Halloween Vinyl Decorated Trick or Treat Bag – GIVE AWAY
Expressions Vinyl sent me some great vinyl to try out (and something great for YOU TOO!). 😀 Today I used their white iron-on (heat transfer) vinyl to create this fun bag for Halloween night! You can make one too!
Here’s what I used:
You’ll need heat transfer vinyl and an iron for sure! I used the Mini Monster’s Cricut cartridge for everything. I bought the bag in a set of 3 at Hobby Lobby. Did you know they have an online store too? They do! Ok, I know you see that mat says Pazzles. Well, I don’t own a Pazzles machine, but I was curious if the Cricut could use their mats too. The answer? Yes AND no. I had to cut it down to make it fit, but it works just like a regular Cricut mat. Frankly, that was a rather boring experiment. LOL!
Here I am cutting the iron on vinyl. You have to cut it with the shiny side down AND use the flip button. I teach you all about using heat transfer/iron-on vinyl (and lots of other vinyl too) in my Cricut Vinylology DVD.
AH HA! He’s all cut out and weeded. He’s a bit sticky from the mat, but he’s just fine and ready for some heat. 😉 He was cut at 8 1/2″ and is from page 48 in Mini Monsters. When I’m just doing vinyl projects for myself, I only use an Exacto knife for weeding. I used to work in a vinyl sign shop that’s what I did there. 😉
I’m using a Teflon sheet to cover the vinyl so I can iron it. You need to put something over the vinyl before ironing directly on it.
I hope you like it!
READY FOR THE TREAT?

I have been wanting to do more with vinyl and this may be the push I need 🙂
I love the idea of iron on vinyl. The whole vinyl thing is so new to me. Got your DVD now have to get me some vinyl LOL. Thanks for all your posts this month. I am enjoying them!
I have lots of vinal, but only used it a few times. Ready to broaden my horiesun(sp)! How permant is the skeleton on the bag? Can it at least be hand washed and hung to dry without it coming off? I was thinking of making some Christmas (loot) bags this year for the grandchildren to take their gifts home from their visit!
I wish I had seen the discount code before today! 🙁 I just ordered from Expressions Vinyl. Great prices and shipping was super fast. I am going to decorate a black cd/player radio to make it Batman radio for my nephew for Christmas.
Another GREAT Halloween project! I am so inspired by everything that you do!!! Thanks for being so generous in sharing tutorials! Awesome!
I haven’t tried using vinyl yet but it is on my list to try. I love your witch card and all your other projects that you post!!
