Make Your Own Personalised Travel Snack Tray

Snacks are great for days out or long car journeys. But one thing I don't like is all the packets left everywhere or the dropped snacks on the floor. It can soon get really messy and thats after you have had to hunt for where the snacks are in the car. So these personalised snack trays are perfect. No packets to open and hopefully no dropped snacks. I'm sharing how to make your own personalised travel snack tray.

The materials you will need for this craft are:

Supplies I used: Plastic storage box, self adhesive vinyl, weeding and burnishing tool, scissors, cricut maker, standard grip mat, transfer tape, tape measure, rubbing alcohol, sweets

A plastic storage box - Home Bargains

Self Adhesive vinyl in the colours of your choice

Weeding tool and burnishing tool

Selection of sweets or treats - Home Bargains

Step 1

Measure the top of your box so you know how much space you have for your design. Then head over into design space to design the text you wish to put on the front. I used 3 different fonts for my travel snack box. You can chose any fonts you like for your design.

For Lisa I used the font - Bouncy Candle

For Travel I used the font - Alesand Round

And for Snacks I used the font - October.

I purchased all these fonts from Fontbundles.net

You can use just text for this part or you can also add designs as well.

Step 2

Once you have decided on the text it is time to cut the vinyl. Even though all my words are going to be cut in different colours I placed them all on the same mat. This is going to save time during the cutting process.

I have a YouTube video on How to cut multiple colours of vinyl on one cutting mat that you can watch here.

Step 3

The standard grip mat loaded into my cricut maker with turquoise, purple and pink vinyl on

Next cut the vinyl, I placed it on my standard grip mat. I made sure that I had a big enough piece of vinyl for the text that I wanted to cut out. As we are using self adhesive vinyl we do not need to mirror the vinyl.

Step 4

Once the vinyl has been cut. Weed away any excess vinyl so you are just left with your text or design.

Step 5

Clean the front of the box with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any grease and the sticky label.

Step 6

Using the transfer tape, place your design on the front of the box. If you need to, use your tape measure to make sure that the text is in the centre.
