Summer Drink Cooler Cut Files

Use these summer drink cooler cut files to personalize your summer entertaining gear!

The unofficial start of summer is almost here! We’ve already spent several nights enjoying the warm (but not too hot) weather on our back deck. I love eating dinner our deck and relaxing with a cold drink at the end of a long day.  It’s the perfect way to unwind. And no need to go back and forth to the fridge for more drinks when you have a drink cooler handy. I love to personalize ALL.THE.THINGS and today I’m sharing my newest cut files with you… my summer drink cooler cut files.

How fun are these cut files? I love how the white pops against the blue cooler. I bought the cooler last year and have gotten a lot of compliments on it so I wanted to dress it up a bit this year. It’s going to look so good at our Memorial Day get together.

HOW TO USE THE DRINK COOLER CUT FILES

If you are not familiar with cut files, you may want to first read this post about how to use SVG files. SVG stands for scalable vector graphic and it is the format that most cut files come in. In addition to SVG format, I’m also offering the cut file as a DXF, and PNG. DXF files can be used with Silhouette Basic Edition software and PNG files are for use in either Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva or any other program that supports PNG files.

If you would like to make a project like the one shown above, here is what you will need:

• Adhesive Vinyl 
• Cut Files 
• Silhouette or Cricut
• Weeding Tools
• Wooden cut out of your choice

OTHER WAYS TO USE CUT FILES

Don’t want to use adhesive vinyl? No problem! There are many other ways that you can use these files. One of my favorite ways to use cut files is to customize clothing with heat transfer vinyl. Check out this post to see how to use heat transfer vinyl.  The “Come Chill With Me” file would look great on a shirt!

SVG CUT FILE FAQs

How do I open these files in my Silhouette software?
First, download the file and save it to your computer. If it is a zip file, unzip it. 

Next, open your Silhouette software and click FILE>OPEN and navigate to where you saved the file. You can also import the file(s) to your Silhouette library by clicking FILE>LIBRARY>IMPORT TO LIBRARY and navigating to where you saved the file.

Can I open SVG files in the Silhouette Basic Edition?
No. You must have Silhouette Designer Edition to open SVG files. If you have Silhouette Basic Edition, you can only open STUDIO files and DXF files. STUDIO files are specific to Silhouette.

Can this file be used with a Cricut?
Yes. Any SVG file can be used in Cricut Design Space. 

How do I cut different layers in different colors?
If you want your finished product to contain multiple colors of vinyl as I have in the project above, read this post to learn how to cut layers with the Silhouette.
