Instead of labeling her lunch bag and boxes with a marker (like I normally do), I thought her new lunch kit could do with some deluxe personalisation. Tip: To stop your container or water bottle from rolling around, use a small towel with the edges rolled up creating a little valley in the center. Your rounded container should nestle nicely in the valley and stay put.
Time to make your own personalised lunch bag! I bought this basic polyester fabric lunch bag from Kmart. I liked how tall it was so Emma could fit her food flasks, and assorted lunch containers in there with plenty of room for whole fruit as well. In design space adjust the size of your selected name. Hide any other elements (little eyes far right) that you don’t want to cut from premium vinyl. The majority of our items are delivered within 2 working days from the date of dispatch although this is not I used removable vinyl for these projects because these flasks are hand-wash only, but if you want to label items that will go in the dishwasher, I recommend ‘permanent’ vinyl which is dishwasher safe. You will need:
Insulated Tiffins ( Lunch Box) / Insulated Servers
Each set of lunchbox notes is themed around a different topic and includes a mixture of cute illustrated cards with quotes,fun facts and jokes for kids. I used 2 different styles of adhesive vinyl for this Cricut craft project. The insulated lunch bag was personalised with Cricut Glitter Iron-On heat transfer vinyl, and the food flasks were labeled with Cricut Premium vinyl. If at any point we think that we will take longer than this, we will inform you as soon as possible. Iron on vinyl as instructed for 20sec. I’ve used a layer of baking paper in between my press and the lunch bag to protect the fabric surrounding the iron-on transfer paper.
You’ll need to join your letters together so the name will cut out in one piece. Once you are happy with the way your text looks, go ahead and select all the letters then ‘WELD’. This will join the lettering permanently. Place required sized piece of glitter vinyl on grip mat shiny side down. The dull surface is the heat sensitive glue hence the need to reverse the image.Create a ‘New project’ to open up the canvas space. Choose the ‘Text’ button in left hand column and type in your desired name or words. Choose desired font from the pull down menu. I’ve used ‘Babette’ which is free with a Cricut access subscription. Time to prepare your lunch bag for the heat press. Because the surface I wanted to transfer the iron-on to wasn’t flat, I had to stuff it with something to make a flat surface for the Easy Press 2 to press down on. I filled the lunch bag with a metal tin and my diary to get a nice firm surface, then I slipped in the Easy Press mat. If you are ironing onto a flat surface, you can skip this step. The following items are send direct from the manufacturer/supplier and delivery information is as follows. Peel while still warm and allow to cool fully. So sparkly! Your personalised lunch bag is all done!
As a Cricut newbie, I was a little bit intimidated to use vinyls in a craft project, but it was surprisingly easy, and I’m super pleased with the results. It was time to fire up my new Cricut Maker cutting machine and try out the various iron-on and adhesive vinyls that Cricut very generously sent me to review. For example I’ve used the gold glitter vinyl to tie in with the gold flask. The maroon lettering works well with the pink, but also is similar in color to the branches on the lunch bag palm leaf print.
Food Storage Containers
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to design your own custom font in Cricut Design Space, how to apply heat transfer vinyl onto an insulated lunch bag, and how to cut and apply regular adhesive vinyl onto a flask or drink bottle.
On the same grip mat add multiple coloured pieces of appropriately sized vinyl where the designed will cut out according to the mat layout. Before you fire up your cutting machine or warm up your heat press, you’ll need to make your custom design in Cricut Design Space. Now you can move your letters together so they join up. You can customise your individual letter sizes at this stage to make the script look more like hand lettering. I swapped out the letter ‘E’ for to a different font called ‘Friday’, and increased the size of the ‘a’ slightly to balance out the name. Here you'll find our complete collection of free printable lunchbox notes for kids all in once place.
Storage Jars
Because I have a large heat press I was slightly worried about melting the plastic zipper. To prevent this potential disaster I taped a small cotton towel over the zipper with some Cricut heat resistant tape. seo_url" : "https://www.smiggle.co.uk/shop/en/smiggleuk/popem-popit-poppies-lunchbox-with-strap-661626", Follow the instructions in maker space to cut the vinyl. Once cut, remove from mat and weed any unwanted vinyl. (Keep the scraps for future projects.) This was such an easy Cricut craft project for beginners. The containers turned out super stylish with a bit of a vintage twist. I can’t wait to use this technique to label all the containers in my panty!
