Supplies

Cutting the Fabric Designs

Start by downloading the SVG files provided in the Supplies list above. Then upload the file of your choice to your cutting machine.

NOTE: Files are sized to work with 8″ x 5″ canvas zipper bags. Enlarge or reduce the size of the artwork if you are working with a different size bag.

Feeding the fabric mat into Cricut Maker.

Instructions For Cricut Maker:

Place your fabric (right side up) onto your pink mat. Use a brayer to adhere it to your mat. Load the rotary blade into your machine and select your materials settings. I chose Cotton under the fabric menu and More for pressure. After cutting, carefully peel your fabric from the mat so as not to stretch it.

Instructions For Cricut Explore:

When using Cricut Explore, you’ll need to prepare your fabric first by ironing on fusible webbing or freezer paper to the wrong side of your fabric. To do this cut a piece of fusible webbing or freezer paper the same size as your fabric square. Iron the rough side of the fusible webbing OR the shiny side of the freezer paper to (the wrong side) of your fabric.

Put the fabric fusible webbing/freezer paper side down on your pink or green mat and use a brayer to adhere it. Use the fine point blade and select the material setting under the Felt menu Felt Wool, Bonded. After cutting, carefully peel your fabric from the mat so as not to stretch it. Remove any paper backing if you used fusible webbing or remove the freezer paper before continuing.

Applying Mod Podge Fabric

Coat the design with Mod Podge for Fabric.

Lay cut-out fabric on your canvas bag where you want them. Next, take each piece up one at a time and coat well with Modge Podge on the wrong side of the fabric. Add more Mod Podge to the top. Add extra to the edges. The Mod Podge will look milky when it goes on but will dry clear!
