These No-Sew Appliqué Zipper Pouches are easy DIYs and make great gifts for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any occasion.

I bought a set of 12 zipper bags. They were really inexpensive (link in the craft supply list below). I’ve also provided the SVG files I used.

I used Mod Podge for Fabric for this project because it’s washable! Add fabric appliqués to a larger canvas tote bag, canvas sneakers, t-shirts, or anything else you can dream up.

So grab some colorful scrap fabric and let’s make a few cute canvas zipper pouches.

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: The files are sized to work with the canvas pouches I bought. Enlarge or reduce the size of the artwork if you are working with a different size bag.

Feeding the fabric mat into Cricut Maker.

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 setting. I chose “Cotton” under the fabric menu and chose “More” for pressure. After cutting, carefully peel your fabric from the mat so as not to stretch it.

FOR CRICUT EXPLORE: You’ll need to iron fusible webbing or freezer paper to the wrong side of your fabric before cutting. 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 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 for Fabric

Place fabric pieces onto the canvas zipper pouch where you’d like them to go then coat the back of each piece and place it back onto the canvas bag. Work one piece at a time.
Coat the fabric design with Mod Podge for Fabric making sure to completely cover the edges.

Lay your cut-out designs 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 perfectly clear!
