DIY Personalised Christmas Gift Sacks
G’day guys, this holiday season I’ve teamed up with Cricut to create DIY personalised Christmas gift sacks for Goldie and all of her little friends. This is a really fun project and I know the kids will enjoy them for many years to come. I hope this inspires you to get crafty this holiday season and from my family to yours Merry Christmas!
Step 1.
The first thing I did was create the design in Cricut Design Space, I decided to use glitter iron on vinyl to add a touch of Christmas magic. I mirrored my designs and sent them to the Cricut 3 machine which cut them out quickly and precisely. I then used the weeder tool to remove the excess iron-on, leaving my designs on the liner.
Step 2.
I used the Cricut Easy Press Mini and pad to transfer my designs onto the fabric. I pressed the front, then flipped the fabric over, pressed from the back and just like that the liner came off.
Step 3.
I sewed the front and back fabric, repeated for the internal lining then sewed them together so that all of my seams were hidden. I added a casing to the outside of the bags and threaded through cotton ribbon. I used clear nail varnish to ensure the ends didn’t fray. For a finishing touch I added personalised Christmas decorations.
