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!

OMG Joy I was just wondering yesterday if I could substitute the Pazzles mats for my E. Question answered, thank you!
Always LOVE your vinyl projects.
Love it as usual…. You rock!
So super cute! TFS
The iron on vinyl looks like a great project…have you researched how it stays on after washings for shirts? Does it go through the dryer or hang to dry? The bag project looks way cool. Thanks Joy.

Great bag – perfect for trick or treating! I really need to get some vinyl and try it out. I ordered some with a bundle, and only half of what was advertised arrived, so all of it is going back. So disappointed 🙁
