Good Times and Tan Lines HTV Bachelorette Tote Bags
For Destination Bachelorette Parties and even Desitnation Weddings, matching totes for your bridesmaids are always a fun gift! These adorable Good Times and Tan Lines Tote Bags are perfect for any beach day and are super useful for storing all your beach gear and accessories!
For my tote, I used Jade Easyweed HTV for the lettering and I absolutely love how they turned out! This simple and whimsical design goes with any beachy bachelorette theme and is an easy project for people who are new to Iron on Transfer Projects. :)
Supplies:
Blank Tote Bags
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Tote Bag Design Cut Files
1. After downloading the cut files, import them into the Cricut Software. After creating a new project, select Upload Image. Select the file you wish to upload and it will automatically take you to the final upload screen, where you can name the file the select Save. The SVG Files are sized so that they will automatically cut to the size you see in the photos, but if you want to change the size you can do so to fit the tote bags the way you like.
2. After selecting “Make It” Make sure to select the Mirror Mode on the cutting screen. Cut the design(s) in your choice of heat transfer vinyl with the Iron On (for Easyweed Vinyl) or Iron On+ (for Glitter Vinyl) Setting on your Cricut, with the shiny side of the material down.
3. Weed the additional material off of the backing material so that, looking down with the shiny side up, you can see your design with the correct orientation.
4. Iron your tote bag to remove any creases, then center the design in the middle of the tote. Arrange the design shiny side up, then cover with parchment paper. Make sure to keep the parchment paper between the design and the iron.
5. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting and press the the iron down firmly on the design, not ironing but rather using it as a small heat press. I worked from the upper left to lower right on the design, pressing the iron on each part of the design for at least 30 seconds, then overlapping the last position as you move the iron across the design.
6. Remove the backing from the design, leaving the design on the Tote Bag. Repeat with all the remaining tote bags.
