WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR SANTA SACK

Scroll to the bottom for a printable list and tutorial

• XL Laundry Bags – I purchase my Santa Sacks from Amazon. They come in a package of two for about $11 and if you have Amazon Prime, you get free 2-day shipping! Dirt cheap, right? Now that’s my kind of deal!
• Heat Transfer Vinyl 
• Teflon Sheets
• Heat Press Tape
• Download the Free Santa Sack SVG cut files from our FREE community library. Simply subscribe to our newsletter below and get instant access to it along with all of our other FREE resources. (This file is for personal use only. If you’d like to make products to sell using files from Footprints of Inspiration, you can check out our commercial licenses.)

Cricut users, if you need help ungrouping items in Cricut Design Space, check out How To Make Stickers with Your Cricut. (It’s a print and cut tutorial, however, it demonstrates how to ungroup your designs.)

 

Tools needed for your santa sack

• Silhouette Cameo or Cricut Cutting Machine
• Heat Press, Cricut Easy Press or household iron
• Cricut Weeding Tools (I prefer these over the Silhouette brand)
• 12 x 24 Cricut Cutting Mat (I, also prefer these over the Silhouette brand)

SILHOUTTE USERS

Silhouette users, let’s take a quick moment to talk about Silhouette Studio. 

When you purchase a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine, you get the basic edition of Silhouette Studio which is a great place to start and all you truly need for this tutorial.

However, you will notice in the images below that I have the Business Edition of Silhouette Studio. Even if you don’t own your own business, I highly recommend it. 

It’s a one-time upgrade fee and includes everything you get in Designer Edition and Designer Plus Edition, plus it includes additional upgrades like my favorite of being able to export my designs in SVG, PDF, and JPG formats.

Seriously, Business Edition is worth every single penny!

Add a name in silhouette studio

Silhouette users, follow the steps below to add text to your Santa Sack. (Cricut users: skip to press your vinyl below.)

It’s a one-time, minimal charge to upgrade and worth every single penny!

• Add the name to the work area in your favorite font. 
• Highlight the text and open the replicate window from the right sidebar menu.

• Select the right or left mirror option.

• Move the original image off the mat and the mirrored image onto the mat

Cutting your Heat Transfer Vinyl

1. Open the Santa Sack SVG Cut File in your program. (As I stated above, when you first open your file, the mat will be blank. I made the designs to fit the XL Laundry Bags that I recommend. Simply zoom out to see the entire Christmas file.)
2. Group all like-colored images together on the mat and make your cut.
3. In the send window, choose which material you will be using (probably smooth vinyl for this project.)
   
4. Slow your cut speed to 4
5. Increase to 2 passes. (You may not need a double cut, however, I find it far easier to weed. I highly recommend that perform a test cut first.)
6. Hit send and cut out that fun design!

press your heat transfer vinyl

• Weed your Heat Transfer Vinyl.

Helpful Hint: Use wax paper to store your weeded designs until you’re ready to press them. This will keep them from sticking to everything on your work table. 

Take some time laying out your design to make sure you have everything where you want it.

Helpful Hint: Fold the sack in half to find the center. (If you look closely in the picture below, you’ll see where I folded it.)

• Preheat heat press to 305°; 15 Seconds. (See below for instructions on using the Cricut Easy Press or your household iron.)
• Press all Heat Transfer Vinyl onto the sack, and don’t forget to use the Teflon sheet. (For more help on this, use the same steps in Applying Heat Transfer Vinyl to a Shirt.) 
• Repress everything after removing the carrier sheets, always using your Teflon sheet. 

Using the Cricut Easy Press or household iron

• Preheat your Cricut Easy Press to 350° for 30 seconds. (Preheat your household iron to the highest setting possible, making sure the steam setting is turned off.)
• Layout your design on the XL Laundry Bag with the clear carrier sheet facing up, (sticky side down) and secure using the Heat Press Tape.
• Place on a hard, stable surface. Do not use your ironing board.
• Place a Teflon Sheet on top of your XL Landry Bag.
• Begin pressing by applying mild pressure for the Cricut Easy Press or very heavy pressure if using your household iron. Be sure to overlap sections as you press for 30 seconds if using the Cricut Easy Press or 60 seconds if using your household iron.
• Use a cloth to wipe over the carrier sheet with mild pressure. I do this to ensure that the vinyl will not pull up when removing the clear carrier sheet.
• Carefully remove the clear carrier sheet by pulling back, not up.
• Place the Teflon Sheet on top of the XL Laundry Bag again, and repress using the same temperature, pressure, and time from above.
