Learn how to create your own Spring Tote bag with iron-on vinyl and a Cricut Maker. So fast and easy!
I chose a very spring-like pattern because I am ready for spring after this long hard winter. I found this pattern called Spring Bloom on Etsy, so it was super easy to use with my Cricut Maker.
I am not sure where I got my canvas tote bag, but Amazon has one that looks very similar and it comes in a 3-pack. I love that! Check them out here.
Vinyl for DIY Tote Bag
I used iron-on vinyl I had in my craft closet. The teal flower was originally light purple. But I didn’t have that, so I chose another color I liked just as well.
Once I had the canvas tote bag measured, I adjusted the size of my Etsy image to fit. Some of the pieces were too long for my 12 inch mat and I was too lazy to get the longer one, so I sliced them in half to fit them on the mat I was using.

Ready to Cut Tote Bag Vinyl
Once I had the image sized and the longer pieces sliced, I cut the iron-on vinyl like normal, of course remembering to mirror every piece.
I weeded the pieces and then ironed them on the canvas tote bag. I did make sure to press the tote bag with my Cricut Easy Press, just to make sure the wrinkles were flat.
Apply the Vinyl on the Tote Bag
I layered each piece starting with the grass, then the first part of the word Bloom. Then I moved on to the flowers and the last part of the word Bloom. Last was the butterflies.
It really came together so easy and quick. I think it took me longer to pick out the vinyl colors than it did to heat-press them on the canvas tote bag. I love it!
Ok…now it is your turn. Go forth and craft!
