15 Minute Crafts: Custom Mini Tote Bag

Looking for a quick way to take your outfit up a notch? Grab your Cricut and create a custom mini tote bag for any occasion!
Author: Beth Kingston

Materials

  • Cricut Maker (available at Cricut, Michaels, and HSN) – this would work just as well with an Explore Air
  • Cricut mat – I used light grip but standard grip works perfectly too!
  • Cricut Everyday Iron-On – I used Gold
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • Cricut EasyPress Mat
  • Cricut Basic Tool Set
  • small canvas tote/makeup bags – I got these on sale at JoAnn

Instructions

  • Choose an image in Design Space or upload your own. I used an image from these free SVG files my friends and I created just in time for the Summer! Resize image to fit bag and cut from iron-on. Remember to mirror your image and put the iron-on shiny side down on your mat!
  • Remove excess iron-on then use Cricut weeder for fine details.
  • Heat surface for five seconds (check Cricut EasyPress recommended settings for specific instructions), then center iron-on on bag.
  • Use EasyPress to adhere iron-on to bag.
  • Remove backing (warm or cool peel based on recommended settings).
  • Look fabulous at your next get-together!
