Handmade Watermelon Gift Bag with Free SVG

Step 1

To start, upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space and add it to your Canvas.

Step 2

The design is ready to cut as soon as uploaded but can be resized. Just make sure that all layers are resized so they still fit together.

Step 3

Click on Make and the next screen is the matt preview to see the different layers.

Step 4

Click next and select the material cutting, I am using Smart Vinyl.

Step 5

Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space to know the color of the vinyl to load into the machine next.

Step 6

When removing the vinyl from the mat, turn the mat over and remove the mat from the material instead of the other way around.

Step 7

Weed all cut layers of vinyl.

Step 8

Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the finished design, and cut a piece of transfer tape the same size.

Step 9

When layering vinyl, start with the top layer and move to the bottom. With this design, black is the top layer.

Step 10

Place the transfer tape over the top layer, and go over it with a scraper tool.

Step 11

Remove the backing tape to the vinyl layer, and place the parchment paper square behind the vinyl just a bit below the top of the tape.

Step 12

The parchment paper makes it so the design doesn't stick before you have the design centered.

Step 13

Center the top layer over the second layer of the design.

Step 14

Find that centered placement, and press the top of the exposed transfer tape down.

Step 15

Lift up the transfer tape, remove the parchment paper, and roll the top layer down with a scraper tool.

Step 16

Repeat the same steps for the next two layers.

Step 17

Remove the backing paper from the design and place the parchment paper behind the design.

Step 18

Move the design until the correct placement is found.

Step 19

Press the exposed area of the transfer tape down, lift the transfer tape to remove the parchment paper, and then press down the transfer tape on top.

Step 20

Repeat again to adhere the design to the final fourth layer.

Step 21

Keep the parchment paper behind the layered design while trying to find the best placement on the plastic gift bag.

Step 22

Press down the exposed strip of transfer tape to the gift bag, lift the transfer tape, remove the parchment paper, and then roll the design onto the bag with a scraper tool.

Step 23

Press the design into the page and then peel back the transfer tape.

Step 24

Since the bag and the transfer tape are both plastic, the transfer tape is a little trickier to remove, but it will come up.
