I layered all my pieces together according to the heat guide and then I used my Cricut EasyPress to apply the Infusible Ink sheets.
#Holiday gift wrappers how to
They give very specific instructions for how to put everything together for the best possible outcome. Once everything is cut out, you will want to look up the Cricut Heat Guide to get instructions on how to apply and use the Infusible Ink. The colors become much more vibrant once applied to the tote bag or shirt. You’ll notice that the Infusible Ink sheets themselves look MUCH lighter than how they appear on the bag and that’s normal. After each piece cuts, you will have to weed the cut to only reveal the design that will transfer over to the tote bag. You place the Infusible Ink sheets color side up and then load them into your Cricut Machine and push the little “C” button to get started. For this project, I used a 12×12 Standard Grip Mat to hold my Infusible Ink on it. The machine will group your cuts into different mats and you can adjust the sizes and layouts of all the cuts before getting going. If you don’t Mirror the image at the time of cutting, it will read backwards on your tote bag! Once you’re ready to create, remember that for the wording you will need to Mirror your image. In the upper right corner, you can select “Color Sync” where you can adjust the colors of each design so that they group together according to the color Infusible Ink you wish to use, thus reducing waste and cut time. You will want to pull up the Design in Cricut Design Space and then you can adjust things as needed for the size and colors of your design. For this post though, it’s important that you realize that you MUST use a Cricut Tote Bag in order for the Infusible Ink to work (a down side of Infusible Ink is that you have to use Cricut specific products for it to work right, unlike vinyl where you can use anything). There are pros and cons to both, but I really love how Cricut Infusible Ink works. I love working with Infusible Ink because it gives you more of a “screen printed” look versus what heat transfer vinyl gives you. If you haven’t heard about Infusible Ink yet, you’re missing out. I think this would actually be really cute in all black too. But you can make it easier on yourself (and cheaper) and just use one color if you so choose. For this bag, I used green, red, and gray Infusible Ink, so I had three mats to cut and weed for this tote bag. Depending on how many colors you use, there will be more cuts.
#Holiday gift wrappers download
You can download the Gangsta Wrapper cut file HERE and then follow the instructions on how to cut out the design. I designed it in Cricut Design Space and then cut the designs out on Cricut’s Infusible Ink. The best part of this gift, in my opinion, is the cute tote bag that I made using my Cricut Maker.

Gangsta Wrapper Holiday Gift Bag InstructionsĬricut Infusible Ink (red, green, and gray) So why not give the gift of making gift wrapping EASIER for the holidays!? You can buy ALL those items at the dollar store for very inexpensive, put them into a personalized cute bag like the one I’m about to show you that I made using my Cricut, and then gift them the peace of mind of not having to worry about collecting all that stuff this holiday season! Pretty cool, right? I’ll walk you through how I made this… We ALL have to wrap gifts around the holidays! We need tape, scissors, bows, ribbon, boxes, wrapping paper, gift tags, etc. For example, today I want to show you my idea for a Gangsta Wrapper Holiday Gift Bag idea. Give people things that they will use, that will make their lives easier, or that they will have to buy already. I’m really trying harder to be more deliberate with my gift giving like this Neighbor Gift Idea from last year.

What should we get teachers for Christmas? What is a good neighbor gift idea? What should we get a special friend? The stores flood us with loads of stuff we don’t need and I find that months later, those cute little mugs and other items just end up getting pushed to the back of our cupboards or donated…because who really needs another mug and we ALL have plenty of candy and sweets for the holidays. Each year I think we all struggle with what to give all the people in our lives.
