DIY Party Beverage Tub with Cricut SVG Files

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 8, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Summer

Make your own party beverage tub with these free SVG files for Cricut Design Space. This outdoor galvanized ice bucket has two optional messages “Chillin” or “Enjoy.” Also create your own vinyl personalized beverage tub and ice bucket with this step-by-step Cricut tutorial.

DIY Party Beverage Tub

In no time you can have a perfect Outdoor Beverage Tub. Using our free SVG files, add the summertime phrase “chillin” or “enjoy” to create a summertime drink bucket to keep your beverages cool.

Fill your DIY beverage tub with your favorite ice cold drinks, chill and enjoy (all the pun!)

Galvanized Beverage Tub

For this DIY Cricut Project, we used a Galvanized Beverage Tub similar to this one at Michaels or this one on Amazon. The reason we chose galvanized for our backyard beverage tub, was because it is known to have a protective zinc coating to prevent rusting, so they’re suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as well as, water exposure.

Another popular backyard beverage cooler is the Igloo Party Bucket Cooler. This double walled cooler has a foam insulated body to keep drinks cold but it will prevent condensation or “sweat” like unlined tubs. Whichever cooler you choose for your personalized beverage holder (ice bucket), make sure it has an area with a smooth surface to apply your Cricut vinyl summertime phrases – chillin or enjoy.

DIY Beverage Bucket

Materials

Enjoy and Chillin SVG File (see below or get it here)
Cricut Maker cutting machine with Fine Point Blade
Cricut Outdoor Permanent Glossy Vinyl in white
Standard grip mat
Cricut Transfer Tape*
Galvanized Beverage Bucket
Scissors
Cricut Weeder Tool

*If you do want to use transfer tape for this project, consider using Duck Brand Peel Clear Laminate as an alternative to Cricut transfer tape. Some people prefer this brand more.

Directions

Gather your supplies and in a few simple minutes, you will have your personalized beverage tub. This outdoor drink tub is perfect for a gathering or just for storing on your patio or deck for quick family get togethers.

Cricut Design Space

Open Cricut Design Space.

Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.

Click on the “Upload” button from the toolbar and browse your downloaded files to insert the summertime SVG files – chillin or enjoy.

The cut image will appear on the canvas.

With the image selected, click on the “Attach” button to secure all parts of the image together for cutting.

Maintain the size or adjust to fit your ice bucket. To adjust the size, highlight the image and click on the size box in the top toolbar.

Change the measurement to suit your galvanized beverage tub size accordingly.

How to Print SVG Files

Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.

Choose the Outdoor Vinyl, Permanent from the list of options in the drop down menu.

Place the Permanent Vinyl on the standard grip mat.

Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the vinyl.

Making the Beverage Bucket

Cut around the image(s) with a pair of scissors.

Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.

Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the image.

Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape on top of the cut image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.

Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the image adhered to the transfer tape. Trim transfer tape if needed.

Carefully consider the placement before applying as the permanent vinyl can’t be removed if placed incorrectly. Position the image with the transfer tape on to the beverage tub and press in place.

Press the image down with your fingers or with the Cricut scraping tool to help it to stick to the tub.

Slowly remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl image on the tub. Repeat with the other image on the opposite side of the tub if desired.

Fill the galvanized beverage bucket with your favorite drinks, chill and enjoy (all the pun!)

Running out of dinner ideas? Take a look at these Meal Planning Ideas for Families. Over sixty dinner ideas so you can easily go two months (or longer) never repeating the same entree. Personalize and add your own family recipes to the Meal Planning Template for a quick and easy reference.

Meal Planning Ideas

For busy moms, meal planning is a challenge. For me, I lack ideas. We tend to repeat the same dinner ideas over and over creating a boring rut.

This Meal Planning printable provides some unique recipe ideas. For example, when was the last time you made an Italian Calzone? We have an easy recipe from Pillsbury. Or what exactly is chicken biryani? We have another easy Indian recipe to add to your dinner rotation.

By following these meal planning ideas, you hold the ability to have a different dinner recipe, every night, for over two months. Add your own ideas to the list and never repeat a recipe for up to three months!

Meal Planning Ideas for Families

Our meal planning ideas are categorized by Meatless, Chicken, Pasta, Mexican, Italian and Salads. Take a look below at some examples and ideas.

Meatless Meal Ideas

Meal Planning Tips

Menu planning tips for Families:

Print. Download and print Frugal Coupon Living’s menu planning template PDF.
Sales. Plan your meals around grocery items that are on sale. If beans are at a low price this week, stock up on cans and make a taco soup.
Save. Save money by eating one Meatless meal a week. We enjoy these Meatless Monday Dinners.
Stockpile. Plan dinner based on the stockpile in your pantry, fridge or freezer.
Leftovers. Save leftovers and declare one night a week a leftover night to empty the fridge.

Freeze. Our favorite meal prep idea and tip comes from our Busy Mom Hacks. Chances are if you are here Family Menu Planning, you consider yourself a busy mom.

This Busy Mom Life Hack came to me from a friend and it is great for creating a quick and easy stockpile of freezer meals. I personally have used it and have found it very helpful. One night a week, double or triple a recipe. Take that extra recipe and freeze it. On an incredibly busy night, pull that frozen meal out of the freezer. Bake it as a quick and easy family dinner recipe. If you do this each week, your freezer meals will grow!

Easy Healthy Crockpot Freezer Meals

June 7, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media

Rushed nights don’t have to be full of calories. These Healthy Crockpot Freezer Meals are freezer friendly dump dinners that are impossible to mess up. Prep ahead, freeze, and cook.

Healthy Crockpot Freezer Meals

Have a short window of time on the weekend? Take a look at these make-ahead meals to make the most of your week nights. These Easy Healthy Crockpot Freezer Meals can be prepped in a short period of time and saved for busier night. In order to get the most out of your make ahead, freeze and cook later recipes, it’s important to cook in bulk. You can prep many of these recipes at once (in fact, some of these recipes go to landing pages of many recipes) or you can quadruple any of the recipes and split them up in the the freezer so you have four freezer bags of the same recipe.

The most important thing you can do with your freezer bags is, first, use freezer bags. Don’t think I am joking. More often than not I have picked up a regular Ziploc and ruined the prep. Also, label your meal. (These deep freezer labels are great!) What is it? How much does it serve and the date of when you prepped it – so very important. Organize your deep freezer so you can keep track of newest to the oldest.

Kitchen Hack: When preparing freezer meals, I highly recommend a freezer bag holder stand. This cooking gadget is an extra set of hands allowing you to clip the top of your freezer bags into a standing, upright position while you fill them.

Before you begin, don’t forget our Easy Bake and Take Recipes. These recipes and be used for a Girls Night In, or Neighbor Meal Exchange or even a New Baby Recipe idea. Pin to Pinterest.

Common Sense Media Books & Movies for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 6, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Parenting, Pinterest, Social Media

Common Sense Media Books & Movies for Kids. Have you wanted to review a book or movie before your child has the opportunity to read/watch it? The best parental resource for movies, games, apps, and TV shows is Common Sense Media. See ratings from other parents, reviews from experts, as well key topics for discussions with your child.

Common Sense Media Books & Movies

As a former fifth grade teacher, I did not need much help when it came to book recommendations. Ten years ago, I was on my game and knew various chapter books, what appropriate/in-appropriate language mgiht be inside, and topic areas the book addressed. That was ten years ago.

My child is officially reading above a fifth grade level. In fact, since fourth grade, she has easily been reading middle and high school level books. For a child who is advanced in reading and a mother who didn’t study books beyond fifth grade, we hit a bend in the road – the road the library shelves.

What is Common Sense Media?

I was introduced to Common Sense Media via Google search. Thanks, Google! I needed to review a book my daughter picked up and see if her above grade level book didn’t have inappropriate content for a ten year old. Common Sense Media provides reviews of children’s media to families promote safe technology and resources for children. It is a great resource to offer aged-based media reviews for families on both books, movies, TV shows and games.

On Common Sense Media, the book had two age levels. One age voted on by parents, one age voted on by kids. They never match up but give you a clear level of the appropriate age range. Each book (movie, game, show) has a 1 to 5 stars for likes so you can see if others liked the novel. There also is a list of need-to-know topics inside the books including messages of violence, romance, language, etc.

How to Review Books with Common Sense Media

Want to review a book before your child? Following these steps, read age-appropriate book reviews for kids written by experts and fellow parents.

Visit CommonSenseMedia.org/
Type in your book name and/or author (for books that have been adapted to TV or film, I recommend you type in the author’s name too to appropriately narrow down your search.)
Find your book in the search (search returns are listed by media – DVD, novel, etc.)
Select your book by clicking on the book image.
See details about the age recommendation and novel description.

Book Recommendations for Kids

Visit CommonSenseMedia.org/Book-Reviews
Use the left column to narrow your search results by age, type, genre, etc.

It is easy to review kids movies and read details about the movie parental rating guide without having to watch them before your child. To review kids movies on Common Sense Media, follow these steps.

Visit CommonSenseMedia.org/
Type in your movie name

Adjust image sizes to fit your mason jars accordingly. Measure the height and wide of your jar. For example, the largest “Grill Master” design image was sized to 3.5” high on the Design Space canvas to fit an 8 oz mason jar.

Color sync the images if needed to match the vinyl color. We used Light Gray from Vibrant Value Pack.

You can pre-wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using. Do not begin the next step until your jars are completely dry.

Michael’s has 8 oz Mason Jars for $1 each. Free shipping when you spend $50.

First, cut around each image with a pair of scissors.

Using the weeding tool, peel away your excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.

Next, peel away the vinyl backing. Leave just the image adhered to the transfer tape.

In a straight position, place the phrase and clip art with the transfer tape on to a smooth area of the mason jar and press into place.

Press your vinyl image down with your fingers or with the Cricut scraping tool to help it to stick to the mason jar.

Finally, carefully remove the transfer tape leaving only the vinyl image and phrases on the glass mason jar.

Repeat this process for the the rest of your mason jars and free cut files.

To finish, fill the mason jars with your favorite BBQ seasoning mixes and tie a piece of ribbon or twine around the jar lid.

Don’t forget our many low-cost DIY Father’s Day Gift ideas using supplies from home. Pin to Pinterest.

Also save these free Cricut Tutorials throughout the entire year. Pin to Pinterest.
