Preparation
- Make sure your tote bag is clean, dry and ironed flat.
- Use your Cricut to cut out the design at A4 size, then weed the image before you begin - make sure the vinyl side is facing UP when you cut!
- Check the Cricut Heat Guide to find the right heat setting for your project
- Plug in your EasyPress Mini and turn it on to bring it up to temperature
How to make...
- Position the design onto your tote bag, ensuring the liner (the clear, shiny side) is facing up
- Start a timer for the time given in the Cricut Heat Guide
- Working clockwise around the design apply heat to your design one small area at a time, keeping the EasyPress Mini moving until the timer runs out
- Each time the timer runs out, repeat the process for the next area
- Wait until the project cools down and peel away the clear liner
