Cricut DIY: Little Girls Dance Bag

CRICUT DIY: LITTLE GIRLS DANCE BAG. LEARN HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE GIRLS DANCE BAG WITH HOLOGRAPHIC IRON-ON VINYL AND THE CRICUT EXPLORER AIR 2 & CRICUT EASYPRESS 2.

My youngest daughter recently started Dance and it’s the cutest thing! 3 year olds trying to follow along is so much fun to watch. But with any new activity and sport comes more gear, and in this case that’s shoes. So I looked and looked for a small dance bag and couldn’t find anything that was reasonably priced. So I made one!

Here’s how you can make your own Little Girls Dance Bag too.

I wanted something simple, and she wanted it to be pretty, of course! So, I made my way to Hobby Lobby to see what their options were for bags. I ended up picking up this cute little Canvas Tote Bag With Pockets. It’s the perfect size and just right to hold her ballet shoes, tap shoes, and water.

I then started designing some graphics to customize it.

Materials Needed:

Here’s How to make a Little Girls Dance Bag!

Step 1 || First you’ll need yo upload my art into Cricut Design Space. You can grab the files below. or you can find your own images in Cricut Access to use. If you haven’t already signed up for Cricut Access, I suggest you do. It’s amazing how many graphics you get to use.

Step 2 || Next, size the art accordingly to your bag.

Step 3 || Prep your mat with Holographic Iron-On Vinyl and follow the prompts on Design Space to cut. Don’t forget to click the “Mirror” button before you cut. Repeat the same steps with the Glitter Iron-On

Step 4 || After the Vinyl has been cut, weed the art.

Step 5 || Next, figure out your placement and prepare your Cricut EasyPress 2.

Not sure what temperature or Time to set?

Remember that the temperature, time, and pressure vary by base material AND iron-on type. Before starting a new project, it’s always best to confirm time and temperature settings. A great place to do that is here >>> Cricut Heat Guide

Step 6 || Next, apply the Iron-On Vinyl with the Cricut EasyPress 2. Using the EasyPress Mat really helps with this project since you can place it inside the bag.

Step 7 || Repeat the steps to the other side of the bag, and you’re done!

Here’s the after.

The Holographic Iron-On is a super cool feature. My daughter loves that is changes colors. Want to grab these 2 graphics to use for yourself? Get them below.
