It’s so important to follow these instructions exactly! My design was too large for my EasyPress, so I just worked in chunks. Once you’re done weeding, it’s time to get our canvas bag ready for the Iron-On! In order to figure out what to put your EasyPress settings at, you can head to to figure out the exact settings! For this project, Cricut recommends: Temperature at 340F, preheating for 5 seconds, applying heat and gentle pressure for 30 seconds, flipping the material and pressing for 15 seconds and then peeling off warm.

TIP: I like to bend my mat backwards (see below) instead of the Iron-On to prevent the Iron-On from getting bent or kinked.ĥ. Remember, you’re weeding the Iron-On and not the protective clear sheet. Once it’s finished cutting, peel the Iron-On off of the mat and start weeding. Hopefully the picture helps! If you’re new to Iron-On like I was when I made this project, you might be thinking, “You have to mirror the image AND put the vinyl on backwards?” At least, that’s what I thought but the answer is: YES. For me, I’m using purple iron-on – so I put the shiny purple face down. Use a scraper or credit card to really push it down onto the mat. if you are cutting red iron-on, put the red side down. This next part is so important, so don’t miss it: you have to put the Iron-On FACE down! For example. I like to use the Standard Grip mat (green) or Light Grip mat (blue) for Iron-On. Once you’ve done that, put your cutting settings on Iron-On.ģ. I have circled on the screenshot below where to click. When you’re on this screen, you’ll want to make sure that your design is mirror-ed, so that when you cut it, it’s actually backwards.

The number for this design is #MB5002CA.Ģ. Sometimes I like to make my own, but it can be pretty time consuming – so I like to use Cricut Access when I can. I love Cricut Access because it saves me SO much time in making designs. To get started, you’ll want to create your design or find one in Cricut Access.

Cutting Mat: either StandardGrip or LightGrip.Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2 (or any machine that can cut Iron-On/HTV).I thought it would be the perfect fit since I love using these bags for grocery shopping, especially at Farmer’s Markets in the summer! I found a design in Cricut Access that says “Fresh Flower Market”. I recently received an EasyPress, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to not only try out Cricut’s Iron-On, but also the EasyPress for the first time! I had a canvas/muslin reusable bag that was blank so I thought I would jazz it up on there. I think Iron-On/HTV makes everything better, wouldn’t you agree? Whether you want to personalize something for yourself or for a gift, the possibilities are endless.
