Instructions

Open the Cricut Design Space app and create your designs for the drink pouches. You can customize the labels with names, fun summer icons, or any design that your kids will love. Keep the designs simple and colorful.
Place the permanent vinyl on the Grip Mat and load it into the Cricut Joy. Select your designs and let the Cricut Joy work its magic, cutting out your custom labels.
Once your designs are cut, use the weeding tool to carefully remove the excess vinyl, leaving only your desired design on the backing.
Cut a piece of transfer tape slightly larger than your design. Peel the backing off the transfer tape and carefully place it over your vinyl design. Use the scraper tool to smooth out any bubbles and ensure the transfer tape adheres well to the vinyl.
Carefully peel the transfer tape with the vinyl design off its backing and place it onto the drink pouch. Use the scraper tool again to ensure the design sticks well to the pouch. Slowly peel off the transfer tape, leaving the vinyl design on the pouch.
Once all your pouches are decorated, fill them with your kids’ favorite drinks. Insert the fun pink or orange straws, and you’re ready to go!
