your design, cut according to your machine’s specs.
3. Once your words are cut, weed your vinyl, leaving only the bits you want to keep for your bracelet. Cut the amount of transfer tape you need to cover your design and place on top of your vinyl words. Use your burnishing tool and scrape across the transfer tape to give a good connection to the vinyl underneath. This will help you move your design over to your bracelets!
4. Before application, slap your bracelet on your wrist to decide where you want your words. Carefully rub your vinyl stickers on top and remove the transfer tape. The bracelets are ready for their brides and her babes now!
