We’re in the middle of #weddingszn, so I wanted to come up with a unique DIY wedding decor idea for my future newlyweds —  a DIY wedding license plate! It’s perfect for photo props (as you can see from mine!) or even table decor. Plus, applying adhesive vinyl is SO easy!! Here’s how:

This post is about the DIY Wedding License Plate Decal with Cricut.

THE DIY WEDDING LICENSE PLATE DECAL:

DIY Wedding License Plate Decal Materials:

1. Create Your Design

Open Cricut Design Space and make a template of the license plate. You can either Google “license plate” and save one of the photos to upload in Cricut Design Space OR you can select the “shapes” button on the left hand side, choose the rectangle, and enter the dimensions of the license plate which is 12”x6”.

I usually make a template with a shape, but for this project, the actual image of the license plate was better since you should consider space for the 4 holes (see below).

Here are some design options:

  • Your (Future) Last Name
  • “Just Married”
  • Your Initials (“A&A”) or (“A.M.”)
  • Your Names (“Alex & Amy”)
  • Date of Your Wedding
  • The Location (Where you met, the ceremony site, the state, etc.)

For the middle of the design:

  • Hearts
  • Engagement/Wedding Rings
  • Dots
  • Dots
  • Stars
  • Sparkles

The possibilities are endless! Once your design is complete, properly size it. This is why I created a template!

2. Gather Your Materials

The BEST thing about this project is that almost all of the materials are from Amazon! I added the material links in the beginning of this post, but also have them linked throughout the post.

I can’t believe how inexpensive the license plate was!

3. Cut The Design

I’m using black permanent vinyl for this project. Adjust the cut settings to “Vinyl”. Then, insert it into the Cricut and let it cut the design.

Once the Cricut is done cutting the vinyl, remove it from the StandardGrip Mat and weed your decal.

4. Apply The Vinyl To The License Plate

Now that your design is weeded, it’s ready to be transferred! Cut and apply transfer tape to the decal and use the scraper tool to firmly adhere the transfer tape to your decal. Give it a nice scrape, flip over the design, and remove the backing (so all that’s left is the decal on the transfer tape!)

Prepare your area by removing the clear sheet off of the license plate and measuring where the middle of the plate is with a ruler. Apply the design to the license plate.

Scrape the decal onto the license plate, then remove the transfer tape. Now, you’re left with a beautiful DIY wedding decor piece ready for use! 

Who knew wedding decorations can be THAT easy to DIY?
