Fall Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday Everyone!
Today is going to be so much fun with lots of inspiration from our amazing talented women. The theme of our blog hop is FALL so if you came over from Ruthie blog you going in the right direction or you can also start from the beginning right by clicking  HERE!


Fall reminds me of Halloween and adorable kids in cute costume
trick or treating and having so much fun...
So I decided to show you how to make a trick or treat bag for
your little ghost or goblins using your cricut...

First your supplies needed for this project are as follows
I purchased all at Jo Ann's except the painter tape got it at Lowes


Heat and Bond
Tulip Fabric Paint
Fabric (100% cotton works best)
Canvas Bag
Painter Tape (blue)


(Best to use a new mat for this project helps the fabric stay down for cutting.)

You will need to bond your fabric with the Heat and Bond material following the directions on the package. Once your fabric is bond together you can place it Heat and Bond side up on your cricut mat (see sample image below).

Tape around the bonded fabric with painter tape this just give you that extra hold needed to keep your fabric in place for cutting...

Now simple choice your design and cut it out on your cricut machine. I picked the cute bat from Cricut Cartridge Hello Kitty and cut it out at 8" it fit onto a whole 12" by 12" piece of fabric easily.
You can test out your cut on a scrap piece of card stock first to
 make sure it fit on your bag.

I then iron the bat down on a canvas bag, again following the instructions that come with the Heat and Bond material.  Once the "bat" was bonded to my bag I painted around it with a fine line of Tulip Fabric Paint 
 bright orange it even
glows in the dark
 for extra safe Trick or Treating...
I added button eyes and my grandson name "JASON" to personalized just for my little goblin...

Really a cute Batty Bag don't ya think!
I just love the candy corn fabric.. so yummy I want to eat it up...
