EASY ENTERTAINING IDEAS: HOLIDAY SWEATER PARTY FAVORS
You probably know Cricut has iron-on materials in dozens of colors and patterns, but did you know they also make pre-made iron-on designs to make your projects even easier? This time of year I’m always looking for ways things quick and easy and the Cricut Iron-On Designs are a fun and colorful way to do just that. {FTC disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links which means I may make a commission on any purchases made, at no additional cost to you.}
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Cricut Iron-On Designs – I used the Ugly Sweater set
- canvas tote bags (I found them at Hobby Lobby – they have a variety of colors!)
- Cricut EasyPress (this could also be done with the EasyPress 2 or the EasyPress Mini)
- Cricut EasyPress mat
- scissors

HOW TO MAKE HOLIDAY SWEATER PARTY FAVORS:
- Remove Iron-On Designs from packaging and trim around each design. I always cut the backing as well in case I need to come back to the project later.
2. Remove the backing from the Iron-On Design. Preheat the tote (according to the instructions on the Cricut Heat Guide) for five seconds then place the Iron-On Design on the tote.
3. Place the EasyPress on top of the Iron-On Design and press according to the Heat Guide (in this case – 340 degrees for 30 seconds).
4. Remove the EasyPress and let the Iron-On Design cool. If it is not easy to remove, use the EasyPress again in shorter increments.
5. Once the Iron-On Design has cooled remove the plastic transfer sheet. Fill with goodies and enjoy!
