Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your money bags! Upload our exclusive Cricut cut file by using the “upload” button on the left tool bar. Locate the file on your computer and select to add it to your canvas. Then drag, resize, and add personal touches if you’d like. I cut each of these at 5″ wide. Prepare your mat and get ready to cut!

Let Your Cricut Work It’s Magic

You ALWAYS need to click the “mirror-image” button for iron-on projects, otherwise your lettering will be backwards.

Weed The Designs

Weed, (aka. remove) all the excess iron-on material that isn’t a part of your design. Using the Cricut weeding tools makes the removal of intricate pieces super easy. Then trim each design down to size if needed.

Two Colors

I used the Black Everyday Iron-on material for the wording and then the gold and silver foil iron-on for the extra details.

Iron Your Bag

After you ice-dye your bag it can be a bit wrinkly, so iron it with your EasyPress or iron. It’s good to warm up the fabric before a transfer anyway.

Adhere The Designs

One of my favorite aspects of using the EasyPress 2 is that Cricut has already created an amazing guide of heat times and heat temperatures for all fabrics and types of iron-on. So if you’re using everyday iron-on on a 100% cotton like I am here, there is an exact setting for that, which happens to be 315º for 30 seconds, light pressure, with a warm peel. No guesswork, you don’t have to hope that your iron is hot enough or that you’ve held it on the fabric for long enough. Follow this link to find the interactive chart, then simply plug the correct temperature into your Easy Press! Remove the heat transfer sheet and you have yourself an adorably personalized bag to collect all those bills in!

Ice-Dying With Liquid RitDye

Usually you do ice-dying with the powder version of RitDye but I already had the colors I needed in the liquid version, so I figured I’d try it out and I came up with something that worked!

• First I mixed a very small amount of my desired color in a squirt bottle. I visited Rit’s Color Formula Page and did Succulent Green and Faded Jeans.
• I tested the color on a paper towel and mixed until I was happy.
• Then I poured 3 varying amounts into 3 bottles total, and then topped them all off with water filling to the same height on the bottle.
• In theory, this should give me my exact color and two more shades that were lighter, which is exactly what I wanted. Something to create the look of a marble tie-dye.

Stack The Ice

• First wet your fabric
• Then crumple up on top of a cookie cooling rack, on top of a baking sheet, or something similar
• Then pile the ice high

Squirt on the Dye

You can watch me do this entire process in our Instagram REELS!

Then squirt a small amount of the darkest color over the ice, then the medium, and then the light. I used a lot of the light color. I kept squirting a bit more of all the colors here and there over an hour or so. Then I just let all the ice melt, which I didn’t get a picture of.

Then wash and dry the fabric. I just did this step in the sink and passed on the color fixative step because these bags won’t be worn/used and washed over and over.

Marble, Watercolor Look

I love how the dye came out on these bags! It is a totally optional step for this project but it’s a great way to personalize these bags to fit your unique event.

It’s also a great technique for dying other things too! I did a tank top this way that had stains on it from being a mom, and now it’s got a new life!
