How To Print On Fabric With The Cricut

It is very important to prepare your compatible infusion ink blank. Go over the entire printing area with a lint roller. Check heat settings and all steps online at Cricut Heat Guide.

Following the heat guide instructions, set the EasyPress 2 and preheat your blank.

1. Place a small towel, then a piece of cardstock inside the bag.
2. Place design face down on top.
3. Cover design with butcher paper and press with light pressure at 385°F for 60 seconds. When timer is up slowly lift press, remove butcher paper and remove liner while warm.

The big reveal is so exciting. The results are so professional. Add a zipper charm for a fun detail.

These little bags make a thoughtful gift that any teacher would appreciate! The free svg files would also be great on a tote bag or make great teacher shirts. You might also like this shirt design. Making great DIY gifts for your favorite teachers can be easy!
