For the following steps, I'll be using Cricut Design Space.
If you use Silhouette Studio or a different design software, your steps may be different than mine.
To start, upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space and add it to your Canvas.
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.
Click on Make and the next screen is the matt preview to see the different layers.
Click next and select the material cutting, I am using Smart Vinyl.
Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space to know the color of the vinyl to load into the machine next.
When removing the vinyl from the mat, turn the mat over and remove the mat from the material instead of the other way around.
Weed all cut layers of vinyl.
Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the finished design, and cut a piece of transfer tape the same size.
When layering vinyl, start with the top layer and move to the bottom. With this design, black is the top layer.
Place the transfer tape over the top layer, and go over it with a scraper tool.
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.
The parchment paper makes it so the design doesn't stick before you have the design centered.
Center the top layer over the second layer of the design.
Find that centered placement, and press the top of the exposed transfer tape down.
Lift up the transfer tape, remove the parchment paper, and roll the top layer down with a scraper tool.
Repeat the same steps for the next two layers.
Remove the backing paper from the design and place the parchment paper behind the design.
Move the design until the correct placement is found.
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.
Repeat again to adhere the design to the final fourth layer.
Here is the layered design.
Keep the parchment paper behind the layered design while trying to find the best placement on the plastic gift bag.
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.
Press the design into the page and then peel back the transfer tape.
Since the bag and the transfer tape are both plastic, the transfer tape is a little trickier to remove, but it will come up.
Next comes the fun part of filling the bag!
I went to my localDollar Treeand purchased all the watermelon snacks and some white tissue paper.
Line the gift bag with a couple of sheets of tissue paper, and then fill it with all the goodies.
Now the gift is ready to gift, and it is so cute!
This cute gift bag could be used for so many different celebrations!
Of course, any small gift would work in this cute gift bag. The watermelon-themed treats just worked for my gift-giving needs.
Any of theseFunny SVGcut files would work great on a gift bag! 😂
